Reviver, the narrative point-and-click adventure, finally has an official release date: January 21st! This was revealed via its iOS listing. In Reviver, you'll subtly alter the lives of two star-crossed lovers, witnessing the ripple effects of your tiny actions.
We've previously covered Reviver, initially announcing its upcoming release and later highlighting its app store listings. Developer CottonGame is almost keeping to its proposed winter release, launching on January 21st.
Reviver offers a unique narrative romance. You play as a sort of butterfly, observing the lives of two lovers destined for separation. By making small changes within a single room, you'll attempt to alter their fate and bring them together. The game's impact is far greater than the scale of your actions suggests.
While Reviver may not revolutionize mobile gaming, its originality makes it worth checking out. The concept of conveying a complete story solely through items examined within a single room is highly experimental. This unconventional approach might not appeal to everyone, but its evocative potential could resonate deeply with players.
