I loved the demo of this game. It was a very neat puzzle with very cool animation. Since it is now released, I would very much like to buy it without DRM. Thanks a lot GOG

it's a very calm game. i really need to play more stuff like this. yknow, not every game needs to have multiplayer or loot boxes or what not. personally, i think everyone should at least experience this game. would be nice if it was drm-free for a small, single-player game like this. i mean it makes sense, right?

This game is a very unique experience I must say as I can't really think of anything else quite like it. It's very calming and deceptively simplistic, but it's actually surprisingly addictive one you get started. I would very much like to see it be brought to GOG so that it can be preserved.

Window seat or aisle? Booth or table? Lone wolf or life of the party? In Is This Seat Taken?, your mission is to organize groups of people according to their preferences. It’s a cozy, no-pressure logic puzzle game where you’re in charge of who sits where.

 

 

Whether it’s the cinema, a crowded bus, a wedding reception, or a cramped taxi cab, every setting introduces new characters with specific tastes. A party guest with a sensitive nose won’t be happy sitting next to a stranger who’s wearing too much cologne. A sleepy passenger won’t be happy trying to nap on the bus next to someone listening to loud music. It’s all about reading the room to find the perfect placement!

 

 

Nat is an aspiring actor whose world gets turned upside down when they see a shape just like them on the big screen. This discovery sends Nat on a global journey to meet their hero and figure out how to fit in. Experience Nat's heartfelt story as you travel from city to city, each with its own levels, characters, and charm.

 

 

  • Play seating matchmaker to please picky characters.
  • Discover each character’s unique traits—relatable, outlandish, and everything in between.
  • Piece together satisfying puzzles with no timers or leaderboards.
  • Unlock fun new scenarios as you progress—from bus rides to banquets!

Is This Seat Taken? is a charming series of logic puzzles with a serene soundtrack and a fun story to follow. It's brilliantly designed for short sessions and adds just enough to keep the experience fresh through the end. It's not a long journey, but it's one that's worth sitting down to appreciate.

This game loves you <3

It's a fun and extremely cozy puzzle game where you have to place "people" in the right spots, according to their needs and preferences. Here you don't need a keyboard for the most part, you can play this game with only your mouse (or maybe your gamepad). The graphics and animations are just so nice to look at and the gameplay feels great. I can only recommend this to people of any age. It's just cute :)
