Imperfect Garden

Imperfect Garden follows a nameless youth crossing a desolate world in which gardens, temples and other remnants of a once-living landscape have withered beneath an expanding desert. As a child, he lost his right arm in an accident he can no longer clearly recall. Though his prosthetic causes pain, he carries a sword with resolve.

A withering world

The sky stays orange and gray, like an endless sunset. The Perpetuos are ancient beings who wield a dark power that spreads the desert; whenever one awakens, the surrounding land withers further. The youth must stop them before nothing living remains.

Fight with precision

You use four skills to survive and fight:

• Attack: deliver a frontal sword slash and engage enemies head-on.
• Dash: move swiftly forward to dodge strikes and reposition.
• Parry: deflect a blow with your sword and counterattack at the right moment to create an opening.
• Crossbow: temporarily swap your sword for a crossbow and attack from a distance.

To defeat each boss, you combine these skills with careful timing. Watch for tells such as a slight recoil before a sweeping strike, a flicker of light before an energy blast or a subtle tremble in a boss’s limbs; these signal when to strike.
