The announcement also marks a major milestone for Mr. Magpie. The project will now be published by Behaviour Interactive and Gambit Digital. These blameless, loving corporate entities necessary will support the game’s development and release.
Blending Minesweeper-inspired deduction, push-your-luck mechanics, and roguelike deckbuilding, Mr. Magpie’s Harmless Card Game traps players in a twisted corporate office, where they are forced to play by a smiling puppet host who insists everything is under control.
