The narrative point-and-click adventure Reviver finally has an official release date: January 21st, according to its iOS listing. This intriguing title lets you subtly alter the lives of two star-crossed lovers, witnessing the ripple effects of your tiny actions.
We’ve previously covered Reviver, highlighting its upcoming release and store listings. Developer CottonGame is almost keeping to its proposed winter release, launching on January 21st.
Reviver offers a unique romantic narrative. You play as a sort of observer, a butterfly witnessing the lives of two lovers destined for separation. By making small changes within the confines of a single room, you attempt to rewrite their fate and bring them together.
A Butterfly's Effect
While Reviver might not revolutionize mobile gaming, its originality is captivating. The concept of unfolding a love story solely through items found and examined in a single room is experimental and potentially divisive. However, if successful, its evocative nature could surpass more melodramatic titles in the genre.
