Hello! Ah sorry, the offer has ended. Primo is usually $19.99, but our Reverse Sale for Puzzletrunk here on Itch made the game $5 more expensive, but gave the annual Primo sub as a bonus. 

We'll have some similar initiatives and opportunities to win an Annual sub in our Discord server over December, so keep your eyes out...

Hello! In the backlog of new features we're looking at rolling out, we're thinking of a Guest Log in, which would bypass any formal sign in but then also forgo any reward (this is the only reason we have the sign in - to be able to deliver game keys and the partnered rewards we have.)

Salutations! Puzzletrunk's October puzzle is now live! 

Solve this month's occult-flavoured challenge, and you'll guarantee a key for Pantaloon's partnered game for the month; the point-and-click renaissance masterpiece Four Last Things.

Solve the puzzle, bag yourself a great game.

GREETINGS. If you like giving that slab of grey matter nestled behind your eyes a good workout, BOY do we have the game for you. Introducing Pantaloon's Puzzletrunk: a puzzle compendium updated each month with new challenges, and new rewards for completing them.



This month, those who manage to successfully solve Puzzletrunk's inaugural puzzle will be entered into a draw to win a 256 GB LCD Steamdeck (terms & conditions).

Anybody that signs up to Pantaloon over the course of September will be given a copy of Puzzletrunk, after which point it will just be the Web version that’s available to all for free.

Please furnish us with your thoughts and feelings on the game; we'd love to know what you think, and what you'd like to see in terms of features and improvements for next month. 

Thanks (and GL).

Hello! We've just made our Brand Plan Template available on Itch.io -- a free 33-slide template that will become the commercial foundation for your game. 

If you're self-publishing your game on Itch (or anywhere else), but not sure how to navigate the murky waters or publishing/marketing -- working through this template until you have a solid Brand Plan will put your game on a path to commercial success. From there, the doors to the worlds of community, press, influencer, social - and all other flavours of marketing - are wide open. 

Our recently launched Publishing Hub contains a slew of other assets for studios handling their own publishing, and we're on hand for advice and reassurance.

Thanks! 

Hello! This looks interesting - what timelines are you working to? When does the bundle go live (and how long for?)

If the timings dovetail, we might be able to look at featuring this -- especially if there are any stand-out titles that are particularly weird or interesting. 

Salutations! Pantaloon is an unreasonably delightful newsletter that puts weird and wayward games up on a pedestal, and shines a light upon the developers that birthed them. Our mission is simply to surface bold and bizarre games that deserve chatter and attention. Maybe you're working on one!?

Each month we send out a Bold and Bizarre Games Bulletin, with the latest and great that we might find here on Itch, and are constantly on the lookout for peculiar or striking games that might be a fit for our 20k strong mailing list. We also run deeper partnerships with particularly noteworthy games (like Playables' KIDS, for example), and want to expose ourselves to the weirdest and wildest Itch.io has to offer. 

Anyway! We're constantly trawling the newly released titles on Itch, but if you'd like to send something for consideration directly, please do so here. 

Cheers x
