Pretty much out of nowhere, the award-winning puzzler Manifold Garden has been released on Nintendo Switch.
Described as "a game that reimagines physics and space", Manifold Garden takes you on a first-person adventure to solve physics-defying puzzles. You'll need to cultivate a garden to open new paths and, as you can see for yourself, the whole game boasts a particularly eye-catching art style.
Here's a feature list:
Key Features
- An expansive and visually striking world filled with mind-bending puzzles.
Manipulate gravity to gain new perspectives and walk on any visible surface.
- Experience space in new ways as you explore infinitely repeating Escher-esque architecture.
- The all new Photo Mode -- available now for console launch and as an update to the Epic Game Store and Apple Arcade releases.
The game's available as we speak on the Switch eShop, priced at $19.99 or your local equivalent. For a limited time, you can also benefit from a 10% launch discount, so you might want to jump on this quickly if you're intrigued.
Manifold Garden isn't the only game to receive a surprise launch on Switch today, as management game Spiritfarer was also released following today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase.

With so many games releasing today, I'm not sure if the 10% off is enough to tempt me or if I'll just wish list it and wait for a bigger sale but I'm certainly curious.
This looks veryyyy trippy

Looks like my kinda Indie tbf. Very interesting.
@BenAV Hey! I'm Syrenne, a producer of Manifold Garden. Just to let you know, I wouldn't expect a larger discount (or another discount) in the near future, in case that helps any FOMO. The game launched in October on Epic and I don't believe it's ever gone more than 10% off.
Wow, this might be the most visually appealing game of the Indie World. It got a 7/10 on Push Square and it's 10% off, so I might consider this, the graphics are so cool.
@SyrenneMcN Good to know, thanks.
@SyrenneMcN hey, random consumer of videogames here. Congratulations on the release and well done on making such a cool thing. Hope you find succes on switch
I'll have one, thank you!
@SyrenneMcN Mm, 90% off with in 6 months I’d say. This is the Nintendo Switch eshop after all 😂
I put it on top of my to buy list!
Or is it at the bottom?
Confused...
This reminds me of Monument Valley, but if it were a game loaded into one of those giant cubes like in the Reboot, and then somehow the entire world glitched when it was loaded.
This is a compliment, I think?
@Desrever, just for mentioning Reboot you've earned a like
Looks absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully the gameplay is on a par, but the visuals alone make me want to give it a shot.
I bought this on the Epic store and I haven't played a huge amount yet as I have a massive backlog but it's a very clever game with interesting puzzles and it looks gorgeous.
Needs to be at least 20% off if on sale. 10% might as well be regular price, it's barely a scratch.
I liked it when I played it on Apple Arcade, as it reminded me a lot of The Witness, but got stuck multiple times near the start so much that I kinda lost interest, and I'm usually good at this type of game. But I hope to get back to it at some point, the concept is definitely interesting.
This game looks too much like Ori to me and that game was just alright in my book. Too many trial and error segments that I just assume forget.
I'm really interested in this one. I read something from a review about performance problems on PC. Hopefully this runs at least locked to 30fps on Switch. If it was locked to 60fps I'd be super excited. Also, the reviews and comments I've read make it sound like a really well made and original 3D puzzle game. Super intrigued!
@SyrenneMcN Your game is very striking and certainly stood out in today's presentation. I was wondering about your team's inspirations - are they more artistic (i.e. thanks be to Escher) or scientific? The gameplay conceit of falling onto identical structures reminded me of closed universes and topology...
May your sales be as manifold as your garden!
That looks like my favorite stage of REZ.
Which is a good thing.
@SyrenneMcN Hey, cool that you post here, and also cool that you helped making a unique game instead going the play-it-save route.
@SyrenneMcN do you have any plans for a physical release? I’d love having this one
congrats for the game. looks amazing love this kind of game like monument valley, the bridge or echochrome.
Ahhhh jeez, this looks like a must-purchase for me.
Looks interesting.
