Abigail

Abigail’s been magically yanked back to Kiln Bay, the town she grew up in, with only five days before her flight home to the big city. That’s not much time to sort out old friendships, awkward exes and unfinished business, but she’s going to give it a go.

What really sets this one apart is the look. The whole world was captured using photogrammetry, but instead of real streets and buildings, everything’s made from felt, clay and cardboard. You’ll spot pipe cleaners, glitter glue and buttons scattered about if you keep an eye out, and it gives the place this warm, handmade feel that suits the story perfectly.

Along the way you’ll collect azulejo tiles that hold little pieces of Kiln Bay’s memories, and play a puzzle game of the same name where the rules shift depending on which neighbourhood you’re in. There’s even a faster, punchier variant called Power Azulejo that’s apparently caused a bit of a stir among the locals. But the heart of the game is Abigail herself, and the choices you make about old flames and old wounds will shape how she feels about home by the time she leaves.
