While the game looks like a great piece of art, I'm not sure how this game specifically is relevant to HN.

There's a lot of video games out there and this community typically doesn't upvote or discuss game releases.

Was there some previous discussion of this on HN?

Any dev blogs with interesting technical insights?

What's special about this?

Apparently all the puzzle and creature logic is built with in-game logic gates that you can modify.

Also, it's pretty and many of us like the aesthetic.

From the hn guidelines: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

A strong ai / hacking-themed game fits the bill.

I think misunderstood my post. I wasn't trying to debate whether this is off-topic or on-topic, but rather why this particular game is being upvoted when games on /newest generally get ignored.

In case there was some interesting dev-blog or somesuch being posted here earlier, I just didn't want to miss that.
