About the Game

DELIGHT YOUR INNER CHILD

Toy Worlds Atlas is a colouring book where each page is a relaxing and reflective visual feast with a unique sandbox puzzle mechanic. Every new level explores a new philosophical topic, getting curiouser and curiouser, more meta and meta-meta...

CREATE YOUR OWN TOY WORLD

Living beings perceive reality differently. Minds toy with subjective pictures of reality. Toy Worlds Atlas imagines subjective worlds materialized, and invites you to decide how they would look like. The game is a playground that fosters thought, imagination and creativity through playful interactions.

TOY PHILOSOPHY

Discover philosophical ideas transformed into colourful playthings, inspired by thinkers ranging from Heidegger and Deleuze to Dennett and Chalmers. Enhance your erudition and reflect on some of the deepest questions through short, playful, and intellectually satisfying puzzles.

SCHOLASTIC DAYDREAMING

A strong surreal art style inspired by the nostalgic visual language of 1990s illustrated encyclopedias and educational atlases.

PHENOMENOLOGICAL ORANGERY

A desktop companion mode: a garden where coloured creatures gather and interact in curious, unexpected ways. Leave the game running while you complete office tasks. Play with friends in local coop, compare your creations, and make them interact!
