Sky Haven: AR Merge Adventure

About

Sky Haven: AR Merge Adventure puts you in the boots of a H.A.V.E.N. agent hunting down strange creatures that live in our skies. You use your phone camera and an agency drone to find these beings in the real world, then merge them together to heal and feed them. The game mixes puzzle mechanics with augmented reality as you scan your local area for hidden Guardians who can help you. Things get tricky when you realize some agents might be hiding their true intentions while others plot behind the scenes. The strongest part is how the AR layer changes standard merging puzzles into a real world scavenger hunt. You have to move around your neighborhood to find specific creatures, which makes every session feel different from the last. Players on PlayPile rate this high for its creative use of location data without feeling forced. The story about trust within the agency adds a nice layer of depth to what could have been just another monster collecting game. It stays simple enough to play while walking but complex enough to keep you thinking about who to believe.
