Almost at 300 reviews on Steam! I wonder how close we can get before the end of the year... 🤔 If you've played our game, consider dropping us a review, it helps a lot! And if you haven't, maybe the warm DS vibes of this trailer will convince you check it out:

Present from me to me! 🎁 Been really getting into ADV games this year and especially enjoyed catching up on the first 2 Famicom Detective Clubs 😄

Four games that defined my 2025.

💛 🖤

the very kind folks at stripe — our good (corporate) friends who power the financial parts of playdate and playdate catalog — stopped by our office and made a nice little playdate video for us. thank you stripe! onward to 2026!

It's been another wonderful year working a great team and studio on series near & dear to my heart 🐐 Merry Christmas from Revolution! 🎄⚔️ youtu.be/eMjyz8TbsYk?... @revolutionsoftware.bsky.social

My report from AdventureX, the UK's narrative gaming expo, is up! There's LOADS of chat with big adventure game creators on their NEW GAMES, including Charles Cecil, Dave Gilbert & Jon Ingold! And I do ask Charles if Broken Sword 3 will ever get remastered😄! youtu.be/uj6bECvOhcI

The Save Room Club is like a book club...but for games! For Xmas we've decided to take the time for people to catch up on any previous games we've played as part of the club, and are especially recommending "The Return of the Obra Dinn" 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILol... (1/3)

Today, a great injustice has been put right... Harry Flanagan of Revolution Software has his 'n' back, after it was mistakenly replaced with an 'm' back in April 2024 And what's more, we're doing a reprint of Debug #5 and will send Harry a replacement copy. That's the Debug way!

Haha April 2024 wasn't that long ago but I felt a lot more junior back then and too nervous to point out the error 😅 I'm still overjoyed to be in the magazine at all and this correction is just a testament to the great work and integrity of the guys over at @debugmag.com 💜

Today is a very good day! Thank you @revolutionsoftware.bsky.social Been waiting for this one since 1996

I forgot to share this video here but I'm so grateful to everyone who shared their lovely games with me!! I'll definitely be making more of these compilations in the future, so if you'd like to share or tell me about your #playdate game, please do!

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've been to: Anamanaguchi Blink182 The Blanks (Ted's acapella band from Scrubs) Mom Jeans Shirobon

We’re super happy to be featured in the latest issue of the amazing Debug Magazine 👾🎮 @debugmag.com We love Debug, it’s choc full of Indie games, news & stories and they are also a very lovely team indeed! 😃✨ Thanks a lot Debug! Check them out here - www.teamdebug.com #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

I need everyone to go buy and play Detective Instinct right now. A wonderful little adventure visual novel filled with heart that impeccably captures the charms of the DS-era (Ace Attorney, Hotel Dusk, Trace Memory). I adored it in every way www.inverse.com/gaming/detec...

I'll echo Hayes: if you're into this particular brand of visual novel, Detective Instinct is great! Finished it this morning and was really pleased with how it concluded. Worth it for the soundtrack alone, total Chill Gaming Music While You Work fodder. store.steampowered.com/app/2689930/...

Detective Instinct is NOW AVAILABLE in all regions (on 15% launch discount for the next two weeks)! Thank you all for supporting us. We did our best to craft a story we can be proud of, so we hope sincerely hope you enjoy it 🫡 Check it out on Steam or Nintendo Switch!

I guess I'm doing this then... 🎄🥳 Interest and details form here: forms.gle/Ydt1R7YoQD5g... Devs and other creators welcome to apply to sponsor prizes! 💜 #pointandclickmas

Just downloaded my copy of Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved on the Switch! Way back in 2023 I did some volunteer testing on this game and offered my feedback on some early builds. It's so impressive to see how polished the game looks now! Congrats @traindetective.bsky.social on the release!

Possibly my most anticipated game of the year releases tomorrow! 🥳👀

ONE DAY. Detective Instinct will be released on Nintendo Switch and Steam in less than 24 hours 😮 Thank you all for joining us on this pre-release journey, and I hope you dig the game we made. We'll see you tomorrow!

@adventurex.bsky.social thoughts & swag roundup! I attended AdventureX in 2023 as I was starting out in the industry & had huge imposter syndrome. I was blown away by the great games I played, talks I heard and devs I met. I knew I definitely would return someday... (1/5)

Detective Instinct releases in just TWO DAYS! On Steam and Nintendo Switch 👍 If narrative adventure games that feel a little like something you might have played on the DS back in the day are your thing, don't miss it 👁️

On this particular day I want to say that a critic's job is to criticize art, and an artist's job is to make something that resonates with specific people, which necessarily means it won't resonate with others. If every critic liked a piece of art, one or the other of us would not be doing our jobs.

More adventures games for Playdate, and everywhere! Let's gooo!

AdventureX (@adventurex.bsky.social) IS THIS WEEK🥳 I haven't got through as many adventures as I'd hoped...but if you tell me there's an adventure game for the @play.date!? That's definitely one to try 💛🖤 I played Chance's Lucky Escape 🏃 @golosogames.bsky.social @juliaminamata.bsky.social (1/4)
