Get ready for an intriguing journey with The Valley of the Architects, an upcoming iOS puzzler set to launch this March. We previously delved into the game last week, offering a sneak peek into what this narrative puzzle adventure brings to the table. If you found yourself captivated by our initial coverage, the wait won't be long as the release date approaches swiftly.
In The Valley of the Architects, you step into the shoes of Liz, a writer who embarks on a quest to Africa, driven by the mystery of the lost architect whose enigmatic designs she seeks to unravel. As Liz, you'll navigate through a series of elevator-based puzzles, piecing together the narrative she uncovers and shares through her journey.
Our editor, Catherine, was notably enthusiastic about this upcoming title, and it's easy to understand her excitement. The game seamlessly blends the joy of puzzle-solving with the rare treat of a fully voice-acted storyline, allowing players to immerse themselves in Liz's perspective throughout the adventure.
An architect's dream
It's clear why Catherine found The Valley of the Architects so compelling. Puzzlers that focus on a single core mechanic and offer varied twists on it tend to provide a more engaging and enjoyable experience than those that overload with features. Yet, while the game boasts beautifully detailed buildings, their small appearance even on a PC screen might be a slight drawback. Nevertheless, many of you are likely eager to dive in when it becomes available on iOS and Steam this March.
