The Gardens Between reviews and comments

Fun and unique, if a little repetitive.
The game mechanics are unique and first time for me . It's a short game and is worth a try. I couldn't pass through for the final light thing in the last puzzle due to some glitch, and had to watch the ending on youtube .The payoff at the end was not effective because of that.  Overall a good short game .
A short charming game with gorgeous visuals, smooth graphics and interesting gameplay.
As you move through the worlds time also moves forward and changes the path your walking on and the background, which sometimes reveals important designs. Some of the puzzles are quite difficult, but definitely worth your time.
Definitely worth playing, tho I’d rather advice buying it for your tablet or smartphone than for your console. Among other things, it’s also cheaper there.

A bit short, but it offers a very unique gameplay. It even has some peaks of difficulty that will have you scratching your head for a moment.

One thing I loved is the fact that the level design is not something passive in the background, but instead it's a huge part of the storytelling, and I would even dare to say, even more important that the main characters.

A Charming short game with a good soundtrack to relax. It Does not require any effort in passing.

Nice Game with sometimes slightly heavier, but always fair, Puzzles. The Linux Translation is impeccable. Whether 2 to 3 hours of Play is worth the €153, everyone has to decide for themselves. I don't regret buying though.

Very Nice game Nice picture, soft ambient on the background. Not too overmatched puzzles (except couples, maybe), which is especially interesting-they are space-time! The Game is an hour and a half, but still good. As usual in these games the end is a little sad.

Great Game! The Extent, sometimes rated as too low, is just right for me and without Spicking It takes quite several Hours (c.4-5h). The Puzzles are consistently logically constructed and one or the other hard Nut is there. Atmosphere, Audio visual and Style are very appealing to me and somehow unique. There are not many Games of this Style and those who do not need an 80h Range will entertain in a dreamlike ambience.

The Gardens Between is a short but emotionally touching Puzzle Leglady. The Puzzles are usually not very difficult, but since these can only be solved via the Timeline, the Approach is definitely very interesting. Due to the Art-style and especially the sound design as well as the music, however, it becomes clear that The Gardens Between appeals to an emotional Level. By Living through the Memory of the two Characters, a nostalgic Charm emerges that carries over to the Player and recalls one's own Childhood. The Price of €176 may be set slightly high, but it's still worth an Experience. And what, after all, are the Sales for?!
