A super quick puzzle game where you guide two friends as they circle around tiny islands to reach the top of the hill at each one's center. I say "guide" because the characters act on their own set path; you control time, pushing them forwards and backwards as they continue on whatever path they choose. You can have them interact with a few objects that may cross their path, and this will affect the paths they choose. A god simulator writ small? A spiritual successor to Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons? This was a clever concept that may be too slight for some to care about but The Gardens Between worked just fine for me.
