Hello Seekers,

The Islands of Insight Demo is available now! Jump into the islands and get a taste of our upcoming epic shared-world puzzle game. Explore sublime landscapes, solve tons of hand-crafted puzzles, designed by some of the best minds in puzzle design, and unveil the secrets of the land in a serene shared world. This is just a sample of the full game experience, so please note your progress will not carry over.

As we continue to work on the feedback from our latest playtest, we decided to make the same version of the game available again as a free Demo, so other Seekers can experience Islands of Insight for the first time. If you were with us for our playtest, then this is your chance to go back to the Islands to refine your puzzle mastery, complete challenging enclaves, delve deeper into the lush environment, and hone your Seeker skills.

If you can't wait for the full game, don't forget to wishlist!

Hello Seekers,

As puzzle lovers, we love to think, but right now, we want to share what we’ve been feeling since you embarked on this journey with us and played Islands of Insight for the first time.

We are so thankful for the thousands and thousands of Seekers who came into the islands to solve our mysterious and handcrafted puzzles and explore a sample of our sublime landscapes.

Over the course of the two-week playtest, you spent over 58 thousand hours solving and exploring, completed over 35 thousand enclaves, and, perhaps most incredibly, solved over 6.4 million puzzles.

This kind of response is beyond what we expected – so, thank you for the playing the game, for sharing your excitement, for making fan art, and for giving feedback and answering surveys. We appreciate you.

We’re thrilled to have finally gotten the chance to put the game in your hands, and overjoyed to see how positively it has resonated with so many of you.

And, we’re also excited to show you what’s coming next… maybe sooner than you might expect.
Until then,

See you (soon) on the islands,

The IOI Team

Islands of Insight is an open-world first-person puzzle game from Lunarch Studios and Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive that's currently in the midst of an open playtest on Steam. I've been playing it quite a bit since the weekend (the playtest began on September 7) and so far, I'm happy to say that I'm having a really good time with it...

Hello Seekers! It’s been just under three months since our reveal at the PC Gaming Show, so we want to fill you in on what we’ve been working on.

First, in case you missed it, our free Open Steam Playtest is live NOW until September 21st (10am PDT / 1pm EDT). We couldn’t be more excited to be finally inviting you into our world and getting your feedback – letting us know which puzzles you love, and which parts of the world you’ve most enjoyed exploring.

Since you last heard from us, we’ve been creating puzzles and making all sorts of improvements to the game. Gearing up for the Playtest, we really wanted to optimize the First Time User Experience, giving you a taste of both the expansive open world, and a variety and depth of puzzles. We’ve also been improving our UX and UI elements, progression and overall game flow to be as satisfying as possible. And, of course, we’re always optimizing to make the game run smoothly, so you can stay focused on your next eureka moment.

But we’re far from finished. There is still a ton of work ahead of us, and your feedback from the playtest is going to make a huge difference in shaping what Islands of Insight will be going forward, so be sure to join our Playtest and let us know about your experience.

See you on the Islands,

The IOI Team
