Patterned is a unique puzzle game that immerses you in the beauty and joy of seamless, repeating patterns. Each pattern begins as a sketch and you must use visual clues to reassemble its scrambled pieces. Piece by piece, each pattern begins to come alive in increasing amounts of color and structure. When the final piece is placed, the pattern fills the screen in full color. Inspired by jigsaw puzzles, but with a unique twist… In Patterned, your objective is to rebuild a scrambled pattern tile that is seamlessly repeating across the screen. As you place pieces you’ll quickly discover that the puzzle’s edges are repeated on the other side. Use these visual clues to help solve each puzzle! Beautiful music… Relax, zone out and play at your own pace as a peaceful music soundtrack accompanies gameplay. Patterned features well over 6 hours of music in both piano and ambient styles, by over 10 well-known musicial composers including Dear Gravity, Be Still the Earth, Antarctic Wastelands and many more.
