Catchy's circuit-building puzzler IT THINKS! hits Steam November 20
The Korean studio's puzzle game has players build chips from NAND gates up to a working multi-core GPU, with 36 contracts across six acts.
Catchy will release its puzzle game IT THINKS! on Steam on November 20, the company announced. The game tasks players with wiring circuits from NAND gates upward, according to gamemeca.com.
No component is treated as a black box. Everything from adders to the GPU has to be built from gates the player places directly, and the final goal is a multi-core GPU that draws images pixel by pixel.
Completed designs can be turned into chips and reused in the next stage of construction, and players can write small kernels themselves. The game ships with 36 contracts spread over six acts, each scored on the number of gates used and the circuit's depth.
Finishing the first act unlocks a free-build workbench where players can place buttons, displays and lamp matrices on a front panel. Finished devices can be shared through a unique link that anyone can open in a browser without an account.
IT THINKS! includes Korean subtitles and voice.
