Assemble with Care is a premium puzzle PC game by developer ustwo games. It is a narrative-driven retro puzzler adventure set during the 80s, wherein players will take on the role of an antique restoration specialist arriving in a new town. They will go about helping the townsfolk restore their old, precious trinkets, as well as rehabilitate their bond as a community.

Antique bonds

In Assemble with Care, you play as Maria, an antique restorer arriving in the town of Bellariva. Take things apart and put them back together in cozy and relaxing, zen-like puzzle gameplay. Meet a varied group of customers from town, each with a unique piece of item they hold dear that needs to be repaired or restored to working order.

Each trinket holds a story that tells more about who they are and the struggles they face. It’s up to you to help bring order back to their lives, and for them to realize just how important the people in their lives are. It’s a bit bittersweet, though, that this game is a rather short experience, taking only a couple of hours to complete.

The sum of its parts

In conclusion, Assemble with Care stays true to its name, crafting a delicate and heartwarming experience. Get to know each customer through their possessions, and help transform their lives for the better through your fine handiwork. Despite its short stretch, this is a game worth playing if you’re a fan of these types of experiences.
