Real talk for second, out of all the games that have or will have released this year, these 3 will most likely be my personal top 3 faves in no particular order:
#OcarinaofTime Remake
#Desolus from @DesolusDev and @QuantumApG
and last but not least
#Denshattack by @Denshattack!

An indie dev made a first-person puzzle game of Escher-like architecture.
- A Gothic city fractured across past and future
- Step between the two to make the ruins whole
- Exhibited at the Smithsonian American Art Museum
This is DESOLUS and it's out now, looks good?

Desafía la mente y la realidad con el apasionante proyecto @DesolusDev que fue creado por un exalumno de @quantumapg tras doce años.

My next appointment was with @DesolusDev @IMakeIndieGames to try out their game Desolus which felt like a Myst-like discovery 1st person puzzle game. In the game you explore the gothic architecture that's divided between past and future. youtube.com/shorts/tC0R1tkUs…

Desolus –
Holy crap, saw this and immediately said “this looks like Myst” and the guy laughed and said that was a great take. Think Myst meets portal. Short, but absolutely beautiful atmospheric puzzle game. Think @DesolusDev has something really unique and special here.

After that I came across Desolus from @DesolusDev, a first-person puzzle game where you have to more across two parallel dimensions to change the environment and progress. Very pretty, puzzles had a decent difficulty curve for the demo, the question is how it progress late-game

We playtested DESOLUS and our playtester loved the dimension-swapping mechanic — called it 'so fun' and 'amazing' right from the start. Full session here: youtube.com/watch?v=zGNzSls9…

3/ Desolus from @DesolusDev is a mind-bending puzzle adventure game inspired by Myst and Gothic architecture, where you rearrange the world by reaching through black holes and portals.
It's wild.
