Get lost in the design process for The Witching Hour from Rebecca Channon, writer and designer of the puzzletale game.

Told in the creator's own words, this design diary talks through the mazes and witch trials that seeded the earliest ideas for the creation of The Witching Hour.

This month's What Are We Playing blog focuses on five completely different games that require different kinds of attention. A paper puzzle told in two parts, a rhythm game about a teenage musician, a text-only deduction mystery game, a time travel story hidden inside a house full of people, and a merge game with tons of adorable dogs in it.

This month's What Are We Playing ranges from numerous coming-of-age stories that are out of this world, a fast dice-drafting rouge-lite video game, and the start of a boxed set of supernatural mystery cases.

This month's What Are We Playing features games ranging from a five-chapter treasure hunt to a free deduction game built around a family tree, plus a familiar psychological RPG and a murder mystery that feels straight out of 2009.

The Stormlamp Rituals started out as a monthly publication by Jack Fallows, and was originally titled Cryptogram Puzzle Post. What did we do to turn it into a book? Learn about the process involved.

This month's What Are We Playing highlights the amazing quarter we've had for video games. It wouldn't be a PostCurious WAWP without a few tabletop games to round it out!
