Indie developer Whaleo has recently launched The Valley of the Architects on iOS, offering an intriguing blend of architecture, adventure, and mystery. Step into the shoes of Liz, an enthusiastic architectural writer, as you embark on a thrilling journey across Africa to unravel the secrets of the elusive Lost Architect.

This is no typical adventure; every step you take is a puzzle to be solved, a challenge to be conquered, and a clue that brings you nearer to uncovering the truth buried within the ruins.

Using only elevators as your tools, you'll need to cleverly manipulate your surroundings in The Valley of the Architects to navigate the trials set by the Architect. Each level is a meticulously crafted puzzle that requires careful thought and experimentation.

What begins as a simple movement mechanic soon evolves into a series of increasingly intricate challenges, putting your intellect and determination to the test. Each puzzle is not just an obstacle—it's a key to understanding the Architect's vision and the hidden narrative that gradually unfolds as you progress.

The game's environments are stunningly crafted, presenting breathtaking dioramas that serve as both playgrounds and puzzle boxes. From towering ruins to forgotten chambers, every location tells a story, drawing you deeper into Liz's journey.

A fully voice-acted narrative brings her experiences to life, immersing you in the unfolding mystery. Each level represents a new page in the Architectural Abstract magazine, chronicling her adventure as she edges closer to a revelation that could change everything.

As you play, the dynamic soundtrack shifts to match the intensity of each moment, heightening the sense of discovery and tension. The deeper you delve, the higher the stakes become.

The Valley of the Architects is now available on iOS for just $3.99, ready for you to explore and solve the mysteries left behind by the Lost Architect.
