Townframe

Developer:

Release Date:
8 October 2024

A relaxing puzzle game where you recreate towns from people’s memories. These people will give you written puzzles and to solve them you’ll be able to either modify the buildings or use different tools, such as one that makes wind, and many others. Each puzzle will surprise you in a different way.

Townframe is an incredibly lo-fi, chill game that allows you to solve the puzzles of friendly folks hometowns or favourite locations based on the clues that they share with you. You begin with a landscape acting as your canvas. It is your job to recreate their memories by placing the correct buildings or objects in the correct places, allowing a nostalgic glimpse into their past.

The game couldn’t be simpler to pick up, offering a point and click interface. There is no need for any extended tutorials as the game is self explanatory and the UI is as clear as it is pleasing. The soothing music is complemented by the pastel colour palette. It is bright but never harsh maintaining the soft, airy aesthetic throughout.

This not going to be a long game. The demo included 8 puzzles which took 15 minutes to complete, with no indication of how much more complexity to expect. For now, it feels like it is going to be a lovely, short puzzle game for a rainy day or for winding down for bed. I am thoroughly charmed and wish all of the best for the release!
