hi everyone. this is the video game Bombe. you should definitely only play it if you are excited by the prospect of eventually understanding whatever the fuck is going on here

it's minesweeper but you can't clear or flag the cells yourself. you can only write rules about when to clear or flag a cell. and then that case will be solved forever and you'll never have to think about it again. so everything that's left is now harder than that. and that's the whole game

it wasn't clear whether the game was actually beatable until one (1) person finished it. they remain the only person to ever do so, three years after release

btw the ui is kind of obtuse/dense, and for localization reasons it has as little text as possible. almost everything has a useful alt function if you right click, ctrl-click, shift-click, and/or double-click anyway talk to me about bombe

I don't play much non-Deck stuff at the moment due to physical reasons but this is definitely going on the wishlist. it feels tailor made for my kind of sicko energy
