Description
Staff note: A highly anticipated Playdate game with beautifully designed 3D puzzles and great uses of the crank and accelerometer. Addictive and a must play! After a strange accident, you’ll travel across the world to uncover a mysterious force that is manipulating structures and the people around them. As you explore, you’ll find new ways to solve puzzles, and free each island from the signals controlling it. Diora also includes the Construct, a fully fledged level editor.
