Seekers, welcome to Part IV of Explore Islands of Insight – a 5-part series where we will explore each biome of the game.
The story of the land is that it was created by the Auroral from the memories of another world – our world, planet Earth. It allowed us to take inspiration from lots of different areas on the planet to create new and unique zones that do not normally exist.
Today we will talk about Shady Wildwood – let’s dive in!
Like every other biome, Shady Wildwood pulls ancient architecture – in this case Dravidian temples from India - into an unexpected landscape – the redwood forests of California.
Shady Wildwood, like the rest of Islands of Insight, offers plenty of sublime locations and experiences to breathe in and discover. Explore the expansive open world and climb to some of the highest points in the game on the tops of Dravidian Temples, overlooking the rest of whole of this beautiful world. Try to wrap your brain around Reflections in the Sky – a mind-bending inverted island filled with themed puzzles.
One aspect that makes this biome unique is that it contains a handful of objectives focused on timing. The Cloud of Pearls Enclave will invite you into a temple filled with Skydrops, challenging you to solve them all within a time limit. Scurry Hurry is a testament to Movement puzzles, hiding a series of Flow Orbs inside the confines of a multi-story Crystal Labyrinth. Shady Wildwood also sees the return of the Match 3 Speed Challenge, which will test your Match 3 skills and your memory at the same time.
Discover a new logic grid rule in A Solitary Island. And make friends with the truly mysterious Shy Auras – a new puzzle type that is unlike anything in the game so far.
Play Islands of Insight now to solve and discover everything that Shady Wildwood has to offer. And stay tuned for Part 5, where we’ll wrap up our time Exploring Islands of Insight in the Serene Deluge.
