Square Valley is a unique and satisfying city-building puzzle game where you play as the Spirit of the Valley tasked with building lands for your citizens. The game offers a narrative-driven experience with lovely visuals and chill music. Each tile on the board has specific requirements that players need to pay attention to, adding a deep strategic thinking element to the game. Despite the focus on fulfilling requirements rather than building a particular aesthetic, Square Valley puts a creative spin on a tired genre, making it a highly compelling puzzle game that is well worth checking out.
