About Arise: A Simple Story

Arise: A Simple Story is an indie adventure that turns one person's life into a journey through memory, love and loss. As you move across landscapes that shift with emotion, each scene becomes both a fresh challenge and an invitation to view an ordinary life in a new light, carried by a soulful score and the heartfelt art direction of Piccolo Studio.

At the center of the game is your control over time. You can fast forward, rewind or pause the flow, sending your surroundings from the passing of seconds all the way to the turning of entire seasons. That mastery isn't just for show; you use it to relive memories and to solve the obstacles that stand in your way, weaving the puzzle-solving directly into the story's emotional beats.

Arise can also be shared, with an option to bring in a second player to help manage the flow of time alongside you. Its gentle, easy-to-learn design keeps everyone involved, letting you experience this tender tale of a personal, everyday struggle together and feel its emotional weight to the fullest.
