About
MAQUETTE is a first-person recursive puzzle game that takes you into a world where every building, plant, and object are simultaneously tiny and staggeringly huge.
Story
A person relives the arc of a past romance between Michael and Kenzie, moving through the memories of how they met, fell in love, and slowly drifted apart. The world is recursive: at the heart of each place sits a table holding a miniature version of the surroundings, and any object placed on it is mirrored at full scale in the world beyond. Through scattered notes and voiced recollections, the player pieces together the couple's story while using the nesting of large and small to find a way forward.
What is happening now
Maquette is a recursive puzzle-adventure that released in 2021 across multiple platforms, built around the core mechanic of manipulating nested, interconnected spaces to solve environmental puzzles. The game established developer Graceful Decay's signature approach to spatial problem-solving. The studio has since moved on to its next project. Graceful Decay and publisher Annapurna Interactive have announced Uncanyon, a puzzle-focused adventure coming to PlayStation 5 in 2027. The new game follows a similar design philosophy centered on puzzles, this time placing players in control of Sonia, a newcomer to the titular setting seeking adventure. While details remain sparse, Uncanyon appears positioned as the natural successor to Maquette's reality-bending approach to game design.
