Description
Apple "Mac Game of Year" 2018
Apple Design Award Winner 2019
The Gardens Between is a single-player adventure-puzzle game about time, memory and friendship.
Best friends Arina and Frendt fall into a series of vibrant, dreamlike island gardens peppered with everyday objects from their childhood. Together they embark on an emotional journey that examines the significance of their friendship: the memories they’ve built, what must be let go, and what should never be left behind.
Lost in a mysterious realm where cause and effect are malleable, the friends find that time flows in all directions. Manipulate time to solve puzzles and reach the apex of each isle. Follow the duo as they unpack and explore their significant moments spent together, lighting up constellations and illuminating threads of a bittersweet narrative.

Ratings and Reviews
Wonderful Story-driven Game!
Beautiful game, poignant story! The puzzles were were different, and not overly complex, but enjoyable to figure out and perfectly suited to the style and atmosphere of the game. (Had they been harder, it would have been less enjoyable, in my opinion.)
The price was bit more than I would normally pay for a game of this length (hence the 4 stars), but still worth it, in my opinion.
Expensive But Maybe Worth It
Unfortunately this game is pretty pricey but I’m hoping the developers have created a game that is just as fun to play as it is beautiful to look at. Learning curve is non-existent as you easily find your way around. I’ll get back with you as things evolve! I’ve given the rating 4 stars hoping I will eventually give it a five. Stay tuned!
I GET IT AND I LOVE IT
Shoutout to the creator. This game is beautiful. Played this off some shroomies and I definitely get it.
