Assemble With Care is free-to-start with no ads. Play the opening chapters for free, and unlock the rest of the story with a single in-app purchase. From the studio that brought you Monument Valley, comes a story about taking things apart and putting ourselves back together. When Maria, a globe-trotting antique restorer, arrives in the sun-soaked town of Bellariva, she has no idea just how broken it will turn out to be. She wants nothing more than to help the town’s inhabitants save their most beloved possessions, but when it’s their personal lives that are starting to fracture, she’ll need to find a way to hold them together, one spare screw at a time. MEANINGFUL PUZZLES: Explore the objects through Maria’s eyes and find a way to restore them. EVOCATIVE STORY: Meet the townsfolk of Bellariva. Come to love their quirks and help them reconnect. NOSTALGIC CHARM: Rediscover the defining objects of decades past to the tune of the original soundtrack, inspired by the sounds of the 80s. HANDCRAFTED VISUALS: Enjoy gameplay rendered in a beautiful, impressionist style, alongside a completely hand-illustrated story
