LOK

Thank you tremendously for your work Blaž! I printed this out for my plotter mini 5 :) Then used a business card laminator for the clear sheet to play LOK as intended as possible. I can't wait to finish this and explore more of your content. 

I've been playing the steam demo of LOK and omg I love it so much! But how does the demo work exactly? I've never played a demo where I wasn't given a time limit or wasn't allowed to play past a certain level.

Amazing puzzle! I Love the desing, the character(s), and the fact that even in the spoilers, you have to crack the code. It's flawless. Great job. Looking foward to the Digital version

hey, I still don't get how 31a puzzle isn't solvable while 28-30 are. Any hint? :)

So I printed out version 1 a while ago and I want to know if I'm missing anything about the metapuzzle in version 2. Am I missing anything important? For reference, mega spoilers, rot13(V'ir orngra cntr sbhe)

I have literally hundreds of board games, computer games, gamebooks -- not to mention movies, YouTube....but THIS puzzle book has been my chief and best entertainment over the last couple weeks.  Great stuff.  Just purchased the follow-up. Thanks to Tom over at Shut-up and Sit Down game channel for the recommendation.

Hi. How would work an international purchase? I'm from Brazil

This is so cool, I have the digital free version and so far I have loved every part of it. I managed to get other people to play and we had a wonderful evening of brain-wrecking together. Thanks a lot for your work, I'll try to get a physic version soon.

This is a brilliant bit of game design. I love how gently the puzzles guide you into understanding each rule, so far I’ve never felt lost but still feel clever when I get a new one. Do you have any advice about tuning the difficulty in that way? It’s something I really admire in games that do it well but struggle with creating.

LOK is a groundbreaking text that will pioneer the world of inductive game design. i have only just begun but have glanced forward at future chapters and cannot wait to work through this whole beautiful book. amazing artwork, highly immersive, rewards lateral thinking and straightforward logic both.

this game rules. thank you.

Its EXCELENT, I adore this game, the puzzles are short but smart and I love the sense of achievement when I figure out a rule, I've printed the pdf in A5 and carry it with me to solve puzzles on the metro and it's fantastic. I love that it is free so anyone can enjoy this masterpiece and if you have the means you can pay what you want.

Keep the good work 

I love the puzzles, but was stuck on nr. 24. Even after looking at the solution it seems to be invalid. :( Rule of TA and adjacency are not respected in the solution? Or am I missing something?

Oh WOW, this is incredible! I saw LOK on the front page of Itch and instantly clicked it because it's 100% up my alley (and I had a bunch of HP Instant Ink prints about to expire lol so it worked out doubly well!). I printed a copy for myself and for my partner, Angel, so we can work through it together-but-separately. 

I'm really, really excited to work through this book, but goodness is it huge, VERY well put together, and clever!

I heard about lok from the latest shut up and sit down video, tried the free pdf and LOVE IT which led me to buy it right away. I really like how clever the puzzles and the rule discovery is. Thanks for this great game! I'm also looking forward for your next projects!

Do you have recommendations for similar solo / puzzle games?

Thanks again!

this seems like such an interesting puzzle game! the art is also very pretty :)

Hello!

I enjoyed it very much! It was a great puzzle game.

I made a Japanese translation of this game. If you are interested, please take a look. I hope you would be pleased.

I will also upload my Let's Play videos on my YouTube channel in the future. (Since I am speaking in Japanese, I know it will be difficult to understand!)

Anyway, good game!

When I solved puzzle 33 I was already hooked so I bought the digital file. I just reached chapter 6 and figuring the rule made go “Aaahhh!” so I came to purchase the physical book but unfortunately it’s sold out :(. Great job mate! I will surely keep my eye open for anything new (and old) by you! 

I just started playing this from a suggestion of a guy in a mechanical puzzle Discord group... really enjoying it so far!  I suggested Lineon to him, and then discovered they're by the same person!  You do great work!  Looking forward to more!

So cute and evocative, and the puzzles are so clever!

This is awesome, big thanks for sharing.

I needed to translate the game so that my friends and family can play it too, not sure it was the easiest or best solution especially since your amazing presentation is lost in the process but I ended up just using a pen.

I am going to laminate the sheets but still scanned those to be sure I can still print more if needed, I still have to make the second half but here is how it looks in case you'd be intrigued (I guess at very least it shows the interest we have in your game) : https://imgur.com/a/G0ZX4D0

I solved the different chapter beginning examples on the go but haven't begun to dig the advanced ones, this will be ton of fun.

Thanks again!

Only just starting to solve these puzzles but I have to leave a comment because I can't believe nobody else has. This is such a fun-looking book, both with the puzzles and the aesthetic. Very excited to continue progressing through this world!
