Where Cards Fall is a slice of life puzzle game where you build houses of cards to bring formative memories to life. — dpa

Architecture is shuffled and folded to heighten a sense of fragility in Where Cards Fall, a puzzle game based on vignettes. The look is alternately realistic – we see glimpses of a home, a community and friendships – and abstract, where some moments are dreamscapes that explore life passions.

Each one of its challenges feels a bit like a song, since Where Cards Fall presents us with a character and a life and then leaves plenty open to interpretation. No puzzle should take more than a few minutes, and they're stitched together with narrative bridges that give us glimpses into someone's home and work over a lifetime. While it's far from a visual album such as Sayonara Wild Hearts, a game that feels like an experimental music video, there's something visually and playfully lyrical about Where Cards Fall.
