The Gardens Between is a single-player adventure-puzzle game about time, memory and friendship.

Best friends Arina and Frendt fall into a series of vibrant, dreamlike island gardens peppered with everyday objects from their childhood. Together they embark on an emotional journey that examines the significance of their friendship: the memories they’ve built, what must be let go, and what should never be left behind.

Lost in a mysterious realm where cause and effect are malleable, the friends find that time flows in all directions. Manipulate time to solve puzzles and reach the apex of each isle. Follow the duo as they unpack and explore their significant moments spent together, lighting up constellations and illuminating threads of a bittersweet narrative.

There is a lot of graphics without a lot of game play. Good for children if it can keep their attention with the slow controls. A for effort for trying to do something different. Unless it rapidly started to get more involved other than combinations of when the light should be moved by the box or the girl it doesn't interest me as an adult, I don't know how you'll keep a child interested. Other than maybe the goofy dream-like atmosphere... good luck on that.

It's a great game that uses time to help you complete your journey but I had to cut short and delete it because after about 10 or 12 lvls there is a very short lvl that's just impossible to complete and I don't give up easy there's soup tins or cans of pop or whatever and there's not enough to get both of you across no matter what I did I failed.

Wow! What an experience, actually said "I'll miss you" accidentally as I watched the end, felt nostalgic for my own memories of lost friends and adventures we went on, especially my brother Matthew who I lost. The last song really rams home the meaning behind the story too, really well done. The mechanics itself were interesting if not strange at first but quickly became clever and challenging. Wanna thank you guys if ya ever read this Voxel Agents, didn't know what I was getting into but thanks
