It’s not every day you encounter a game as stunning as the indie project All Living Things – much like meeting an extraordinary person. This captivating title from its indie developer is truly a gem.

Among the new games on the horizon, All Living Things shines with its unique stop-motion storybook style and animated enigmas. Drawing from the mythical essence of the philosopher’s stone and inspired by The Ripley Scroll, a 15th-century alchemical manuscript, it challenges players with cryptic poetry, ever-evolving handcrafted visuals, and 12 perplexing puzzles.

As a medieval history enthusiast, this game ticks all the boxes for me – though it’s been nearly a year since we last heard about its development. The delay can be attributed to one “beautiful woman,” as the developer known as Saint Vulture recently shared in a post. “Game development is going slow,” they admitted. “I’ve met a beautiful woman.” Fair enough, Saint Vulture. Totally valid.

“Harsh gamedev truth is I’m first off the boat if I hear a siren song,” the developer added in a follow-up reply, and the community is loving it. One commenter said, “Understandable. I hope you enjoy every day.” Another chimed in, “Disappointing, but I cannot fault you.” Who can blame them? This level of honesty from a developer is refreshing, and the comments reflect that sentiment.

One person even called it “the most legit reason for a delay announcement I’ve ever seen in the video game industry,” and I couldn’t agree more. If you feel the same, consider adding All Living Things to your wishlist on Steam and support this budding romance.
