Constance

Gameplay Constance is not your typical Adventure RPG. Developed and published by btf, the game is a cerebral experience that discards combat in favor of brain-tingling puzzles. You step into the shoes of Constance, an inquisitive cartographer whose primary tools are logic and observation. The game is anchored in its intricate puzzle design where each solved mystery alters the landscape of both the map and the narrative. The game mechanics revolve around using an upgradable notebook and tools to decode environmental sigils and patterns. These puzzles are not isolated; solving one can ripple across the game world, affecting other locations and systems. It's a game that demands deduction, experimentation, and a keen eye for detail.

Story & Setting The narrative unfolds in a half-remembered town, where Constance is trapped. As you explore locales like the Orison Library and Saltworks, the game's story emerges through environmental storytelling. Each puzzle you solve unveils narrative fragments, piecing together the larger mystery of the world and Constance's place within it. The game is deliberately paced, encouraging players to immerse themselves in the atmospheric setting and reward patience with a richly woven story.
