Giving away three copies of my friend's recently-released game
A good friend of mine recently released his latest game, Social Caterpillar.
I will choose 3 random people who commented on this post by February 25, 2026, 06:00 UTC (unless you say in your comment that you don't want to join the giveaway)
This is the first time I've done a giveaway like this, but from what I saw online, if you win, I'll have to add you as a friend on Steam and wait a few days until Steam lets me send you a gift (unless someone tells me there's a different way of doing this!). I have no issues - and even expect - that you'll unfriend me once this is done. No hard feelings.
I will either edit this post or make a comment with the winners when they're selected. Will send a private message with my steam username for the friend thing.
Why I'm doing this giveaway?
I just really liked this game (and I enjoy his games overall). It hooked me for way more hours than I thought it would, and I loved the puzzles.
I told him I'd do a giveaway on Tildes, but I didn't know back then that I'd need an invite to join (I was - still mostly am - a lurker). So now that I have an account here, it's time to do it!
This game has a lot more to it than it seems at first glance. If you're still unsure whether the game is for you, but you like what you see on the store page and you like puzzles, click below for a tiny bit more about it. I hid it for those who don't want to read anything more than what's in the store page.
Just ran through a draw on random.org, congrats @moocow1452 @Pepetto @Jeybork ! I'll send each of you a private message to arrange the gifting.
For the curious, I took the ending of the link to each of the 15 comments included in the draw (last 4 characters) and randomised a list on random.org, then took the first 3 entries as winners. Here's the output of the draw (removed my IP address from the output):
Congrats to the winners! I've added the game to my wishlist for the future. I would have actually bought it now, but I'm planning to get Pokopia next week, so I'm being veeeeery picky about buying new games right now, heh.
That said, I would love for the winners to share their thoughts on the game whenever they play it! I always love chances to support indie developers, and nothing is more convincing than thoughts from regular people who actually played the games.
This looks like fun! I love puzzles and I especially love weird looking puzzles :)
No need for a key, I bought the game myself just now!
Oh one question actually @in29nk, do you know if it's playable on the Steam deck? I saw it has controller support but it's too new for steam deck verification :)
I tested it on linux, not steam deck, but others have reported playing it on the steam deck with no problems on the dev's discord server. Thanks for buying the game! Hope you enjoy it :)
Congrats on joining Tildes, good on you for helping your friend, fortuitous for me as this is my kind of game.
Good luck everyone!
I came late for the giveaway, but it looks cool, so I'll add it to my wishlist to pick up when I have some spending money
Sounds fun. I'd love to give it a try.
This game has some styyyyyyle. I'm interested for sure!
dibs on winning a copy
Game looks very interesting, would definitely be up for giving it a go.
Sure, why not. I like the way it looks
I like puzzles, and the premise of "people are puzzle" hits! would try.
Yooo, this seems right up my alley!
Looks pretty cool. And I'm happy to see it runs on mac and linux!
I'll be happy to sign up! This looks very interesting and unique, and the reviews so far make it sound like a real hidden gem. I think I might buy it even if I don't win the giveaway.
Ooh this looks fun!
What an interesting idea!
This looks cool! I'd love to be in the running for the give away. Thanks!
Okay, I’m interested.
Huh, looks cool
