Reviver hits storefronts later this month, letting you remake history with one small change

Reviver, the narrative point-and-click adventure game, finally has a release date! According to its iOS listing, the game will launch on January 21st. This intriguing title casts players as a subtle influencer, making minute alterations with significant consequences in the lives of two star-crossed lovers.

We've previously reported on Reviver's development, initially covering its announcement and subsequent app store listings. Developer CottonGame is nearly adhering to its projected winter release.

Reviver offers a unique romantic narrative. Players, essentially observing as a butterfly, witness the unfolding lives of two lovers destined for separation. By making small changes within a single room, players witness the ripple effects of their actions, potentially altering destiny and uniting the couple.

While not expected to revolutionize mobile gaming, Reviver's originality makes it a compelling prospect. The game's experimental approach, focusing solely on items found within a single room to convey the lovers' story, is unconventional. This might deter some players, but its evocative potential could resonate deeply with others, potentially surpassing more conventional narrative games.

Could Reviver make our list of the best mobile games of 2025? Only time will tell!
