Reality is ever shifting and unfolding into new, vibrant places of striking structures and awe-inspiring expanses in Manifold Garden.
The game is a puzzle to be solved, a garden to be tended, and a lost wood to explore as you savor the splendor of the visions before you. It’s a place where building bend in on themselves in surreal ways, always giving way to further visual delights. You can shift your perspective by controlling gravity, walking on any surface you like, which only opens up more ways to view this world, and more ways in which it can all turn in a single change of perspective.
Yes, you’ll be working to figure out how to make mechanisms activate, and that puzzle-solving is pleasing, but it’s what comes from these puzzles that is a reward into itself. It’s not that progress is a goal in and of itself, but that this progress makes this world reshape itself yet again, building wonders of architecture before you eyes. Your play helps make this place become even more beautiful, offering a reward for your creativity and curiosity.
Manifold Garden is a captivating experience in giving yourself over to wonder, and in looking at the world with a new curiosity. Its ability to hide further incredible things just around a corner – to bury visual treasures some place where it should be physically impossible to hide them – teaches you to look at the world with wonder in your heart again.
Manifold Garden is available now on Apple Arcade and the Epic Store. It is coming soon to PS4 and Steam.
