Even though Humble Bundle is no longer the independent little outfit we grew up with, they're still offering bundles that donate to charity every other fortnight. And their latest bundle is worthy of some attention, because it's all Australian.

Earlier this year it was announced that a Perth-based studio, of all places, was making a new Battlestar Galactica game. It wasn't a mobile spin-off or a small project, but a fully fledged 3D strategy tactics game where humans command their fleet against the brunt of a Cylon attack.

Called Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, the developers finally showed off some gameplay in a livestream this week.

It's not often that Aussie games gain a lot of traction on Steam. And it's even rarer that Aussie games strike a chord with the wider Steam base.

Until today I had no idea this video game existed. But it does.

It's the weirdest thing ever.

When we showed off The Forgotten City last year, it looked almost good enough to be a release from Bethesda themselves. It's basically one big giant murder mystery set underground, complete with lateral thinking puzzles, an original soundtrack, multiple endings and interrogations.

It's an exceptional piece of work. And it's now a culturally recognised piece of work, after its Australian creator won a national screenwriting award.

If you've had a Myst-size hole in your library lately, or been looking for another puzzler to occupy your time after knocking off The Witness, good news: one came out this week. And the better news: it's Australian.
