This game is a cozy detective visual novel crossed with nonograms. You play as Honor, a TV star turned amateur sleuth, alongside her robot partner SCOUT, solving 1990s-style murders via the nonogram puzzles. The combo worked well for me and I enjoyed the game. What I Loved [*] The nonogram puzzles are the heart of the game and they're satisfying to figure out. Scanning evidence by filling in grids never got old, and tying each puzzle to a clue made them feel like each one had a purpose. [*] Honor and SCOUT are a fun duo. Their banter and the case-of-the-week structure kept me invested in the story beyond the puzzles. [*] The 90s setting, character designs, and upbeat soundtrack reminded me of my childhood and felt like it fit the tone perfectly. [*] It's an easy game to sink into. The cases are broken into bite-sized scenes, so it's simple to play a little or a lot. It took me a little over 14 and a half hours to get 100% achievements. [*] There's a hint system, which can be helpful if it's needed. What Could Have Been Better [*] The puzzle difficulty caps fairly early. Once you hit the bigger grids, it stays in that range for most of the game. [*] The story is pretty linear, and some of the jokes can be hit or miss. At some small points the story drags a little. [*] Optional puzzles can be annoying to revisit if you miss them, since you have to replay the entire case. [*] The hacking timed puzzles might be frustrating for some people. Overall Thoughts This game is a great pick if you want a story-driven puzzle game that doesn't take itself too seriously and you enjoy nonograms. The nonogram puzzles themselves are solid, the characters are likeable, and the cases are fun to work through. Not a perfect game, but I had a good time playing it.
