Max Inferno // A Little to the Left

What an honour it is to have A Little to the Left offered alongside the impeccable @unpackinggame.com by our friends at @witchbeam.com.au!

We've put together this bundle so you can move on in and test your organization skills in one tidy package!

It was so fun to attend the Video Game Arts Appreciate Night at the @agotoronto.bsky.social this past weekend!

It was so great to get to talk with ALTTL fans, amazing Canadian devs, arts supporters and those who are video game curious.

TY to @jimmunroe.net and Nathan Huisman for inviting us!

Umm, ALTTL somehow just hit a new all-time high for concurrent players some 3ish years after launch?!

We don't know what's going on... 🥸

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT: A Little to the Left 🧩

Derek's pick for cozy marketing done right:
✨ Authentic filming
✨ Perfect "eye trace"
✨ Seamless cursor flow
✨ Invisible detail mastery

Thanks so much for the mention!

We use "eye trace" to direct focus toward key elements, but also reduce disorientation between cuts- it's supposed to convey "cozy", after all!

For a peak example of this technique, check our trailer for the Cupboards & Drawers DLC:

@derek-lieu.com's "eye trace" revelation: Cozy games often have better visual flow than action games 👀

Invisible improvements keep viewers engaged without them realising why.

Watch A Little To The Left's trailer. Notice the flow.

That would be really cool! Maybe something worth approaching them about!

Yep, Tunic will be featured there too, however it doesn’t appear that Andrew will be present at the event

Come meet us tomorrow at the AGO!

We had the fortune of chatting over breakfast about our fav puzzle games with the wonderful PapaPupp and Pokie during their holiday to our hometown!

PapaPupp has shared his love of ALTTL from the very start, and gifted us this beautiful gem from his collection! ✨💎✨

This is one of the 3 new levels included in the newly released Packed Update for A Little to the Left!

Find a spot for that mint, those old worn toothbrushes, or all-season glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth!

Perfect time to tidy up, ALTTL is -50% in the Steam Summer Sale (on all other platforms too).

Thanks so much for playing along with us these past 3ish years! 🥰

Wow, thank you for sticking with us! We’re excited to let you all in on what’s coming next… but for now, a bit of rest 🥱

It true, we’re moving! It’s all a little too serendipitous that these major milestones are aligning… the house was such an inspiration for the game, it’s fitting to have both the physical and digital spaces “packed up”… thus the name of the update!

We determined it would be irresponsible of us to release something that powerful

Oh we're right there with you... And that's the chipper cut! We had a version that was a real tearjerker that we backed away from- it just melted us

The Max Inferno devs make their own trailers and they're all such a delight.

The sound design in the intro to this shows great attention to the little details 😘👌🏼

Great timing! We're really excited about this update... it was an opportunity to make the best version of ALTTL! Thanks so much for playing ☺️

The Packed Update is available on Steam (PC/Mac), Nintendo Switch (compatible with Switch 2), Xbox, PlayStation 5.

We're also happy to announce it's available for iOS and Android too! We thought there might be a delay, but everything wrapped up nicely.

We hope you enjoy! ❤️
