Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is an artfully cool experience + Gameplay!

By the way, before I get started... I have to shout out Epic Games and the new cooperation w/ SDGT!

Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure, is a puzzle adventure game developed by Furniture & Mattress. Even I had to double check the name of this developer, love the lighthearted comical approach to the name. Then again, if the game studio is located above a furniture store... that would be quite interesting.

Anyway, Arranger... follows the story of Jemma, a small-town misfit on a journey of self-discovery. She ventures beyond her cozy confines to find an inspiring world, but also one ruled by fear and a strange, immovable ‘static’ force. The gameplay takes place on a unique, interconnected grid that unites movement, exploration, and combat and it's simple on the surface... but don't get it twisted, it's a challenging puzzler.

As Jemma moves, anything on the same row or column moves with her (as seen in the gameplay below), creating a playful sense of chaos and interesting puzzles. So you will have to figure things out by way of the grid-based movement system. The game is designed to be an easy to play RPG. You won't find XP or inventory management here, focusing instead on in-world interactions. The story-driven adventure aims to disrupt a culture of stagnation and help Jemma find her place in the world.


Outside of the gameplay, I love the artwork. It's always great to see games showcasing illustrations, and this game has art throughout. It's colorful and works well with the simple yet complex gameplay. It feels like it's straight out of a whimsical storybook or a comic strip with a lot more depth than those I'm use to. Looking at the art style and how simple + inviting the game is... I feel like this would be a challenging cozy couch title that people of all ages can enjoy, and since it's rated E... your younglings should be good to go! Arranging: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is available now!
