Get ready for an intriguing journey with The Valley of the Architects, an upcoming elevator-based puzzler set to launch this March. This narrative-driven puzzle adventure, which we previously covered, promises to captivate players with its unique blend of mystery and storytelling.
In The Valley of the Architects, you step into the shoes of Liz, a writer on a quest to Africa to unravel the enigmatic designs of the titular Lost Architect. As Liz, you'll navigate through a series of elevator puzzles, piecing together the architect's secrets while experiencing her journey through her own narration.
Our initial coverage highlighted the game's appeal, and it's easy to see why. The Valley of the Architects masterfully combines the joy of puzzle-solving with a fully voice-acted storyline, allowing players to immerse themselves in Liz's perspective.
The game's focus on a single core mechanic—elevator puzzles—promises a fluid and engaging experience. Each puzzle offers a fresh twist, keeping the gameplay dynamic and enjoyable. However, the visual design might be a slight concern; while the buildings are gorgeously detailed, they appear somewhat small even on a PC screen. Despite this, anticipation is high for its release on iOS and Steam in March.
