Vote for the Next Puzzle Game! (Patreon)

[Prey 2017 fan art by hexacult_floof because I felt like it]

Remember when I accidentally let Hi-Fi Rush win the indie poll even though it was made by Tango Gameworks, the makers of The Evil Within? Whoops! Turns out it wasn't such a big deal though. Between Fear & Hunger 1&2, Password, Arches, Echo, and Project Zomboid we've had a plethora of games that are indie-but-categorized-elsewhere on the schedule, so the actual indie slot was hardly missed.

So what's next? You might be thinking Blacksad, since we've been recording that, but I wanted to make sure we delve back into something more concretely puzzle-y, since it's been a while, even if holding onto my Blacksad videos for weeks or months is logistically inconvenient. I'd just prefer to satisfy the portal chamber sycophants before we delve back into another higher budget 3D indie (???) thing.

So I asked the nomination tier to recommend puzzle games, and added a few of my own ideas as well. Vote!
