‘I will probably never fully acknowledge whether or not everything has been solved’ says Blue Prince creator: ‘There are certainly mysteries still in the game’

The puzzle strategy roguelite game, Blue Prince, launched in April, features a non-linear structure and a rich narrative that players explore collectively. Despite spending extensive time on the game, many players feel the story remains incomplete. Developer Ros acknowledged the game's mysteries, including a missing cat and a non-functional arcade cabinet, both of which are set to be included in an upcoming update, although the release date is not yet known.

I played communist Germany’s only arcade cabinet and you can too, comrade

The Poly-Play is an arcade cabinet created in East Germany in 1985 by VEB Polytechnik Karl-Marx-Stadt, and it is the only arcade machine produced during the GDR's existence. It features a monitor from a German television and a cabinet made by a furniture maker. The machine is powered by the U880 microprocessor and offers eight games: Hirschjagd (Deer Hunt), Hase und Wolf (Hare and Wolf), Absfahrtslauf (Downhill), Schmetterlinge (Butterflies), Schießbude (Shooting Gallery), Autorennen (Motor Race), Merkspiel (Memory Game), and Wasserrohrbruch (Water Pipe Burst). Wasserrohrbruch was recognized as PC Gamer's Game of the Year for 1985. The Poly-Play was priced at 50 pfennigs, and children found a way to trick the machine into extending their playtime by inserting a single pfennig.
