Oh man, where do I even start? Picture this: Puzzling Places (yeah, that game from 2021) is about to hit PCs. It’s like your favorite smoothie getting an extra shot of espresso—more kick, more buzz. Realities.io, the folks behind this brain-bending jigsaw-in-VR experience, are jazzing it up for PCs with some VR magic and, surprise, flatscreen mode too. Who asked for flatscreen? I mean, do we ever know what we really want?
Anyway, these guys are all “hey, we’re sprucing up 30 of our best puzzles.” Think attachments, animations, and sounds like you’ve got a mini orchestra in your living room. They’re keeping mum on the exact date, but a little birdie – err, Steam news update – hinted it’ll surface “very soon.” What’s time, am I right?
Snack Mode and Tabletop Mode are coming along for the ride. Snack Mode is like that random handful of popcorn during a movie, just a few curated puzzle pieces to chew on. Tabletop Mode? The full pizza pie—pieces all over like your dining table on a chaotic Friday night.
And about those pieces—levels, you know, the 25 to a whopping 1,000-piece puzzles—all carry over. The beauty? Now, you can crack these puzzles wide open on a Steam Deck, then flip back into VR like a tech wizard from the future.
Oh, and let’s not overlook the team’s heartfelt shoutout. “Super excited (and terrified)” they say. Gotta love the honesty. In the meantime, if you’re curious or just procrastinating, you can slap Puzzling Places on your Steam wishlist.
