Tabula – A Window-Stacking Puzzler

BY THIS WAY UP

"I was sold on this game the minute I saw the creative director pitching it to me from an empty field in the English countryside. The fact that the game itself looks like a green-tinged celebration of early PC aesthetics and interfaces is entirely a bonus. As a huge fan of Baba is You and Inscryption I'm VERY excited to dive into these puzzles and uncover the weird meta-textual lore lurking underneath. Also, the main character's name is Little Bit and He is My Hero."
