A northern-themed logic-grid puzzle game where players paint stones dark or light and use carved runes to deduce the only valid pattern.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The game organizes its campaign as a map of 69 knots around a central Well, with each map stone representing a playable board. Seven authored regions introduce the rune systems before ten generated wedges extend the territory. The page says its 1,067 boards are checked by the game’s own solver, and that its fifteen-page rulebook uses real boards processed by the same renderer and solver. Challenge runs can preserve a seed for sharing.
