Spoilers inside
Frog Fractionswas a breath of fresh air when it launched in 2012. (Has it really been that long?) Theunconventional gamewas full of surprises and left a lasting impression on pretty much everyone who stuck with it. The developer, Jim Crawford, successfully launched aKickstarter for a sequelin 2014, andFrog Fractions 2could have been hidden in plain sight ever since. There’s beenlotsofspeculation, but no one had discovered the true sequel toFrog Fractionsuntil now.
This is the part where I start spoiling stuff. If you want to back out, now’s the time to do it. It’s going to happen after the picture, so don’t say you weren’t warned.
Okay, I assume if you’re still reading this you don’t mind finding out whereFrog Fractions 2has been hiding. It turns out that the title was only released two weeks ago on December 13, under the nameGlittermitten Grove. As you might imagine, this title has become far more popular since the news broke, going from a maximum of 5 people playing simultaneously to over 300 a couple of hours ago.

Glittermitten Groveis nominally a game about resource management and helping faeries to collect berries and set off fireworks. In actuality, it’s the candy shell concealingFrog Fractions 2, which was unlocked and went up on Steam after a lengthy alternate reality game (ARG) led to a mysterious box and key. One could easily argue that the ARG was a huge part ofFrog Fractions 2, and that all the sigils and misdirection placed in other indie titles were all just part of the fun. If you’d like to try it out for yourself,Glittermitten Groveis available on Steam for $19.99.
