Oh boy, where do I even start with this one? Maybe it’s the coffee talking, but this whole Puzzling Places thing… it’s kinda intriguing if you ask me. So, Picture this: 2021 rolls around, and suddenly there’s this game where you’re literally piecing together parts of the real world in 3D. Sounds wild, right? Like, how do they even do that? Virtual and mixed reality is the name of the game, courtesy of these folks over at Realities.io. And now, guess what? They’re throwing it onto PC. Yeah, both in VR and good ol’ flatscreen mode. I mean, why not spread the love?
Okay, here’s the lowdown. They’re pretty much taking 30 of their all-time fave puzzles and giving them the ultimate glow-up. Think remastered with some fancy stuff like animations and new sounds. But hold up, no release date yet. Classic. They swear we’ll hear more “very soon.” It’s like when your friend says they’ll be “there in 5 minutes” and you’re left contemplating your life choices.
Anyway, there’s this ‘Snack Mode.’ I laughed at the name, not gonna lie. It’s like you’re nibbling on the puzzle bits over multiple sessions. Then there’s the ‘Tabletop Mode’—sounds like a jumbled mess but in a good way! Kinda nostalgia-inducing… like the time your grandma spilled all her puzzle pieces on the floor and you helped her search for that one missing corner piece. Ah, memories.
Not to be dramatic, but you’ve got choices. From easy-peasy 25-piece setups to those massive 1,000-piece beasts. Sounds exhausting but also kinda satisfying? On a PC, that means VR one day, flatscreen the next. Maybe on a Steam Deck. Options, people. Options.
Oh, and the team’s stoked. Like, slightly panicked but also really pumped? They gave a shout-out to everyone for making this happen. Heartwarming stuff, really.
So, until more news drops, you can go ahead and pop Puzzling Places on your Steam wishlist. If that’s your thing.
