Blue Prince is coming to Mac
Blue Prince, the architectural mystery puzzle roguelite, is coming to a Mac near you. In a press release from the game's publisher Raw Fury, it was announced that Blue Prince is getting an update that will add Mac support (via Steam) coming 'later this year.' Blue Prince released earlier this year and quickly became an early GOTY candidate with folks (i.e. me) drawing comparisons to the runaway hit Balatro. The game is kinda like Brewster's Millions with a heaping helping of intricate puzzles to solve and roguelite mechanics to keep you on your toes. In it, your recently deceased uncle has given you the keys to his beloved Mt. Holly manor and has stipulated in his will that the house will be yours if you can find the secret 46th room. The manor is mysterious and its layout shifts and changes every night. Build rooms and solve puzzles to get closer to discovering that 46th room while solving other, deeper mysteries along the way. It's a great game, and definitely well-suited to play sessions on a Macbook Air. In addition to the new platform – which joins PC, PS5, and the Xbox Series X / S – starting today the game's subtle but vibey soundtrack will be available for purchase on Steam. You can buy it either standalone for $10 or, if you don't already own the game, it's being bundled with the soundtrack for $36.

A complete guide to solve the Atelier Blueprints Maze in Blue Prince
Image via: Raw Fury If you have found your way into the world of the Blue Prince theater , perhaps witness the whispers that speak of the Atelier. Draped in symbolism, colors, and codes, this is not merely an optional side pass, rather it should be considered a passage for puzzle enthusiasts. Sure, making it there isn't easy at all, but making it through? Well, that's another story altogether. What you have in front of you is a short and swift survival guide to one of the game's hardest areas. Stage one: Get entry, the hidden door Long before setting foot on Atelier Maze, a very elaborate initiation welcomes you: Conquer the Throne Room. An act that is very much symbolic to restore order, but beyond that, opens the deeper layers in the architecture of the game. Permanently lock every Blue Door. A sign that you have ventured into the private spaces of the game. Solve the Coat of Arms Puzzle. Give this vital clue. Compose the Secret Passage. This is where it gets tricky. The Secret Passage must be an outer room on your layout. Some RNG is in play here so patience may be needed. Solving the Blue Prince Atelier Blueprint Maze: A Step-by-Step Guide Stage two: Mind the steps The maze does not offer any help in figuring itself out; it devours time and movement. Hence plan accordingly: Check your steps before the day. The +20 move bonus from the Sauna surely comes in handy. Plan your layout smartly. Rooms like the Coat Check should go early in the lineup to conserve steps. Stage three: Patterns and Prisms The Atelier Maze, a complicated network composed of 45 rooms and dense with colors, symbology, and arcane meanings. Here's the puzzle you are standing upon: Paintings are paired. Likewise the manor, the maze has twin artworks. Each pair conceals a word puzzle. One word has an extra letter-take note of it. These extra letters will leave behind a message. Mora Jai Boxes have each room containing a colorful puzzle box. Solve it and receive a word clue. Collect them all, and patterns start to emerge. Don't even think about ignoring the ceiling or corners. The lanterns provide visual clues to help decode the space and guide your path: colors of all sorts. The First Time Reaching Antechamber Demo Prince The reflection of mind and secrets of the Blue Prince. It's not solving a maze through ticking tasks on a list, but seeing connections where others see chaos. So next time you find yourself in front of a violet lantern next to a prism-shaped door, ask yourself, "What does the color signify? What is different from the last room? What does the maze say?" Listen closely and you would find the way. And maybe, the Blue Prince would let you in on his last secret.

D&D-skewering, Disco Elysium-inspired RPG Esoteric Ebb had me trying my best to be a cleric while my Intelligence stat kept telling me to become a wizard-king
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Waking up in a morgue in the updated demo for Disco Elysium-like RPG Esoteric Ebb, the first thing I did was check out the other body lying in there with me. It's hard to tell what's a brand new interaction compared to my run through Esoteric Ebb's original demo versus pre-existing stuff uncovered by a fresh character build—I went all in on Intelligence and Wisdom this time. While I couldn't determine a cause of death, I did discover that this guy didn't have insurance: He was marked as a viable candidate for some good old fashioned D&D-style resurrection magic, but nobody had done the deed. "He clearly did not have an RF. A Revive Fund," my Intelligence chimed in, calling to mind the interior adventuring party/Greek chorus of Disco Elysium's personified skills. "Nor did he have family members with enough ready cash. Or maybe he was just an unlikable fellow. Who knows?" My altruistic Wisdom suggested I revive this man with a valuable third-level spell slot, which the more pragmatic Intelligence immediately shot down. How will I get anything done if I try saving every lost life I come across? More ominously, what if they don't want to come back? Either way, it's a moot point for the demo. I'd have to pack on way more levels than this preview had room for and find a scroll of Revivify out in the world to boot. But the interaction is illustrative of everything that's got me excited about Esoteric Ebb, evidence that it's not just crying "Disco Elysium" for attention from a hungry RPG community, but that it can back it up with the thoughtfulness, charm, and dense, replayable design that Disco's legacy calls to mind. This body, one of the first things I saw in the starting room, is a potential game-spanning mystery, an "ooooh, I gotta come back for that" little tease that'll have me making tracks for the morgue the second I unlock Revivify in the final game—even if it's just to quicksave, resurrect the guy to find out he's an ungrateful asshole, and promptly quickload. Image 1 of 9 Image 2 of 9 Image 3 of 9 Image 4 of 9 Image 5 of 9 Image 6 of 9 Image 7 of 9 Image 8 of 9 Image 9 of 9 Since the last time I checked in with Esoteric Ebb, lead developer Christoffer Bodegård secured a publisher, Raw Fury, leading to this updated demo, a new trailer, and a sheen of "we have a budget now" over everything. Esoteric Ebb already had a lovely cel-shaded art style, but everything has more depth and detail now, like when a cartoon gets a theatrical movie and all of a sudden there's shadows and way smoother animation. Esoteric Ebb's soundtrack is also noticeably expanded, with a vibe of "chill beats to fail skill checks to" that calls to mind Tunic or Hyper Light Drifter's dreamy soundscapes. The new demo consists of two core quests, same as the original: Deciding what to do with a group of protesting dwarves and the Pinkerton half-orc trying to get them to go home, and a sort of dialogue boss fight with a goblin queen that resembles the first Evrart Claire scene from Disco Elysium. The playable area of the town has been expanded, though, while the game has gotten a bit more forgiving and approachable. Character creation is more clear about how to effectively build the cleric, including helpful sample builds, and the dice rolls seemed to go my way a bit more this time around. Even though you are a cleric—that's even what people call you despite your optional insistence on a skill check-gated, possibly misremembered given name—you can build your guy however you want. Max out Strength and Constitution like a dumb brute fighter, or go all in on Charisma and Dexterity like a wannabe rogue, the game takes note of this and has a bit of fun at your expense. My brainiac Intelligence kept insisting I was actually a wizard, unlocking new dialogue options to that effect. It even opened up choices to insist I would become wizard-king of the city, or to express support for the cryptofascist "rule by wizards" political party in the upcoming elections. Esoteric Ebb has a "D&D rules pushed to their logical conclusion" sensibility that's half-Planescape and half-Shrek. One conversation implied that character alignment is a genuine force that can impact the world, while a lecture on magic hell law from a Lawful Evil imp is still my favorite conversation in Esoteric Ebb so far. Esoteric Ebb is very much imitating Disco Elysium from its user interface to some of its core conceits, but its more zany sense of humor, as well as its clever use of Dungeons & Dragons tropes and mechanics, have the potential to send things in an interesting new direction. Esoteric Ebb does not have a set release date, but you can check out its demo for yourself and wishlist it on Steam. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together
