The Architect is a game I covered way back last year, and now it's had a full release I gave it another run. If you like puzzle games done a bit differently, this will be a good fit for you.

I can't say I've come across many puzzle games like it, and the level design is quite interesting to the point of being frustrating at times. Frustrating mainly as it takes some patience to work out a good way to travel, and not end up stuck. You use up and down modifiers to change the squares in the labyrinth, so if you're not careful you can end up boxing yourself in. I get stuck a lot in games like this.

I'm not sold on the story-telling, as I found it to be quite odd and randomly placed, but the puzzle mechanics are great. The visual style fits perfectly for what it's trying to achieve, and it does look quite nice.

It's a perfect game to have Steam Workshop, and soon it will!

Features
* Unique graphical style
* Use space modifiers to change the labyrinth around you!
* Step into magnetic distortion fields for fast travels!
* Music tracks fitting for the game’s atmosphere
* Optional levels with additional details to the story
* Full featured level editor included
* Create custom levels
* Share levels on the internet and test your friends - Steam WorkShop support coming shortly
