Manifold Garden is a surreal first‑person puzzle game developed by William Chyr Studio that invites players to explore a stunning, mind‑bending universe where the laws of physics don’t follow the usual rules. In this abstract world, geometry repeats infinitely in all directions, creating impossible architectural spaces inspired by M.C. Escher’s surreal designs. As you navigate towering structures and gravity‑defying environments, the goal is to solve a variety of physics‑based puzzles by manipulating gravity and perspective to uncover hidden paths and restore life to a barren world.
The core mechanic lets you change the direction of gravity on any surface, turning walls into floors and opening up new ways to traverse the landscape. These gravity shifts are essential not just for movement but also for solving intricate spatial puzzles that challenge your understanding of space and orientation. As you progress, vibrant vegetation begins to grow, bringing color and life back into the stark world and rewarding clever solutions with visual and narrative progression. Manifold Garden has been praised for its hypnotic atmosphere, clever puzzle design, and artistic brilliance, making it a captivating experience for players who enjoy cerebral and exploratory gameplay.
