What it does

Arina and Frendt fall into a series of vibrant, dreamlike island gardens peppered with everyday objects that hold a special significance to the duo. Together they embark on an emotional journey that examines the significance of their friendship: the memories they’ve built, what must be let go, and what should never be left behind.

The Gardens Between is a breathtaking puzzle adventure that follows best friends, Arina and Frendt, as they fall into a surreal world of garden islands and boundless sea. Traverse back and forwards in time to discover each garden’s secrets and, along the way, reveal a story about friendship, childhood and growing up.
