Cognizer to release on Steam "soon™".
In March 2016, Maniac Games released Cognizer for iOS and Android. It is a very challenging atmospheric puzzle game. Since the game works just as well with a touch screen or mouse input, bringing it to OSX/Linux/Windows made a lot of sense. We're just cleaning up some final details before releasing it to the public. As with the iOS and Android versions, the game will be a free download on Steam. There are no locked features, and the only DLC available is strictly for donating to the developer to support the next game.Read full article on Community Announcements (almo2001 [BHVR])
