Play Overview
Harmony's Odyssey (2022) is a puzzle game where you solve mixed up mythical dioramas full of riddles, creatures and magic. Play is simply a matter of selecting and moving the sliding pieces, but there are clever clues in the fantasy world to see how they fit together. It stands out both for the whimsical settings that grow as you progress and for the super simple puzzle action - not least the fantastic spot the difference mini-games.
It's a whole collection of puzzles that takes on you an adventurous odyssey through mythical lands. As you progress the rearranging is combined with new mechanics and interactive features. This includes abilities like a magic wand to suggest your next move. Or there's the ability to slide groups of tiles together. Although they are essentially puzzles to solve, each scene is a diverse, unique miniature universe of its own.
Along the way you also piece together the various mysteries. You meet a wide cast of curious creatures who not only bring the scenes to life, but offer clues of how to solve them or have specific tasks for you to complete. On occasion there are some fun mini-games like spot-the-difference.
The result is an approachable puzzle game with a surprisingly amount of narrative and depth. With over 100 puzzles to solve there's plenty to keep you occupied. Best of all is how these scenes combine in the eight different biomes to sketch a story of what fantasy life is like in each of them.
Out on Switch and PC first then Xbox and PlayStation at a later date.
