Application Description

In the heart of the sun-drenched town of Bellariva, a new chapter begins with the arrival of Maria, an antique restorer with a passion for piecing together the broken fragments of the past. "Repair old-school objects in this cozy puzzle game," she muses, as she embarks on a journey that transcends mere restoration—it's about helping the townsfolk reconnect with themselves and each other.

Through Maria's eyes, players explore a series of meaningful puzzles, each object a story waiting to be told and restored. "Feels perfect for mobile," The Verge praises, capturing the essence of Maria's tactile journey through the tangible joys of fixing what's broken. As noted by Gamesradar, it's "a tactile and touching experience," where the act of repair becomes a metaphor for healing and connection.

Maria's journey through Bellariva is an evocative story of human connection. Meeting the townsfolk, players come to love their quirks and witness the beauty of their stories unfolding. Eurogamer celebrates the game as "a study in the wordless pleasure of fixing stuff ... it really sings," emphasizing the silent yet profound communication between Maria and the residents she helps.

The nostalgic charm of the game is undeniable, with players rediscovering the defining objects of decades past, all set to an original soundtrack inspired by the sounds of the 80s. Touch Arcade hails it as "a game to show how games are an art form," highlighting the way the game weaves nostalgia and art into its very fabric.

The handcrafted visuals are a testament to the game's artistic vision, rendered in a beautiful, impressionist style that complements the completely hand-illustrated story. Each puzzle solved and object restored not only brings Maria closer to the heart of Bellariva but also invites players into a world where taking things apart and putting ourselves back together is an art form in itself.
