- NEW: Previously unreleased music from the Gardens Between out now! - 1 June 2019
Glowing Pains: Deep Cuts - the second volume of the official soundtrack to The Gardens Between, made by the game’s musician Tim Shiel, is out now! Stream or purchase on Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, Bandcamp. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F27924819%2F403995066f52fe0d7f774d59d98531fbf698bc32.jpg The artist Tim Shiel shared some thoughts about the origins of this album: ‘Deep Cuts’ create the scars that you later cherish from things that might have hurt when you were a kid. Like when you had to say goodbye to that friend, it hurt but now that scar doesn't really hurt any more. It’s just a reminder of something that meant a lot to you. It’s also a subtle reference to a famous song - "the first cut is the deepest" - which is in reference to someone's first love, first heartbreak. But could also refer to those pains / memories you have from childhood…
- The weird and wonderful voids of video games - 8 April 2019
Video game worlds are facades, and sometimes we catch a glimpse of what's beyond. Recently, while exploring one of the intricate levels of Dusk, I somehow managed to slip through the cracks and found myself on the other side of the invisible partition that upholds the illusion of coherent space. I'd entered a world of broken, gravity-defying architecture, and there in the middle of the level had opened a pit that revealed a vast grey void beneath my feet. Close by, there was an exasperated message on the ground: "YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, GO AWAY." Anyone who's spent a lot of time playing games will have their own stories of discovering the cordoned-off spaces behind spaces. We know the strange feeling of clipping through the ground only to plunge into a bottomless void while the level we've been exploring recedes into the distant ether above us; a tiny island unto itself, a dwind…

- The Concepts Between - Art from 4 years of development - 15 February 2019
Who likes art!? We sure do! I was recently having a look through the archives, and boy do we have some treasures to share. I don't want to bore you with words here, a picture tells a thousand of them. In The Gardens Between we let the art tell the story, and that's what I'm going to do below. Enjoy this visual story of several long years of game development. Enjoy! Frustration -> Nightmare https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F27924819%2F1ae3a06485b2d6ff30ead437bec0f978ed4509fb.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F27924819%2F1dfc36783aa438a3012e524f9f002144f0fc45f3.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F27924819%2Fb698a12c13db2bff16159acb135de312797dc015.png Engine Test : Fascination -> Frustration -> Nightmare https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F27924819%2Fef8b84085a76d%25E2%2580%25A6
- GOTY! #gratefulAF Shot to the heart with all the feels - 11 December 2018
The last few weeks have been incredibly exciting for the team behind ‘The Gardens Between’. We have been awarded MAC GAME OF THE YEAR and AUSTRALIAN GAME OF THE YEAR! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F27924819%2F6e6708189e2646accbd3946b0890b2ea3ee2b589.jpg It is so incredible to be recognised for all of the effort we put in over the last four years of development. We are so touched by all of the support. Be it a tweet from a fan of the game or a big nod from Apple, our heart skips a beat. It’s as though there’s this momentary spark of personal connection with whoever we are hearing from. Like we are felt, understood, and we belong. As though you all know and own a piece of us, like a friendship, understated and subtle... just like our game :) It’s such an unbelievable honour to have so many people loving the game, “someone pinch me, am I dreaming?” Especia…

- The Gardens Between review - a short but vivid voyage into a friendship's past - 19 September 2018
I've been reading a lot lately about the different ways we imagine time, and one, rather obvious thing I've belatedly realised is that we do not actually perceive time at all, but matter in motion. Time is not a tangible entity whistling past, an arrow through the present's heart, but the shifting sum of the timeframes created by the objects around us: sunrise and fall, the tumbling of popcorn from an upturned bowl, the tickle of drums in a passerby's headphones, the bobbing of cans in a flood. An affectionate, if slightly ephemeral puzzler from Australian indie The Voxel Agents, The Gardens Between revels in this thought. It represents the past as a series of spinning island dioramas, at once unearthly and ordinary, made up of objects you must meddle with to allow time as a whole to play out. Fancy temporal machinations aside, the game is about the bond between two children, Arina and…
- Wot I Think: The Gardens Between - 19 September 2018
The Gardens Between is all about reminiscing. It plays like two friends talking about all the adventures they’ve had, with the conversation flowing as they remember details and go back over stories that ve grown with the telling. Do you remember…? it seems to say. Oh yes, but before that-! And of course there was the bit where-! This is not a feeling that comes from the words used because there are none. Instead, it stems from the gentle back and forth rhythm of the time-manipulation puzzles that make up each level of the game. (more…)
- The Gardens Between, a tale of childhood friendship and time travel, comes out next month - 21 August 2018
The Gardens Between , a tale of two friends growing up in a surreal world of magical gardens, will be released on Steam on September 20. The Voxel Agents, the studio making the game, also dropped a new trailer teasing the time manipulation mechanic that will carry Arina and Frendt along on their very strange journey.  "It's our hope that players are not only touched by the story of Arina and Frendt, but that they take time to remember their own special relationships growing up," The Voxel Agents co-founder Simon Joslin said. "While so many of the objects featured in the gardens are from our own childhoods, we hope our audience will relate and recall a time when friendship meant everything." The time-bending element evokes memories of Braid, the famed puzzle platformer that helped put indie games on the mainstream map . And it definitely sounds like that type of game: The annou…
- The Gardens Between is coming to PS4™ - 31 October 2017
We're super excited to announce that The Gardens Between is coming to PlayStation®4 in 2018. To celebrate, we have a brand new Gameplay Trailer on YouTube. Unless you've been lucky enough to play the game at PAX - this is the first time we've shown off the unique gameplay that defines The Gardens Between. In this game, you don’t control the characters; in this game, you control TIME. I’m Matt, and at The Voxel Agents we’ve been working on this wild game idea for some time. Back in 2011, we had a concept for a game based on that scene in Minority Report where Tom Cruise is scrubbing backwards and forwards within a memory trying to uncover clues. We built several prototypes around the idea, and one of those prototypes blossomed into The Gardens Between. The game follows two best friends, Arina and Frendt, who find themselves in this strange and surreal world of garden islands. As a player…

- The Gardens Between is a surreal, time-traveling adventure about growing up - 30 October 2017
The Gardens Between is a puzzle-adventure game about two best friends exploring a world of "beautiful garden islands." While wandering these strange worlds, they can move back and forth through time, enabling them to "discover each garden's secrets and, along the way, reveal a story about friendship, childhood, and growing up." It was originally announced for the PC back in February, but it was re-announced, so to speak, for the PS4 today at the Paris Games Week—and that means we get to watch a new trailer.  The time-manipulation angle evokes memories of the indie hit Braid , but where that game drove me around multiple kinds of bends with its convoluted, oft-infuriating gameplay, developer Voxel Agents says The Gardens Between will be a "restful, relaxing experience" that's "free from language designed for accessibility."    "Our goal is to encourage car…
- Relax with The Gardens Between before it hits in 2018 - 30 July 2017
This is my first look at pretty puzzler The Gardens Between , and it’s giving me vibes that are somewhere between Rime and mobile game Monument Valley. It’s a “surreal puzzle adventure” that’s arriving in early 2018, by the end of March, and three new long videos show off just how good it will look and sound. The music has come out of a collaboration between some impressive sounding people that I’ve never heard of (but you might have), including Grammy award winner Wally de Backer, aka Gotye, and Aussie pianist Luke Howard. The upshot is: it’s very relaxing, and it’s probably going to be my work soundtrack for the day. (more…)
