Hoa (2021)

Painted leaves, roots and small woodland inhabitants turn this 2D puzzle-platformer into an intimate journey through oversized nature. The appeal is the way a little figure moves within those layered landscapes, making a leaf or creature part of a route rather than a decorative border. Choose the original 2021 Hoa for this presentation; the sequel develops a different 3D format. It suits patient observation and light exploration puzzles more than open-ended wandering.
