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

The narrative point-and-click adventure Reviver finally has an official release date: January 21st, as revealed on its iOS listing. This intriguing title casts you as a sort of butterfly observer, witnessing the intertwined lives of two star-crossed lovers.

We've previously covered Reviver, highlighting its upcoming release and subsequent store listings. Developer CottonGame is almost perfectly meeting their proposed winter release.

In Reviver, you subtly alter the course of events for these lovers, destined to remain apart. Your small actions create significant ripples, potentially changing their fate and bringing them together. The entire narrative unfolds from the perspective of a single room, which you explore to uncover clues and shape the story.

While Reviver might not revolutionize mobile gaming, its unique premise sets it apart. The concept of shaping a romance entirely through the examination of objects within a single room is highly experimental. This unconventional approach may not appeal to everyone, but its potential for evocative storytelling is undeniable. If successful, it could rival more melodramatic titles in the genre.

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