Assemble With Care

Assemble With Care is a relaxed, slow-burning casual puzzle game where you step into Maria’s shoes, an antique repair expert setting off on a journey around the world. You’ll land in a sunny town and chat with the locals, who will ask you to restore damaged antiques.

Your job is to study the cracks closely and use the right tools and materials to mend each piece perfectly. As you progress, the antiques become more than objects—you’ll begin to understand what they symbolize, gradually shifting from repairing items to repairing the relationships and feelings between the residents. Expect a chain of touching, uplifting stories and a deeply immersive experience.

Characters

• Maria (CV: Libecca Raccanias): The main hero—an itinerant antique restorer. She travels despite her parents’ concerns, and when her journey ends, she stops in Bella Riva. There, a food festival helps her take a well-earned break and enjoy real meals.



• Joseph (CV: Silus Carson): The mayor of Bella Riva. He’s widowed and lives alone with his daughter, Izzy. He worries that he’s slowly drifting away from her.
• Easy (CV: Bella Lund Guard): Joseph’s daughter and the first person in Bella Riva to commission Maria’s help.
• Carmen (CV: Color Chrome): The owner of a shop. Lately, customers aren’t coming in, and she’s struggling financially.
• Helena (CV: Nina Toussaint-White): Carmen’s older sister. She has a straightforward, career-focused personality—very different from Carmen.

Useful Tips

• Read the story and instructions before each level

  If you want to move through levels quickly, start by reading what’s written first. The game explains the goal of the level and what each item is meant to do. Many first-time players skip this, assuming it’s pointless—but it actually helps a lot. Don’t rush past it; read everything fully before continuing.

• Observe carefully

  Since this is a puzzle game, progress depends on recognizing which objects can be opened, collected, applied, and used in different ways. The better you observe, the better you’ll understand how each item is supposed to fit into the solution. Careful observation also strengthens your puzzle analysis skills and helps you solve faster.

  

• Place items in the right way

  You can’t move items around randomly. Each item has a correct order and placement path. After you click an object, the game expects you to follow that order—so if an item won’t move where you try to put it, it usually means there’s a designated spot made for it.

  

• Finish achievements to unlock more

  You can’t jump ahead to new achievements until you complete the one you’re currently working on. There are 14 achievements in total, and you’ll need to clear them one by one. New achievements only appear after you complete the current ones—so keep finishing them to discover more secrets.

Player Comments

• “Satisfying repair puzzles with a beautiful, distinctive look. The story is slow, so it’s best played when you’re in a patient or meditative mood. Fixing an 80s cassette tape and Walkman—plus a 70s telephone—was super fun. There aren’t many clues, so you’ll be trying things out, but you can’t break anything. For me, it helped me think outside the box.”
• “A great game that genuinely made me emotional. There was a small glitch during the final repair (not the epilogue): when placing the inner machinery into the box, the screen would briefly go black. It was easy to work around, and I’m sure it’s fixable. Truly lovely and interesting.”
• “Wonderful from start to finish—art style, voice acting, mechanics, music… everything. It was a treat to play through (it even made me cry at points). Full playtime is around 30–45 minutes. I honestly didn’t pay attention to the clock. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it on Steam, and it’s definitely worth more than $3.99. You’re underselling how good this is—please keep it up!”
• “Spectacular game. I love troubleshooting. Maybe you could add some sort of troubleshooting feature…”
