Spark Joy! is a storybook puzzle game that takes players through the joyful journey of tidying using the KonMari Method in the form of solving different puzzles. A heartwarming story for everyone. The game features two alternating types of puzzle games, Yin and Yang. “Yin” puzzles help clear the mind through Zen-like garden puzzles. In “Yang” puzzles, players move colorful cubes to a specified shape while clearing away unnecessary blocks. The game’s soundtrack is composed of beautiful tracks with upbeat, uplifting music for “Yang” and soothing notes for “Yin”.
The story follows a young girl troubled by a personal struggle and after meeting Marie Kondo, she is able to face her problems, listen to her inner voice and eventually find what is truly important to her. The story is told through visually-stunning graphics, like reading a picture book, appropriate for all ages. Sparked by joy, the girl embarks on a journey around the world and meets people facing unique worries of their own. With the help of Marie Kondo and cute Mononoke (spirited beings), the girl helps others overcome their own challenges by sharing her happiness with them and helping them find joy within through tidying.
