#GUIDELINES:

###EVERYONE:

r/puzzlevideogames is welcome to everyone, regardless of age, gender, gender identity and expression, religion, nationality, race, sexual orientation, disability and physical appearance.

Please do not use harmful language and respect your fellow redditors.
Try not to steer the conversation too far from puzzle games.
Put spoiler tags when necessary.
If you are recommending a game, don't just post a link. Give us reasons why you like it. What makes the game unique or interesting?
If someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, please message the moderator(s).

###DEVELOPERS:

Post work-in-progress titles to the "Upcoming Releases" thread to be featured there (or if it's archived message the moderator(s))
As a general rule, only post a game that we can play: a demo or released game.
Make it clear that you are the developer. You may add "[Dev]" to the beginning of a post's title, or simply say so in the main body, if it's a text post, or in the comments, if it's a link.
Please describe the game you are posting about. Tell us why you made the game and why we should play it. For example, what makes your game special? What's your hook?
Please don't spam, or you will be banned. This isn't free advertising. It's a place to discover new puzzle games and highlight the developers who make them. Please post if you genuinely think the community will enjoy it. In other words, don't post in bad faith.

###YOUTUBERS/TWITCHERS:

Only post something that contributes to the conversation: video essay, design analysis, let's analyze, etc.
Let's plays or streams will no longer be allowed.
Reviews will no longer be allowed.
