’36 apples’ Captures the Calmness of an Interactive Orchard

36 apples is about picking apples, sure, but it also hides many secrets and delightful places among the pieces of fruit you’re out to collect.

You’re on the lookout for apples in this game, and they could be just about anywhere. Yeah, you could start by looking in the trees, but they’re not all just chilling on the tree waiting for you. The orchard is a large place, and they could be near the pond, up a mountain path, or somewhere else in the endless blue world.

Looking around offers a ton of charming little interactions you can play around with. From fiddling with tiny elevators to just walking through the reeds and hurling a stone into a pond, the game aims to hide many simple, yet joyful, things for you to take part in.

36 apples is a soothing game, offering a calm cerulean land for you to lose yourself in for a while. It would be great if you found all of the apples, but the hidden paths of this wonderful orchard make the journey of discovery worth more than the fruit you;re looking for. Not that a juicy apple wouldn’t be nice right now.

36 apples is available now on itch.io.
