Some Puzzles Blends FMV and Surreal Design in Upcoming Adventure
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
A new surreal FMV puzzle adventure game titled Some Puzzles was revealed during Thinky Direct 2026, combining live-action footage with brain-teasing gameplay.
The puzzle genre is about to get a strange new entry. According to a recent reveal highlighted by IGN South Africa, an upcoming title called Some Puzzles is leaning heavily into surreal aesthetics and full-motion video to stand out in the puzzle adventure space. The official trailer debuted during Thinky Direct 2026, offering a quick glimpse into a world where live-action footage and traditional brain-teasers collide.
While the full scope of the mechanics is still under wraps, the use of FMV immediately sets it apart from standard grid-based puzzlers and minimalist mobile ports. For players who love digging into cryptic narratives and offbeat presentation styles, this project looks like a neat palette cleanser. It taps into the kind of atmospheric experimentation that often finds a passionate audience on streaming platforms, where chat interaction can help decipher bizarre clues in real time.
As we wait for more gameplay details and a release window, trailers like this prove that the indie puzzle scene is still willing to take creative risks. Whether the mechanics can match the striking visual identity remains to be seen, but it is definitely a project to keep on your radar. You can check out the initial reveal and official trailer over at IGN South Africa.
