Jigrift is a 3D puzzle adventure game where the world is a gigantic jigsaw puzzle that you assemble while you explore.
AN EPIC HOMECOMING RITUAL
Bert was abandoned on the mainland with nothing more than the puzzle piece shaped sigil of Jigrift wrapped tightly around his hand. He was different from the other frogs in the mainland, having three eyes in total, one more than what’s customary for frogs. He’s spent his life dreaming of finding Jigrift, a long lost island inhabited by a clan of three-eyed voodoo frogs with incredible land-moving powers. Perhaps there he would finally fit in! One day, after years of searching, he crashes ashore! His arrival invokes The Scattering of the island, a ritual where Jigrift breaks apart into dozens of pieces. It's up to him to put the island back together like a jigsaw puzzle to finally call this land his home!
A JIGSAW PUZZLE WORLD
Everything on Jigrift has fallen apart including trees, maps, bridges, totems, keys and more! Their pieces are hidden and you’ll need to leap, swing, and dance around this scattered island paradise to have any hope of finding them.
Some of these newly assembled objects will allow you to seek out the spirit mask alters. Spirit masks want nothing more than to be returned to their alters and will reward you greatly if you do so! When returned, they will rain new pieces of the island down from the sky! Use these newly revealed chunks of land to assemble Jigrift like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle, and expand the world for further exploration.
WHILE ASSEMBLING JIGRIFT YOU'LL...
Journey across a 3D world like never before, by reconstructing this island paradise as you meander. Roam the land by foot, and switch to a bird's-eye view to reassemble it.
Put the jigsaw pieces back in their rightful places to rebuild the land. Or maybe twist, flip, and move them in odd ways to uncover hidden secrets…
Assemble trees, maps, bridges, totems, keys and more. But first you’ll have to find their pieces which are hidden all over the island!
Mingle with the quirky residents of Jigrift. They haven’t seen a Scattering in years and are excited to meet you and help you along your journey!
Enjoy the tropical, energetic music of the island that adapts to the quirks of every character that you meet.
