At long last, we have set a release date for Puzzle Depot! In a little less than a month, Puzzle Depot will launch on Steam and itch.io! We'll be doing some final tests with the beta over the next couple weeks and getting everything prepared for launch day. Please bear in mind, this date is somewhat contingent on some technical and business-related details completing without delays, but as of now things are looking good!

We hope you'll forgive us for not releasing in October as previously stated. That last week of the month was... not looking promising.

Call to Action: Additional Test Subjects Needed!

With launch looming, we would like to give the beta build as much testing as possible until the end of October. To that end, we are seeking additional testers with some time for puzzles this month to help us out! If you would like to participate, please drop us a message or join our Discord .

Where's the Shiny New Trailer?

We would have loved to wow everyone with an awesome new trailer in this update, but it's not quite finished, and we didn't want to delay the announcement any further. Sorry about that! In the meantime please enjoy these montages of gameplay from various levels:

As always, we greatly appreciate the support we've received throughout this project. It's been quite a journey, and we're very excited to finally share this game with all of you in November!

Announcement: New Release Date

As previously announced, our goal for Puzzle Depot was a late Q2 release, and unfortunately we have missed that window. Due to some unforeseen hurdles in Q2, we've decided to take just a little more time to put the polish on some remaining details and ensure the best experience we can at launch. We will have another good opportunity to release in October, so we are making that our new goal. This time frame will give our testers time to play through the finished version of the game and puts us in a position to provide better support during the crucial post-launch period.

In the meantime, we'll be crossing the last items off our list and preparing for launch. Here's the main tasks ahead of us:

- A final pass on a couple music assets (we squeezed in an extra track; it's a banger!)
- Adding some finishing details on the backer bonus level
- A final pass on dialogue and datalogs
- Tackling some important (but boring) business-related tasks
- Testing of the complete version of Puzzle Depot
- Production of launch trailer

We understand this type of announcement can be disappointing, but we wanted to be clear about where we're at in development. The finish line is truly in sight, and we're very appreciative of the incredible patience and support we've received along the way. It really makes a difference.

Thank you all once again for the understanding. We can't wait to share Puzzle Depot with you in October!

Puzzle Depot's free demo just got bigger! In celebration of Steam's Box-Pushing Fest we've unlocked an entire new level, the Great Alkali Basin!


For a limited time, encounter herds of massive millipedes, bubbling caustic lakes, mushroom-filled grottos, and even more in the expanded demo! Only the bravest explorers will uncover all of the Great Alkali Basin's mysteries.



Explore a variety of environments beyond the Union facility. The Basin's caverns are teeming with dangerous invasive species.



Ironpedes are a new creature that are quite common in the Basin's rocky cliffs, and many areas of the game beyond this one. Learning how they behave is key!



Discover new interactions with familiar objects. Wooden crates and barrels are great for forming bridges over the bubbling goop, but be wary of hungry termites.


This is a far more open-ended level than the familiar Storage Bay Alpha, and the optional goals are even trickier this time, so dig in while this level is available! (Oh, and because we were a little late with our announcements we're just gonna go ahead and leave it up for a good while after the event, until June 5th).

Happy pushing, and good luck in the Great Alkali Basin!
