Overview
BitWise is a puzzle game that takes you from the simplest act of closing a loop to light a lamp, all the way to building machines that can listen to a blinking beacon and decode dots from dashes. Developed and published by Faint Current, this casual simulation title landed on Steam on October 13, 2026.
It's a single-player experience with Steam Achievements and Workshop support, and it's built around a real circuit simulator—no answer key, just the satisfaction of seeing current flow.
Highlights
- Real circuit simulation: Every part you place on the bench is wired by hand, and the circuit runs on an actual simulator. If the lamp lights, current reached it—no hidden grading.
- Progressive complexity: Start with a simple loop, then move through chapters where you build machines that interpret Morse-like signals and light the correct lamp.
- Chip sealing and modular design: Once you wire an XOR out of NAND gates, it becomes a sealed chip in your tray. Add an AND to make a half adder, cross gates to create a latch, discipline it with a clock to form a flip-flop, and line up flip-flops to build larger logic.
Who It's For
If you enjoy logic puzzles, programming concepts, or just tinkering with hardware, BitWise offers a gentle but deep introduction to digital logic. It's also a great fit for educators looking for a hands-on way to teach circuit fundamentals.
The game's camera comfort setting suggests it's designed for extended, focused sessions without discomfort.
