Hey Daniel, I appreciate that! I'd be eager to watch your stream if I can.
Length will vary per person depending on puzzle solving pace, but yes I tend to estimate it at 3 β 4 hours. Though secrets and whatnot might extend that further!
I just received the music for the game's finale and can't stop listening to it β imagining the cutscenes and player experience is giving me goosebumps.

Figured I'd make a pinned post that covers both the fact that I am an artist and that I'm very interested in indies and puzzle games.
I also have a Steam curator page (which I should update more), in case anybody has overlapping interests

If you're making a puzzle game (or adjacent genre) or enjoy playing them, we have a Discord community for you. It's called NoClueπ‘ and it's all about giving support to devs, content creators, helping players find their new obsession and much more.
Have a look! π
Another day, another puzzle polished up!

That'd be very helpful :)
We're live, it's a puzzle night!
We're playing the demo for The Button Effect by @frycandle.bsky.social, followed by some #TR-49 by @inkle.co!

Thank you Steve! I'll take note, I should probably prompt the zoom sooner on Steam Deck and controllers. Working on adding reduced walk/look speeds when zooming in to help with aiming too :)

Are you open to short-form? I'm a solo dev working on The Button Effect, I have a page/demo up on Steam :)
It's inspired by some of the games you mentioned β especially The Witness
