Normally the steam awards winners are real stinkers, but the voters had shockingly good taste this year.

Isn't Blue Prince just Betrayal at House on the Hill the video game?

    Well... kinda but not really. The room-placement is only a small part of Blue Prince though and I think turning it into a roguelite was pretty innovative.

    Funny story, Tonda Ros actually hadn't heard of Betrayal until Blue Prince was well into beta testing. These things happen. The true inspiration for it was a choose-your-own-adventure/puzzle book by Christopher Manson called "The Maze". Manson actually contributed with the art for the paintings in the Gallery in Blue Prince.

    This is the first time anyone has described Blue Prince in a way that made me want to play it lol. Not knocking the game, I just figured it would never be up my alley. But I'm a big fan of Betrayal.
