Love – A Puzzle Box Filled With Stories appears loads easier than its overwrought title would indicate. I usually get pleasure from a brief little thinker to tinker with, particularly if it’s acquired a narrative to associate with it. Love appears simply up that alley, with its spinning condo flooring that management previous and current till you’ve mounted the mess the characters have made from their relationships. Rocketship Park launched an announcement trailer for this little puzzler on Valentine’s Day nevertheless it’s about extra than simply romantic love, they are saying.
Love appears easy sufficient to fiddle with briefly bursts till you’ve shaken all of the secrets and techniques out of its turning tumbler tenements. Each flooring has one thing happening between the characters and rotating these flooring can change whether or not these issues occurred up to now or current. You’ll transfer these bits round to unravel puzzles and “help your friends resolve their pasts and live their best lives,” Rocketship Park say.
“Love is a game that explores the many kinds of relationships we have in our lives and the heartfelt pangs that come with their absence,” says Rocketship Park’s co-founder Shane McCafferty of their press launch. You’ll use your time and building-shifting magic to shore up the regrets that the occupants have about their relationships.
“In Love, we’re looking to create a very specific, even discordant emotion within our players,” McCafferty says. “We’re not interested in love, so much as the warm corner of sadness that comes with it; the challenge of letting go of our past.” Well it actually doesn’t sound blissful, precisely, however maybe Love is extra like consuming espresso and watching a rainstorm than selecting daisies?
Love – A Puzzle Box Filled With Stories is deliberate for a 2020 launch. You can wishlist it on Steam.
