In this game, you’ll tackle intriguing elevator puzzles, navigate through tough trials, and finish tasks left by the enigmatic Architect Q. Being an enthusiast of architectural designs as showcased in Architectural Digest, I am drawn to it. The game offers stunning visuals, immersive worlds, a fully narrated storyline, and much more.

The puzzles evolve and grow more challenging as you progress

Nevertheless, I’d prefer if it were arranged horizontally instead of being tall. Intriguingly, the narrative starts at the last pages of the Architectural Abstract magazine, but transforms into something entirely different as the game unfolds.

Although I harbor some reservations regarding the title, my interest is piqued and I’m eager to give it a go. I have a strong feeling it will live up to expectations, offering puzzles that adapt dynamically as you progress, gradually intensifying the challenge while the underlying rules shift to challenge your problem-solving abilities.

On March 7, 2025, The Valley of the Architects will debut on iOS! According to the app store listing, the game costs $3.99. If you’re intrigued by this game, why not pre-order it now through the App Store? At the moment, there’s no word about an Android release, though that was also the case for their last title. So, stay tuned for any updates regarding a potential Android launch.
