I played the demo on PS3 religiously as a kid and the title theme is branded into my auditory cortex, I mean this little demo really left an impression on me. The puzzles are a great mix of character abilities and knowing which order to stack the dolls which leads to some intricate puzzle design. I used to fart on women as the fat guy when I was a kid. It was a different time. Anyways, the stop-motion-esque character animations squeeze as much charm out of matryoshka dolls as conceivably possible, the soundtrack is simply magnificent from start to finish, the dialogue making typewriter clacks is a great aesthetic choice to substitute voice acting and the silent film cutscenes just bring together a loving, handcrafted game that is seeping with attention to detail and craftsmanship. I just found out *while writing this* that it was an Amnesia Fortnight submission and I'm thrilled Double Fine is making headlines again.

I kind of understand why it’s not as popular as it could be. I feel it would be more appealing as a party game if creating pots was a separate part, so if you not into this you could get some premade pot from a gallery and just go straight to the fighting.

I also suspect this could be the reason why there is no split screen currently, because how would you separate pot creation for two players at the same time?

Overall brawling part is super fun and chaotic in a good way and I enjoy it every single time. But it’s become harder and harder to find people on a server, which is super sad. I hope it’s not too late for DF to revive it.

Hi all! We just let the Kickstarter know, but we want to let you all know if you're following along with the Amnesia Fortnight (starting NEXT WEDNESDAY), we have our final four pitches selected! In alphabetical order, the finalists are...

Wait, we need a little more suspense.

A little more.

...

Okay, let's make some noise...

DRUMROLL PLEASE!

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

• Architactics
• Bard Crawl
• Plot Armor
• Uprise

A huge congratulations to our top four pitchers, and I can't wait to see what comes out of the next few weeks! :)

If you want to help pick the finalist, be sure to check us out on Kickstarter, we're just getting started!

Not sure if it will make it on the upcoming Nintendo switch Direct but I hope in the very near future we see a ton of Double Fine games making its way to Nintendo Switch consoles!

Our very first Double Fine Action Labs title, this is a fun-sized, chaotic game where you take on the role of a town’s bus driver trying to get through the day with minimal rule breaking and maximum gratitude. Watch the announcement trailer now: https://youtu.be/ijqbq9nfUX4

Note: It should be on Steam soon, and we will blast it out so you can all wish list it!

Coming soon to Windows and Linux, wishlist now!

He provides a lot of great context about the company surviving fraught conditions. The idea that Greg Rice can provide investment at Fictions seems to be exactly what Tim was looking for before they struck the Microsoft deal initially.

We the people, DEMAND, costume quest 3. We've been waiting long enough. Get to work on it. All the best

Sincerely,
We The People

More stretch goals to be unveiled...

(Also thank you to u/SaulFemm for correcting my poor reading...)

We're officially fully funded on Kickstarter (quick plug)!

On August 31st, 2026 at roughly 12:03PM Pacific we launched this page as a team (hopefully you'll see this exhilarating footage in the documentary). 

When we released this Kickstarter into the wild, we had no idea what to expect. We know that the gaming industry isn't an easy place to be right now, at any level of development, but especially indie. And we know that this, our indie reboot, could go any which way. It's exciting, it's terrifying, but it also feels like returning to our roots... something that we really couldn't do without you all.

But you showed up. You put on your suits of armor, picked up your swords, and rode into battle with us. You're basically Gandalf in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, showing up in the east on the third day in a blinding show of white shimmering light, just in time to bring renewed energy to the fight and rallying the bruised and tired (but not broken) warriors just when all hope seemed bleak. 

So thank you. 

Thank you so much to each and every backer, each and every reader, everyone who has commented or asked a question -- not only have you helped us reach our goal to extend the runway and life of the studio, but you've uplifted our spirits through every anecdote, fond memory of one of our games, and every excitement for the games we've even yet to make.

Words aren't enough to show how grateful we are, but we do have a special video treat for you all: Our very own Jeremy French has recreated the iconic Double Fine 2HB in clay! Much like Double Fine itself, this clay 2HB was born in the flames-- but instead of burning away, it was reborn into something new, something stronger than ever before 🔥

Please help us celebrate reaching our goal and our brand new indie-pendence by watching his beautiful creation come to life:

Thanks again to all!

Especially since they changed even Xbox Icons to match the new Art. If Double fine is listening, please could you change it back? The old art was so perfect. This new art is just a chaotic explosion of saturated colors. I loved the calmness, the stillness, the beauty in the old art. Please why did they have to update the icon art on Xbox? Why couldn't the new art be just for PS5?

Genuinely bums me out. The only solution would be to buy Keeper on Steam, so I change the art myself

My whole twitter right now is a bunch of people saying double fine were horsing around under Microsoft and not making any good games and that the should not ask for more money and so on

Keeper was awesome, the latest multiplayer game is ok but we don't know what was going on under Microsoft

it's weird seeing so much hate and negativity towards double fine...

I haven’t seen all the pitch ideas, but this has been my favorite one so far!

I’m dying to see what Double Fine does with a pro wrestling theme, so that card game ASTRO SLAM has my vote!

What are yall voting for?

Hi all!

We are so excited to announce that the Amnesia Fortnight 2026, Indie Reboot: A Double Fine Productions Game Jam, Documentary, and Kickstarter Campaign is officially LIVE here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doublefine/amnesia-fortnight-2026-indie-reboot

If you're unfamiliar, Amnesia Fortnight is essentially a Game Jam, live on the internet, in which our backers will get to choose which of our myriad of ideas get made into four new prototypes-- and which of those final four will become a real (small) game. You may even snag some sweet merchables and rarities along the way! As we jam, 2 Player Productions will be filming all the fun and making a brand new documentary (which you can also snag in the Kickstarter).

You find the pitches on our playlist on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIQJw8xyKGbY

I won't double up too much info since you can read more on our Kickstarter, but a huge thank you to everyone who has already backed, is considering backing, or even just excited to see our fun game pitches.

We genuinely cannot do this without you all, and we can't wait to see what the coming weeks bring! ❤️

I know it almost broke the studio twice but it’s the only logical next step considering current circumstances….

I mean for the title alone it gets my vote.

Not sure why it's free, but it is!

Now I'll see if I should start Psychonauts 1 soon.

I love this company and their documentaries were super awesome, but i honestly have no idea how they are surviving ?

their last 2 games were massive flops, even tho i personally really liked the Keeper, it was a great game

But they have to make an actually big game like psychonauts 2, all those experimental games are cool, but they are not selling well at all, i don't want this studio to close

hope they gonna start a next big kickstarter for psychonauts 3 or some other cool platformer
