If you like Picross you'll probably love this game. Cute characters, fun puzzles, and catchy music by Masakazu Sugimori, probably best known for the Phoenix Wright games.
Solid nonogram puzzle game + visual novel, with a good story! The worst problem is that it doesn't have an undo button, which definitely gets annoying, but it's not too bad.
I have completed the story mode and all of the post-game puzzles. While the game is somewhat lacking in QOL features, I did, by and large, enjoy the game, except for one glaring issue. Every case contains at least one set of timed Picross puzzles. These sets of timed puzzles must be completed to progress and the time allotted is anything but generous. Yes, they can be retried infinitely with no penalty (except for the player's frustration and wasted time, of course) until completed but if you are just not fast enough, for whatever reason? Too bad, so sad, no more progress for you. Given that this is a puzzle game that one can reasonably expect to be able to complete only by exercising one's little grey cells, not one's reflexes, I consider this an unforgivable design decision that warrants a negative rating.

Ace Attorney meets Picross. As a nonogram lover, I really wanted an easy way to access just the puzzles or get an idea of how many there were. Half of the puzzles are found throughout the course of the visual novel as requirements to advance. Half are optional that are unlocked as you progress through the chapter. Originally I was really invested in collecting all the information and making sure I was on the right track in the story, but its kind of inconsequential. I did appreciate the difficulty of the puzzles do scale as you advance through the cases. But I was disappointed that there weren't any benefits to being quick, or not using hints, or even getting S rank on a case - the only achievements are for completing the case in general. Otherwise, easy functionality, good character design, well thought out story.
Puzzle and story were fantastic. Did get enjoyment out of playing and teased the brain
gute Rätsel
간단히 설명하면 역전재판 + 노노그램, 기본이 잘 갖춰진 탄탄한 게임
Nice mashup of a detective visual novel like the Ace Attorney series with Nonogram / Picross puzzles. I picked it up on sale, and am unsure whether I'd be as happy with it if I paid full price for it.
The story has the same vibe to Ace Attorney, without the court room. Fun and quirky. You look around and find clues. Each time you find an evidence, a nonogram puzzle pops up, then you talk to people and talk about it with them. The nonogram is also fun and challenging. But this story is so stupid......each time i read the story from case 1, it just wants me to yell at the protagonist. Like, "CAN YOU WAIT A MOMENT BEFORE YOU ACCUSE SOMEONE OF THE CRIME?!?!?!" If you are here for the vibe and want to play a nonogram thats unique, this is the game for you! I'm just going to skip all the dialogue and finish the game =(
ノノグラム(いわゆるピクロス)が好きなので、それなりには楽しみました。 ただストーリーモードが、私にとっては特におもしろいものではなかった。 単にパズルを解くだけなら新味もないので、ストーリーがあるのは歓迎なのですが。
