Press release:
The Auckland-based (New Zealand) indie games publisher Maple Whispering Limited and Barcelona-based (Spain) indie games developer Hyper Three Studio, are today very happy and thrilled to announce that their cozy 3D puzzle game “The Shape of Things“, is now available for PC via Steam.
The title delivers a relaxing atmosphere from the comfort of your cosy room by solving small 3D puzzles inside collectable gachapons and finding the original shape of things inspired by Rubik’s style.
The game is currently available on Steam, where developers have already built solid trust with players. It’s all thanks to their previous title in the genre, “Tiny Lands”, which currently has 93% of positive reviews on the platform.
“The Shape of Things” brings a similar approach to the graphics design, but it has an entirely fresh idea for the gameplay. It will all become clear when you watch the game’s short trailer, which is something that we invite you warmly to do 🙂
About the game
The Shape of Things takes Rubik’s cube’s basic concept but focuses on real-life objects with a more soothing vibe. Puzzles appear in various combinations. You need to find the correct position for each piece by rotating, panning, or scaling until you find the shape of things.
Just like in real life, mystery worlds are trapped in gachapon, waiting for their release. By solving puzzles, you obtain in-game coins, which can be spent on the gacha machine to unlock your next world.
Key features:
No pressure and no timers. Just chill and progress at your own pace.
Easy to pick up and put down.
Adjust your cosy room mood by changing the weather and the time of the day.
Comfy to play using only 1 hand (The other hand is for a hot drink!)

Play across adorable thematic worlds!
No punishment system. Life is hard enough!
