Demo update 0.3 - Journal system and easier hubs

The new demo features a journal system, which will track the discovered mechanics and interactions. Once unlocked, each journal entry reveals a description and video demonstration. Players can be confident about what they've learned, and they no longer need to worry about forgetting old mechanics. Additionally, the journal features a lightbulb "hint" button, which will show all journal entries that are needed for the current level. This will remove uncertainty about whether the current level needs a new discovery, or if it just uses old mechanics in a new way. The main hub levels "The Beginning" and "Vignette" were also tweaked to be a bit easier. "The Beginning" was particularly difficult for its place in the demo, and this difficulty was not very interesting, so it's been greatly simplified to make it easier for the player to reach new puzzles. It still features all of the same bonus content as the previous version, except the sub-puzzle "Siblings" has been removed. "Siblings" was not a great reward for the amount of secret discovery that the player needed to do to reach it. The demo also already has way too much secret and bonus content as it is. The change to "Vignette" was much smaller. We just removed one crucial step from it, which was done because "VIgnette" already introduces a lot of new mechanics - including the meta elements. We hope the journal system and simpler hub puzzles will round out the difficulty curve a bit. The on-boarding is still quite a bit rushed compared to the full game, but we believe the new demo is much closer than the old version. Please join our discord for feedback!

Get penguins home safely in Gentoo Rescue! Penguins must coordinate with walruses, who just want to escape into the water. Items let you break the rules in progressively more extreme ways. They come with drawbacks, though, so tread carefully.

Featuring

  • Penguins, walruses, and fish. They bring opposing win criteria, which complements the "blessing and curse" nature of the mechanics.

  • Rapidly expanding set of mechanics and emergent interactions.

  • Over 300 diverse, hand-crafted levels that are simple, instructive, but deceptively difficult.

  • An interconnected network of puzzles with item-based progression and metagame twists.

  • Journal for tracking mechanics, which also lists entries needed for the current puzzle.

  • A tiered hint system for when you're truly stuck. These teach a deduction-based approach.

  • 16 biomes distinguishing areas and mechanics.

  • Original music.

Accessibility

  • No time-sensitive inputs, with undo and redo binds that work through resets.

  • Use controller, keyboard, or mouse with customizable binds. (Note: Puzzle editor requires a mouse.)

  • Colorblind friendly with customizable colors.

  • Most puzzles are optional for progression, and a setting makes any puzzle skippable.

  • Map navigation system for quickly returning to anywhere you've been.

  • Old solutions are saved.

  • Many other QoL features and options.
