We've just released our penultimate lore drop for Occlude on the Discord! This one talks about the difference between Obscurants and Magicians, and how the Castle uses them to suppress information.
Curious? Hope over to the lore-drops channel to read it in full: discord.gg/v9yX3up39g

The reaction to the bugfix in King of the Castle has been genuinely overwhelming. The last time we got this many positive reviews was ten months ago - madness!
We're releasing a lore drop on Arald the Great as a thank you in our Discord. Much love to you all.

Our new puzzles for the Cardinals update will be even more difficult, just to cause you personally pain and sorrow. It's what we do best.
If you haven't picked up a copy of Occlude yet, what are you waiting for? The end of the world?
If so, even more reason to get it... bsky.app/profile/greg...

We (finally) have Steam Trading Card for Occlude! We've also got emoticons and profile backgrounds too.
Good luck collecting them all! Or turning them into gems. Or printing them out and eating them, one by one, under a dank, wet bridge in Prague at midnight. Whatever you like.

How many of the Found Objects have you found in Occlude? And have any of you noticed that the Found Object on the Steam page is redacted, compared to the one in the game?

We've been hard at work on another small update, along with getting our Steam Trading Cards/Badges approved and a bigger, more secret thing.
We'll hopefully have some more exciting news for you all next week! In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of regrets and reshuffles.

There's nothing like the Punched Card for making you sound like you've lost your marbles.
It's either that or @mrkaji.bsky.social has just forgotten how to count. Pretty fifty fifty on what's more likely.

We’re on an absolutely crazy 89% Positive on Steam. Considering puzzle games tend to get lower average reviews we absolutely did not expect this.
If you’d like to help us get to 90%, well, we’re not going to stop you: store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...

Here's what Occlude looked like when we first started working on it, roughly five months ago.
Thanks to a lot of hard work, extremely talented people and some great tech, it's a hell of a lot more impressive now.

We hope you're all having a wonderful weekend full of life-changing mistakes, terrible decisions, and the constant, crushing weight of guilt.

Ever wondered how we make our sound effects in Occlude? Well the superb @edsibley.bsky.social built this... monstrous thing. It's his very own Foley box, and all the noises in Occlude were spawned from it.

Are you a fan of unmaking reality through cursed games, but not such a fan of extremely difficult Solitaire? Why not give Story Mode a go!
You get more straightforward deals, two free slots and unlimited undo - With the same story as every other player.

We've revamped Occlude's RNG for launch! The secret cards a Ritual wants you place last are still randomly assigned - but now every deal you get will be solveable for every possible combination of cards.
These took a while to generate - Please pray for @owennewburn.bsky.social's CPU. #indiegames
