Architect is a creative sandbox game offering a unique experience that is simultaneously comforting and challenging. It's hard to describe, and it's probably best if you just try it, but the gist is that you are building impossible structures a la Escher. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you see how it works you get to enjoy this weird mind-expanding exploration. You can see the passion of the developer in this game, from the general concept to the experiential touches like the ambient music, the cursor, the intuitive controls, and the ability to control every aspect of your Architect experience.

About This Game
Architect is a relaxing game where you build interesting scenes out of impossible geometry inspired by Monument Valley, M.C. Escher, and Oskar Reutersvard. Build mind-bending structures and populate them with interesting embellishments, one side at a time.
You can aim for a high score by placing details next to those of a similar type or just sit back and make a masterwork of twisting perception. The sandbox of Architect is yours to explore and transform. In a way, you could think of it like a tool to make your own desktop backgrounds, miniature worlds, or even art prints!
Architect is meant to be played as a slow paced, meditative, and artistic experience. Your only goal is to construct a spaaace that defies the expectations of our reality.

we do a little doodling, im a doodler man this is me when i doodle we doodle up in this mf take your sensitive ass back to scribblenauts
Cute little art sim, making abstract art with simple, straightforward controls allowing you to make big abstract anime titties
With no objective and clean minimal graphics this game is entirely what you make of it. I easily killed an hour at a coffee shop playing this game with a podcast in the background. Making mind bending shapes in Architect is surprisingly easy, and once you know the rules its fun to break them. The controls are intuitive enough for anyone to pick up, but can be confusing at times. The simplicity of this game is both its strength and its weakness. I found this game very relaxing and meditative, and enjoyed simply watching the little characters wander around my impossible structures.
An interesting creative tool and an unapologetically minimalist experience. The music is decent and the graphics have an enchanting atmosphere, especially the animated decorations. It's simple and easy to control and make interesting structures. There's a few important features I'd like to see added, such as scrolling around the scene, occluding decorations with tiles, and perhaps being able to use at two or more different colors in the same scene. Overall, if you like sandbox games as creative tools, and even if you aren't a creative genius, you might enjoy making art with this game.
Its great to just relax and be creative for a little while, the shapes were helpful to get started and then once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun to try and create my own structures, gives dorfromantik vibes but is more open.
A fun game that exercises the mind. I recommend
Architect is a chill game that anyone can vibe in and make really cool shapes. Its really calming and soothing. The little animations add a nice touch. Also devs fix bugs fast <3
Architect is a game that will pleasantly surprise you with its strangely soothing gameplay experience. As you begin your architectural journey, you'll find yourself immersed in a world of tranquil colors and serene soundscapes. It's like diving into a pool of warm water, only to discover that the water is made of fluffy clouds. While most games are filled with action and adrenaline, Architect takes a different approach. You won't find any epic battles or heart-pumping challenges here. Instead, you'll spend your time carefully placing blocks and constructing buildings, taking in the peaceful surroundings as you do. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock new materials and tools, allowing you to create even more intricate structures. But don't let the complexity of your creations stress you out. With each new design, you'll feel a sense of calm accomplishment, like you've just finished a challenging puzzle. Overall, Architect is a game that defies convention. It's weirdly peac...
I like the sound design/effects a lot, especially when you poke the little guys hehe
