The Valley of the Architects is a building-based puzzler set to release in March

Get ready for an enthralling experience with The Valley of the Architects, an upcoming iOS puzzler slated for release this March. As we previously explored, this narrative puzzle adventure promises to captivate players with its unique blend of storytelling and gameplay. If you were intrigued by our initial coverage, you'll be pleased to know that the wait is almost over.

In The Valley of the Architects, you step into the shoes of Liz, a writer embarking on a journey to Africa. Her mission? To unravel the enigmatic designs left by the legendary Lost Architect. As Liz, you'll navigate through a series of elevator-based puzzles, piecing together the architect's mysteries and uncovering a deep narrative. Liz's journey is brought to life through her own narration, immersing you fully in her adventure.

Our very own Catherine was effusive in her praise when we first covered this game, and it's easy to see why. The Valley of the Architects masterfully combines the joy of puzzle-solving with a fully voice-acted story, allowing you to experience the tale from Liz's perspective. This rare combination adds a layer of depth and engagement that's hard to find elsewhere.

Catherine's enthusiasm for The Valley of the Architects is understandable. Puzzlers that focus on a single core mechanic, like elevator puzzles, and offer diverse challenges within that framework tend to be more fluid and enjoyable. However, there's a potential caveat: the game's visual style. While the buildings are beautifully detailed, they might appear somewhat small even on a PC screen. Nevertheless, many of you are likely eager to dive into this experience when it launches on iOS and Steam in March.
