Illustrated, the revelatory, relaxing puzzle game created with famous artists from around the world, launches Friday, Jan. 13, exclusively on Apple Arcade for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Illustrated is the newest game from developer BorderLeap, creators of titles with millions of downloads like Drop Flip, Alpha Omega, and Apple Arcade smash hit Patterned.
Illustrated immerses players in beautiful illustrations and the stories behind them. Featuring creative gameplay that blends jigsaw and word puzzles, each puzzle begins with an illustration represented as an early concept sketch, paired with the concealed words of the artist’s story behind their work of art. With every correctly-placed piece, the illustration comes alive with color while the words of the story are slowly revealed. Upon completion, the full-color masterpiece and story are revealed together in unity.
