When I first saw this game on the App Store I thought “oh boy, another match three”. But something about it caught my eye. It just seemed… different. I am so so glad I took that second glance! This is one of the most interesting and thought-provoking experiences I’ve had on the App Store since probably 2014. Let’s be honest, the App Store is incredibly stale. And when you talk about a genre like match three, well that just takes stale to a whole new level.But this is much much more than a matching game. It has to do with love, family, isolation, loneliness, disenchantment, joy, depression, relationships, and oddly enough, futurism. As you can see, the app’s creator bit off a lot to think about, and they handle it all in a beautiful and thought-provoking way giving the player agency to put a piece of themselves into the experience. I feel that there’s a strong undercurrent of philosophy underpinning the game. It’s hard to put my finger on it because I’m still in the process of playing it, but somehow it feels so important. A lot of the interactions you have with other people through text, and the various easter eggs you can find by making random phone calls, have a way of inviting you to reflect on your own life, and your place in the world.If all that seems heavy, don’t worry! It is offset beautifully by just a fun and satisfying match 3 game. It’s the perfect game to bite off in 20 minute chunks day after day. There’s also a strong air of mystery that makes you feel like you are unraveling a story as you play. I really can’t recommend this enough! I’m an avid gamer for 30 years now: coming from someone who has literally seen it all, this one is worth checking out.
