Tin Hearts

Tin Hearts is a narrative puzzle adventure in which you guide a troop of tin soldiers through a grand Victorian home. Across four acts and more than 50 lemmings-like puzzles, you lead them to their goal while uncovering the story of Albert J. Butterworth, a genius inventor facing sorrow and heartache as his love for life and invention are threatened.

Albert's story

Treasured memories, photographs and handwritten letters reveal Albert’s life and a story of family, love and compromise. As you explore, you witness the balance between family and work, as well as the exploitative nature of the Guild of Toy Makers. The home holds memories both treasured and painful.

Guide the soldiers

You find routes through evolving puzzles, with multiple ways to solve them. The garden lets soldiers bounce, glide and soar toward their goal, while the inventor’s basement is filled with technology and inventions. You can also take direct control of Mr Soldier, an independent tin soldier who can break rank and scout ahead, adding another way to explore.

Inventions and time

New inventions are introduced as you progress, including toy cannons, trampoline drums and balloon-inflating machines. You manoeuvre them to create a safe route for the soldiers, then take on the power glove, an electrifying invention. You can pause, fast-forward and rewind time to see and change the outcome of your actions, and use hints while solving the puzzles.

Virtual reality

A separate version designed from the ground up for virtual reality lets you directly control, touch and feel the game’s mechanics. You can also move closer to inspect the environments and toys.
