Noodlecake and Lucid Labs have announced the relaunch of Possessions on iOS and Android following its exclusive run on Apple Arcade. This game invites players to view everyday items with a fresh perspective through minimalist 3D puzzles that challenge you to shift things around to solve each level. The game features charming dioramas of a family's possessions, with a narrative that unfolds subtly as you progress, all without the need for any dialogue.
The beauty of wordless experiences like Possessions lies in their ability to convey stories effectively, and this game masterfully uses this approach. Players will need to rotate scenes to correctly position items, such as a disarrayed photo frame or a hanging cupboard door. Keeping your spatial awareness sharp is key, and if you find yourself getting frustrated, the game's soothing soundscape can help keep negative thoughts at bay.
A new AR mode allows players to physically move around rooms to explore different levels. However, it's wise to be cautious when playing in public spaces to avoid unintended intrusions or startling bystanders.
