The Shape of Things

Hyper Three Studios is putting The Shape of Things on Switch next month, the company has announced. The title is slated for August 31, 2023.

The Shape of Things is a cozy puzzler with a relaxing atmosphere in which players look to solve 3D puzzles inside collectable gachapons by discovering the original shape of objects. The mechanics are inspired by the classic Rubik’s cube puzzler originally invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik.

Here’s an official overview:

The Shape of Things is inspired by the basic concept of the Rubik’s Cube but focuses on real-life objects with a more soothing vibe. Puzzles appear in various combinations and levels unlock randomly adding a refreshing twist to the gameplay. You need to find the correct position for each puzzle piece by rotating, panning, or scaling until you find the shape of things. Just like in real life, mystery worlds are trapped in gachapon, waiting for their release.
