PATCHWORK

Patchwork is a 2D puzzle-adventure game where players explore a seemingly complete world that slowly begins to fall apart. After reaching the end of the map, the player is sent back at the beginning, only to discover missing pieces scattered across the environment. By switching between the Player and the Creator perspective, players must uncover hidden clues, repair broken areas, and restore the world back to its original form.

The gameplay directly reflects the idea that people often fail to see reality as it truly is. During the first exploration, the world appears complete and normal, causing the player to accept everything at face value without questioning it. However, after returning to the beginning, missing paths and structures suddenly disappear, creating the unsettling realization that the world may have always been incomplete. Through the Creator’s perspective, the creator restores parts of the map using clues. This game symbolizes how perception can hide the truth, showing that people often overlook flaws simply because they were not looking closely enough.

Game Concept

The game revolves around two perspectives: the Player, who explores the world, and the Creator, who gathers clues, and repairs the missing parts of the map. The first journey through the map feels normal, but in the second time, it reveals missing structures, paths, and objects. Using the clues collected, the Creator will patch the world to progress through each level.
