@backyardzoo.bsky.socialHaha! I love this kind of bug. It would certainly be a surprise and catch you off guard 🤷
@backyardzoo.bsky.socialThank you! It was a little amusing to see it being showcased alongside the new Hellraiser game. 🤣
@rosinarts.bsky.socialReposted by @backyardzoo.bsky.socialHell fuckin' yeah! What great timing. I was just thinking about how excited I am to play more of the game 😊
@backyardzoo.bsky.socialI think I might’ve misjudged the final puzzle difficulty a little (and made it too easy) 🫣
@backyardzoo.bsky.socialAmazing to hear! Thank you! I really hope you enjoy it. I had feedback that the puzzles in the last one were a bit esoteric (had to look it up) So now I think they’re more true to life and realistic to how you’d react IRL Your feedback has been so valuable and it’s still not too late to tweak! 🤣
@backyardzoo.bsky.socialI am so glad to hear it. Thank you 🫶
@backyardzoo.bsky.socialTheres a brand new Mayfly demo available on #steam.
Hopefully this is the final improvement before launch day!
You can give it a go here:

@backyardzoo.bsky.social👋 Some new screenshots from my upcoming psychological horror game, Mayfly.
You're trapped aboard a narrowboat, your husband is mysteriously missing. Can you find a way out?
