The Architect is a labyrinth/puzzle game where you have to exit the labyrinth by changing it around you. The player assumes control of a mysterious, yet insignificant tiny object. Every move must be carefully planned and double-checked, because once it is made there might be no turning back.

It sure does look flashy, and the music sounds pretty good giving the game a tense feeling. It may look simple, but the game offers up an enthralling storyline about a parallel universe.

You can grab a copy of the beta yourself from Itch.io right here. So, ponder no more! Grab it, play it and tell us what you think!

My Thoughts
The game is built in Unity, so it will work as well as any other Unity game, although in this case I didn't have any mouse issues, which is awesome (quite a few games suffer bad mouse issues when made in Unity).

The game isn't easy which is a good thing, too many puzzle games are far too easy and just aren't a challenge, this one seems different and offers up a decent enough challenge to keep you interested.

While it does give you hints on what to do, by the second level you are pretty much left on your own and it can take a while. Take your time!
