Tiny Lands Has Big Potential, And It's Out This Week

Completed in a matter of months (how!?), Tiny Lands is a new title from Hyper Three Studio and Maple Whispering which offers a twist on the common ‘spot the difference’ title that is becoming more prominent with Hidden Folks and similar.

Unlike the flat Where’s Wally? type aesthetic, Tiny Lands is a low-poly isometric experience in 3D and fully rotatable puzzle, so that you can delve deep into the settings.

Key (unique) features include:

• Change the way you look at things – You play in a 3D environment, which means you can interact with the scene to adjust the angle and zoom your view.
• Bring scenes to life with dynamic objects – You will experience a changing aura with fire, rain, thunder, snow, and wind. It all adds a lot of charm to the scenery.
• Experience many different environments – When you play on a beach scene, you can hear the sounds of waves and listen to how seagulls sing… It’s very refreshing…
• Relax and have fun at your own tempo – There is no time limit, so you don’t have to worry about how long you spend in a level. Set your favorite lo-fi music and play at your own pace.
• Take it easy – Anyone can make mistakes, right? That’s why there is no punishment for that. Grab a cup of coffee on a rainy day and just chill out 🙂

Here’s the announcement trailer:

Tiny Lands is available for Steam on the 22nd of January, with a Nintendo Switch version to follow. While there’s no release date confirmed for the latter, it will be the same as the Steam version at $6.99 with a 10% launch discount. A review will follow on launch (or thereabouts).
