Narrative puzzle platformer Puzzles for Clef will launch for PC via Steam on July 27, followed by Switch later in 2023, publisher Freedom Games and developer Weasel Token announced.
“Our development sessions for Puzzles for Clef have also acted as reminders to pay attention to our mental health in the face of such tensions in our country [Ukraine] and the world,” said Weasel Token founder Alexander Molodkin in a press release. “We hope our audience takes the time exploring the island as a way to take in a deep breath and relax. Everyone needs to look after their mental health sometimes, and we’d like to believe we’ve created an outlet as healing for our community as it has been for us.”
Follow the call for family as Clef, an inquisitive bunny presented with a winding, puzzle-filled mission from her sister, Cres. Follow Cres’ map across the enchanting island Clef’s ancestors once called home, solving intricate puzzles to unearth treasures and illuminating secrets about Clef’s familial history. Encounter the island’s whimsical denizens, from an artisan blue-footed booby to a towering mechanical dragon, and fulfill their wishes along the way.
Tour the island and admire beautiful sceneries of lush bamboo forests, crystalline caves, and magnificent clock towers hiding cipher codes and byzantine secrets behind every corner. Piece together every detail to uncover the paramount mystery that lies in Clef’s path. Every riddle and island inhabitant holds important clues worthy of deep investigation.
Carefully search every nook and cranny for energy crystals of lumenium and tonitrum to restore bell shrines across the island. Bask in the bells’ peaceful chimes as they return harmony to each region. Coupled with a magnificent Indie Cup-nominated soundtrack, Clef’s journey becomes a therapeutic experience for the eyes and ears.
