Try Hogtie Right Now
Steam Box-Pushing Fest kicks off today, showcasing innovative puzzle games that push the boundaries of the classic box-moving genre. Hogtie, developed by RedDeer.Games and Alacrity Studios will join the event with a fresh take on puzzle mechanics.
Set in a Western-inspired world, Hogtie introduces a unique lasso mechanic. Players use it to pull, swing, and move objects, relying on physics-driven interactions. Instead of simply pushing crates, players must master momentum, predict movement, and think strategically.
The game’s design combines rustic charm with modern puzzle logic. Each level challenges players and encourages them to experiment with creative solutions. Hogtie’s dynamic puzzles evolve in difficulty, offering rewarding brain teasers with each stage.
During the festival, players can try a free demo of the game on Steam, getting an early taste of what it has in store for us. The full release is set for Q3 2025 on both Steam and Nintendo Switch. You can also wishlist the game to support its development ahead of launch.
With its unique lasso mechanics, escalating difficulty, and handcrafted puzzles, Hogtie redefines the classic Sokoban formula. The game stands out as a creative and engaging addition to the celebration of puzzle games that emphasize strategy and innovation.
