The Gardens Between (2018) Beyond the Clock

This week on Critical Arcade, Nick and Dave put away their weapons, slow down time, and step into the beautiful, contemplative dreamscape of The Gardens Between. In this surreal puzzle adventure, they join childhood friends Arina and Frendt as they explore a string of mysterious island gardens, each one crafted from fragments of their shared memories. With the power to control time itself, Nick and Dave will have to guide the pair through shifting pathways, manipulate objects frozen in moments, and unlock the quiet stories hidden within the scenery.As they venture deeper into this emotional journey, they’ll encounter oversized swings, glowing lanterns, and long-forgotten treasures from the friends’ past. Why does Dave think every game like this must have some dark twist at the end? And can Nick put on monetary value to the warm fuzzies this game give you? Hosted on Acast.
