Garden of Gears

Garden of Gears is a puzzle game that made my brain feel good. Each level hands you a set of cogs, belts and levers and asks you to make something work. The solutions are logical, and the click of a machine finally running is deeply satisfying.

It eases you in gently and then trusts you to experiment. I never felt punished for trying a wrong idea, which made me more willing to poke at the harder puzzles. The soft soundtrack and hand-drawn look keep the whole thing calm and welcoming.

This is my go-to when I want something relaxing but still engaging. Perfect for winding down at the end of a day.
