Overview & Key Takeaways

One developer we've covered infrequently is Cottongame, a studio that regularly produces strange but fascinating puzzlers. Their catalogue covers everything from time-twisting love stories to strangely engrossing photo-themed puzzlers. And now, their latest entry may be their oddest yet with the release of Shattered Dimension on iOS and Android. In Shattered Dimension, you play as an investigator heading to a strange borderworld. Your job is, as you might expect, to uncover the usual labyrinthine plot that will require adapting to this alien world and solving puzzles as you go. And believe me when I say alien, I mean alien. ... [MORE]

One developer we've covered infrequently is Cottongame, a studio that regularly produces strange but fascinating puzzlers. Their catalogue covers everything from time-twisting love stories to strangely engrossing photo-themed puzzlers. And now, their latest entry may be their oddest yet with the release of Shattered Dimension on iOS and Android.

In Shattered Dimension, you play as an investigator heading to a strange borderworld. Your job is, as you might expect, to uncover the usual labyrinthine plot that will require adapting to this alien world and solving puzzles as you go. And believe me when I say alien, I mean alien.

Shattered Dimension uses a top-down tabletop perspective where you sift through different evidence and map out the relations between the various persons of interest that you meet. You'll have to combine classic detective work with your typical point-and-click puzzle mindset to uncover the truth behind the mystery.

Outworld

As Cottongames put it, while Shattered Dimension may follow a similar style to their previous entries, this is something that they hope will stand entirely on its own. And truth be told, the fact that it stands out from stuff like Reviver or KaCaKaCa is probably a good thing. But it still has that strangely cosy, if surreal, atmosphere about it.

Certainly, this may be their most 'out-there' yet by combining what seems to be relatively straightforward detective gameplay with a bizarre pseudo-alien world. So if you think you've got the chops to solve the mystery, you'll find Shattered Dimension available now on iOS and Android!

But if you think you need even more challenges, then we've got you covered. Because there are plenty of great releases to check out on mobile. Just have a look at our list of the five new mobile games to try this week for some of our curated selections!

Game of Thrones: Dragonfire ties into season three finale with limited-time event

After the disastrous reception of the Game of Thrones finale way back in 2019, it seemed as if the franchise was done on television. But after the dramatic success of both A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon, it's no surprise Game of Thrones: Dragonfire has been tying back into these newfound high points! And if you've been following House of the Dragon, you can now enjoy a limited-time event, available until August 24th, set to tie into the season three finale of the show. This event will see all the previously limited dragons return to the Hatchery, each modelled on their appearance in the show. ...

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard📱 Mobile

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard

While Papers, Please invoked a really grim and dystopian style of gaming, for better or for worse, many other developers have taken a slightly lighter view on the subject. Case in point: the upcoming deductive sim Lil' Guardsman, which is set to release on iOS and Android this winter, puts you in the shoes of the bane of all adventurers. In Lil' Guardsman, you play as the twelve-year-old Lil, tasked with covering your father's shift as, unsurprisingly, a guardsman at the gate of a city called the Sprawl. You'll need to interrogate various visitors, ranging from wizards to cyclopes, and decide whether to let them in, jail them or deal with them in some other way. ...

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn📱 Mobile

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn

Well, it's about that time again. Yes, sadly we have to report that another fan-favourite mobile game is set to shut its doors. This time, the victim is none other than Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. And unfortunately, you don't have long to jump in and have a go, because end-of-service is set for September 3rd. A side-scrolling platformer in the vein of the classic Castlevania games, especially Symphony of the Night, Grimoire of Souls already has an interesting history. Slated to shutter back in 2020, Grimoire of Souls would instead make its way exclusively to Apple Arcade without any monetisation elements. ...
