We are thrilled to share that Sokobond Express, a beautifully minimalist puzzle game that combines chemical bonds and puzzling pathfinding in novel ways, is out on Steam now. Please enjoy and leave a Steam review! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1701330/Sokobond_Express/ Sokobond Express is developed by Jos Hernndez, a first time commercial developer living in Venezuela. After several years of hard work and refining the game until it felt just right, Hernndez is excited for players to finally be able to play it. Working on Sokobond Express for the last three years has been a real joy. I think the hardest thing to pull off in the game was the pacing - making levels get progressively harder while remaining engaging took a really long time. We spent a lot of time redesigning early-game levels to make them the perfect difficulty. We're really proud of how things ended up, so please check it out!- Jos Hernndez If youre a fan of other Draknek games, we know Sokobond Express will be right up your alley. It combines the pathfinding of Cosmic Express with the deep but elegant atom building from Sokobond - paying homage to its predecessors while also being an elegant and entrancing game of its own. Finally, the game is Steam Deck verified. Whether you're playing on Windows, macOS, Linux, or the Steam Deck, the game should provide a native and excellent play experience. We cant wait for you to play this puzzle masterpiece. Thanks, Draknek & Friends

Hey! Im Corey, director and programmer/musician of Bonfire Peaks. Since the game released in September 2021, weve been actively developing a trilogy of DLC called Lost Memories, a near-sequels worth of puzzles which will be released in 3 parts. Im excited to announce that part 1 is OUT NOW! Buying the DLC now will also entitle you to parts 2 and 3 when theyre available. We havent set a date for those yet, but theyre in active development! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2008250/Bonfire_Peaks__Lost_Memories/ (Note: Lost Memories can be played on a fresh save file, but for best experience you should play through Bonfire Peaks first. If not, the DLC will be a strange introduction to a bunch of the deep-game mechanics and twists.) Bonfire Peaks is many times bigger than I originally intended. It eventually got TOO big and, in order to ship, co-designer Alan Hazelden and I had to make hard decisions to cut entire puzzle mechanics, and dozens of puzzles along with them. Unfortunately, the content we cut was among my favourite stuff in the game! In the true spirit of Bonfire Peaks, maybe I should have moved on and been done with it, but I really want this stuff to exist in the world. I think its really good. So, we decided to take the time to polish and finish it as a 3-part DLC. One part for each category of puzzle we had cut. All that is to say that this DLC is not an afterthought (some of the levels were made back in 2019!) and Im so excited that the first of the 3 parts is finally out. Bonfire Peaks isnt for everyone, but if you played and had a good time with it, then Im sure this DLC will be like reconnecting with an old friend. Happy roasting, Corey

Lost Memories is a 3-part DLC for this critically beloved puzzle game, with each part bringing new mechanics and more lovingly-constructed puzzles. [previewyoutube=C4aYKw0ae2M;full][/previewyoutube] Lost Memories part 1 is roughly 1/4 the size of the base game, and will be available on March 2. Parts 2 & 3 are under active development.
