It had to be done in a specific way and sequence to take advantage of their individual gravities. There was one particularly devilish puzzle where I had to use several different cubes to hold a single, vital cube in place. Things that weren’t immediately obvious, like understanding that the gravity of one block can be used to stop another from falling in order to trigger a seemingly impossible switch, went from edge-of-the-brain concepts to be instinctual. Towards the end of the game, I could rapidly make these changes I could almost hear the click in my brain when everything started to become intuitive and second nature. I found that the more I came to understand the concepts, the less this happened, as my mind stopped fighting what it was seeing. It takes a while to adjust to the changes in orientation, so for the first few hours, I often found myself getting lost and even feeling a little nauseous and headachy (though it's worth noting that there are settings to adjust field-of-view, which helps). Add stairs going in different directions, switch combinations, and staggered environments, and even these relatively basic puzzles take some mind-bending to get accustomed to, which makes for further payoff when solutions come. It doesn't take long to discover these colours are also relevant to their own personal gravity and as such, cubes can only be moved when the world is in that orientation. To start, there are colour-coded cubes which need to be placed on switches to open doors or other mechanisms.

It is an Escher-inspired fever dream of a game-you have the ability to allocate gravity to any side of an environment at any time, and it's surprising just how many different puzzles the game manages to pull from this concept, with new elements gradually being introduced at just the right pace to grant further complexity without being completely daunting. Welcome to the Manifold Garden, a game where you need to prepare to have your mind warped by the beauty of repetition and some seriously impressive puzzles. PS4™ game disc owners who buy the PS5™ Digital Edition disc-free console will not be able to get the PS5™ version at no extra cost.You stand in a room and the floor is the ceiling, or maybe it's the other way around? No, everything is the floor and you're falling through infinity. Owners of a PS4™ disc copy must insert it into the PS5™ every time they want to download or play the PS5™ digital version. If you already own the PS4™ version of this game, you can get the PS5™ digital version at no extra cost and you do not need to purchase this product. This product entitles you to download both the digital PS4™ version and the digital PS5™ version of this game. “Manifold Garden is a feast for the eyes and the mind” - GameSpot “A beautiful meditation on the human brain, nature, mathematics, time, space and creation.” - EDGE It was selected as one of the New Yorker’s best games of 2019, and was one of the Design Museum's Designs of the Year for 2020.

Manifold Garden has been nominated for several awards, including “Best Debut” from the Game Developers Choice Awards and the BAFTA Awards.

Explore expansive architectural structures that repeat infinitely.

Manipulate gravity to gain new perspectives and walk on any surface.

A beautiful world filled with mind-bending puzzles.

Master the rules of the universe and restore a barren world with vegetation and life. Manipulate gravity to change your perspective and see the world in new ways. Geometry repeats infinitely in every direction, and falling down leads you back to where you started. Rediscover gravity and explore a beautiful Escher-esque world of impossible architecture. Manifold Garden is a game that reimagines the laws of physics.
