Solve The Shape Of Things In Your Happy Place This Month
When ‘Rubik’s cube’ shows up in the press info for The Shape of Things, alongside ‘No punishment system’, one has to think whether this is some bastardisation of an oxymoron? A Rubik’s cube is punishing, right?
Ok, so I’ve finally completed one in the past couple of years (finally), but it wouldn’t be my go-to activity to chill. This wording intrigued me, so watching the trailer for Hyper Three Studio’s latest title was a pleasant surprise. Anyone into A Little To The Left, or perhaps Tiny Lands (by the same developer as this), should love it.
The Shape of Things is a 3D puzzle game about problem-solving objects, putting them in the correct order, but with a chill vibe. Rotate, pan and scale items until you… find the shape of things. Key features?
- No pressure and no timers. Just chill and progress at your own pace.
- Easy to pick up and put down.
- Adjust your cosy room mood by changing the weather and the time of the day.
- Comfy to play using only 1 hand (The other hand is for a hot drink!)
- Pleasing sound effects and atmosphere.
- Original soothing background music.
- Good for just chatting and streaming with your community!
- Play across adorable thematic worlds!
- No punishment system. Life is hard enough!
Check out the trailer:
The Shape of Things will be available on Steam from the 26th of May, 2023, and it’s one you should wishlist if you like similar titles.
