Get ready for an intriguing journey with "The Valley of the Architects," an upcoming iOS puzzler set to launch this March. Following our initial coverage last week, where we explored the depths of this narrative puzzle adventure, fans won't have to wait much longer to dive into its mysteries.
In "The Valley of the Architects," you step into the shoes of Liz, a writer on a quest in Africa to unravel the enigmas left by the titular lost architect. As Liz, you'll navigate through elevator-based puzzles, piecing together the architect's story through her fully voice-acted narration, adding a rich layer of immersion to your experience.
Our editor, Catherine, was highly enthusiastic about this release during our first look, and it's clear why. The game masterfully blends the joy of puzzle-solving with the unique addition of a fully voice-acted storyline, allowing players to experience the adventure through Liz's eyes.
Catherine's excitement for "The Valley of the Architects" is understandable. Puzzlers that focus on a single core mechanic and offer various twists on it throughout the game often provide a more seamless and enjoyable experience than those that try to include too much.
However, the game's visual style might be a slight concern. Despite featuring beautifully detailed buildings, they appear somewhat small even on a larger screen. Nonetheless, anticipation remains high for its release on iOS and Steam in March.
