June 11, 2024 – PlayStation has announced that “Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure” will be available on PS5 starting July 25, 2024. The game, developed by indie studio Furniture & Mattress, features a unique mix of puzzle-solving, adventure, and role-playing elements.
“Arranger” tells the story of Jemma, a small-town misfit embarking on a journey of self-discovery. She leaves her comfortable home to explore a world full of both wonder and fear, dominated by a mysterious, static force. Players will guide Jemma through various challenges as she attempts to disrupt a culture of stagnation and find her place in the world.
The gameтАЩs core mechanic revolves around a grid-based system. When Jemma moves, the entire row or column of tiles she is on shifts with her, turning movement into a series of spatial puzzles. This creates a dynamic environment where exploration and problem-solving are closely intertwinedтАЛтАЛ.
Features and Development
“Arranger” combines several genres into a single experience. The game is not just a series of puzzles but also a visual novel and comic book, brought to life with expressive art by David Hellman, known for his work on “Braid”. The writing is handled by Nick Suttner, who previously worked on “Carto”, and the soundtrack is composed by Tomas Batista, known for “Per Aspera”тАЛ.
Key features of “Arranger” include:
- An interconnected gameplay grid that unites movement, exploration, and combat.
- A story-driven adventure about personal growth and overcoming fear.
- A unique RPG experience without traditional XP or inventory systems.
- An 8-10 hour campaign with various assist options to cater to different player preferencesтАЛ.
