Hey folks!We’re timing this announcement for Day 1 of Melbourne International Games Week (Oct 1)—our favourite week of the year. MIGW is a blast: the whole city buzzes with playtests, panels, and late-night dev chats. Melbourne has shaped The Voxel Agents from day one—its festivals, meetups, and generous community helped us grow from a tiny local team into the studio behind The Gardens Between.

Hey Legends, I'm so excited to announce that our game that we've been working on for so long is finally OUT!We've been working on The Gardens Between since 2012, and this latest instalment in VR I can honestly say is pretty bloody amazing (It's also a massive expansion of the game, but I'll leave that for a different post). Like okay... the original game released in 2018 was already beautiful, I'm just a programmer on the game.. I've been lucky enough to work with some very talented artists. But there's something about this game in VR that is a whole 'nother experience entirely.The first time I put The Gardens Between on a headset it was just a big island in the middle of my room. I sat down cross-legged on the floor, and it was like "OKAY - this is how it's SUPPOSED to be experienced" - sitting on the floor and being surrounded by this mystical place connected me to my childhood self in a way the flat-screen version of the game never could.

We are delighted to announce that Hidden Memories of The Gardens Between will launch August 7th, 2025!When we first created The Gardens Between, it was a love letter to the friendships we cherished in our childhood, the adventures that shaped us, and the bonds that defined us. Seven years later, with our own children experiencing their own bittersweet friendships, the game has taken on a profound new meaning. Hidden Memories of The Gardens Between, our expansive VR edition reflects this deeper, more personal exploration.A brand-new addition to our story is Arina’s diary. Introduced for the first time in Hidden Memories, the diary began as a gift from her dad when they moved house: a blank canvas to capture a new chapter of life. Soon, it grew beyond Arina alone. After meeting her new neighbor, Frendt, the diary became their shared record of adventures, secrets, and discoveries. By the end of this expanded journey, the diary symbolizes the powerful and fleeting moments of childhood friendships—the kind we remember forever, even after goodbyes.Creating the diary was deeply personal for us. It’s filled not just with drawings, but with Arina’s moods, dreams, and emotions. Each page cap
