About A Familiar World

A Familiar World is a Ren'Py puzzle game by HighbornTiger that mixes jigsaw solving with a story told through 3D rendered characters. The setting is a castle and the surrounding lands in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world after a brutal war leaves only a few powerful men ruling small communities of women. You follow nine women as they discover one another and try to escape their harsh circumstances. The core play combines optional puzzle completion with unlocked narrative scenes, and the tag themes include fantasy, female domination, and superpowers.

The current v1.0.1 build, released December 31, 2024, is finished and runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English without censorship. It contains 101 puzzles, with 44 tied to scene unlocks and the rest available as extra content. The latest update added 4 new puzzles, 3 new scenes, and 65 additional puzzles that can be played separately from the main game.

Developer's description

"A Familiar World" gives the usual jigsaw puzzle genre a different spin. Not only does it feature good-looking models in exciting environments and situations, but it also offers a story element that you unlock by completing puzzles. The game plays in and around a castle in a post-apocalyptic world. A long and brutal war left only a few strong men alive. Each settled down in their own part of the world. Those men quickly became the center point of small functioning societies comprised of the remaining females. "A Familiar World" tells the story of nine women, how they found each other, and how they eventually managed to flee their cruel reality.​
