"Play" now only means playable
Titles you can't play yet say "Visit" instead of "Play", so the button never overpromises.
Site Updates
What shipped on this site
thenerdybox.com deploys the moment a change merges to main — no release train, no waiting window. This is the real history of that, not a game’s changelog: none of our five titles has a public version history yet. The tools we build do — SignalBox keeps its own.

Want a version history for something we make?
None of our five titles has one yet — playtest builds get announced in Discord as they land. The tools do: SignalBox, an OBS plugin that keeps your Twitch category matching the game you’re playing, keeps a real changelog while it’s being built.
