“Puzzling Places” Set to Launch on PC with VR and Flatscreen Options

Sure, here you go:

So, I’ve been diving into this thing called Puzzling Places. Ever heard of it? Yeah, it’s one of those immersive puzzle games that’s been around since, like, 2021. And get this—it takes real-life scans and somehow makes them into these 3D jigsaw puzzles that you can play in both virtual and mixed reality. Seriously, it’s like magic. Anyway, the developers, Realities.io (cool name, right?), are about to unleash it on PC. Wait for it—they’re adding both VR and flatscreen modes. Mind blown!

So, I was skimming this Steam update (don’t ask me why, possibly avoiding chores) and Realities.io, in all their wisdom, is remastering 30 of their top puzzles. Now, don’t ask me which ones ’cause they didn’t say, but they’ve thrown in stuff like animations and audio effects. I bet it sounds like raindrops on a tin roof or something oddly satisfying.

No word on the release date yet—so, cue the suspenseful music—but they promise more info “very soon.” Classic, right? Oh, and this is new: you can play on a flatscreen now. So, if you’re hardcore into puzzles but maybe just not feeling the whole VR vibe, you’re covered.

Two modes are coming with it, which sounds all official-like. There’s ‘Snack Mode’ for those of us who like baby steps with curated pieces over time. How thoughtful. And then there’s this ‘Tabletop Mode’—basically your traditional scatter of pieces. Picture it: chaos everywhere. Why do we love that jumble so much?

They’re not skimping on the difficulty either. If you’ve got the patience of a saint, there’s everything from 25 pieces up to a thousand. I mean, who has the time? But hey, you can switch between flatscreen (like on a Steam Deck—fancy!) and back into VR with your epic gaming PC.

Oh, almost forgot! The Puzzling Places team, being the wholesome folks they are, dropped a heartfelt message about how excited and terrified they are. Sounds like they’re gearing up to climb Everest or something. They gave a big thanks, too, like they’re receiving an award or something. Sweet bunch.

And if you’re itching to get all puzzly with it, go slap it on your Steam wishlist or, you know, just daydream about it. That’s enough talking—phew!
