Get ready for an immersive puzzle experience with *The Valley of the Architects*, an eagerly anticipated elevator-based puzzler set to launch on iOS and Steam this March. If you caught our earlier coverage, you'll know we're excited about the narrative puzzle adventure this game promises to deliver. The wait is almost over, as the release date approaches swiftly.
In *The Valley of the Architects*, you step into the shoes of Liz, a writer who embarks on a journey to Africa to unravel the enigmas left by the enigmatic Lost Architect. As Liz, you'll navigate through a series of elevator puzzles, piecing together the story behind the architect's designs. The game features a fully voice-acted narrative, allowing you to dive deep into Liz's perspective as she uncovers the truth.
Our editor, Catherine, was highly enthusiastic about this upcoming release, and it's easy to see why. The game masterfully blends the joy of puzzle-solving with the rarity of a fully voice-acted storyline, making for a captivating experience.
The appeal of *The Valley of the Architects* is clear: it focuses on a single core mechanic—elevator puzzles—and offers varied and engaging challenges throughout. Puzzlers that refine and expand upon one concept tend to be more enjoyable and cohesive than those that try to include a bit of everything.
However, one potential concern is the visual aspect. While the game boasts beautifully detailed buildings, they appear somewhat small even on a PC screen. Despite this, there's no doubt that many of you are eager to dive in when it becomes available on iOS and Steam in March.
