![]() ![]() It’s a tough concept to wrap your brain around, but the possibilities that arise once you start making these connections is exhilarating. While the bridge might be too small and simply fall down the chasm if you tried to place it there, it would fit perfectly fine when paired with the model, which would then reflect into the larger world by becoming a fully sized bridge. ![]() For example, you might find a tiny handheld bridge and then discover a gigantic chasm. The genius of Maquette lies in how it interconnects the same world at different scales and tasks you with moving across them to change both your size and the size of objects to solve its puzzles. It’s essentially a world in a world in a world… so on and so forth. If you get outside of the areas surrounding the courtyard then you’ll just find yourself inside a larger version of the world. In theory, the world of Maquette is infinite. While moving smaller objects in the model can move larger objects outside, it’s worth keeping in mind that the concepts of “inside” and “outside” are complicated. Maquette uses this concept of recursive worlds to play with size and location in truly clever ways. If you were able to follow along this far, then I’m sure you can see where this is going. The cube is massive and impossible to lift, but if you go into the domed building in the middle of the courtyard, walk up to the model, pick up the tiny version of the red cube and move it, the large version of the red cube outside is moved as well, allowing you to proceed. The way the game first teaches you about recursive worlds is by blocking the path to the first puzzle area with a giant red cube. In the middle of the courtyard is a domed building that contains a smaller replica of the courtyard, the four surrounding areas, and even the domed building. At each of the four sides of the square is a connected area that houses a different location with a puzzle. For starters, I want you to imagine a square courtyard. The concept of a recursive world is a bit difficult to explain, but it’s necessary for understanding how Maquette works. While it’s not an overly difficult game, the introduction of its signature mechanic, the concept of “recursive worlds”, is a lot to take in and requires a decent amount of patience and playful curiosity. The term “thinking outside the box” gets thrown around a lot in regards to puzzle games, but I’ve never seen one where it applies as aptly as in Maquette.
