• New games from Shambles Software - 26 September 2025

  Hello Recursed fans. This year I've created a new puzzle game which was released on Steam called Only Sliding. It's a game about sliding blocks around. Whilst it is a puzzle game, it's different in vibes from Recursed but still just as tricky. It's available now for a reasonable price. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3575260/Only_Sliding/ The other news is that I have a second game which will be released in one month, on October 24th. Wolftown is a local multiplayer werewolf-style social deduction game. it's not a logic puzzle game like Recursed or Only Sliding, but I'm sure there is overlap between puzzle fans and social deduction game fans. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3948350/Wolftown/ If this does sound interesting to you, we run pre-release playtests for Wolftown on the Shambles Software discord server - https://discord.gg/5awueF5BNb - These run most Saturdays at 2100 UTC.

• The Last Tapestry - 30 September 2017

  The second free update to Recursed is here! The changelog: Added new mission pack, ‘The Last Tapestry’, available in the Nexus once the Ruins is unlocked. 20 new missions, new mechanics, bizarre hidden areas and new achievements. Numerous minor fixes to levels. Fixed level ‘Pillar’, try it again if you thought it was too easy. Brightened the paradox zone backgrounds a little. Fixed fan behaviour when stacked on boxes. Fix bug that caused a black screen when certain chests were thrown off the side of a room. Fixed persistent and obscure bug with Steam Overlay / OBS capture. This should now work correctly and the Steam Overlay can be reactivated if you disabled it before. Fixed bug where subtitle language would sometimes not change for the narrator / bird. Added educational-specific content, ask me for details if you are interested in using this game academically. Updated localization fil…

• Patch 04/01/17 - 4 January 2017

  Added a custom level loader. It detects missions in the custom/missions/ folder. Fix unfloodable chest in level 'Feedback'. (Thanks to Max W Chase) Fix difficult throws in levels 'Sinkhole', 'Clasp' and 'Escalate'. (Thanks to salty-horse and quad341) Minor redesign of 'Clasp'. Fix player spawn points in a few Oobleck Conundrum levels. Redesign 'Altar' level to avoid a messy jump which players kept attempting. Add support for multiple joysticks.

• Puzzle One on Greenlight - 15 December 2016

  I've put a puzzle game I created a few years ago onto Steam Greenlight. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=817410272 I'm currently working on something new and mindbending, like Recursed, but that won't be ready for a few months. In the meantime, I thought it might be good to add this older project with the view to releasing it as a budget title with some Steam integration features. Puzzle One is a permutation puzzle sandbox that's quite difficult and quite addictive. If you like Rubik's cubes or other twisty puzzles, you will enjoy it. Please check it out.
