I loved this game so much! It's essentially a gigantic Minesweeper puzzle that you have to solve in order to restore a mural. The main puzzle is separated into zones of smaller puzzles that you solve to restore parts of the mural. Some of those zones give you a proverb once you complete them. There's one for each achievement the game has (minus completing the entire mural). It's such a chill experience; no timer, no rush, and most important NO GUESSES AT ALL. That's the most impressive thing about this game, to me. I completed the entire thing and never had to take a guess because I couldn't figure out what the solution was for a part of the puzzle. Every single one of them can be completed in its entirety with logic. If you're not able to figure out a zone, it's because you're missing something. Absolutely worth the money. I had so much fun completing this and I wish there was more to do!

A game worth the money!! I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who loves puzzles, this game is pure art and very addictive! It’s a mix between picross and minesweeper (don’t worry, there are no actual mines, so you don’t “die” or restart 😉) I don’t usually play minesweeper style games, but I’m absolutely in love with this one. It took me a little time to figure it out, but I quickly got the hang of it thanks to the short tutorial page and the helpful hints. I love the art design and the music perfectly sets the mood of the painting’s period and feels very relaxing. The only small detail I didn't really like was the “erase errors” option, it removes mistakes but also a small amount of things you got right. But I get that it’s meant to mimic the effect of a mine and honestly it’s still a genius idea ! Once you understand how to play you can't close the game, at least I found it hard to. Plus it has some cool and beautiful achievements !

A must play for those Minesweeper enthusiasts out there. The key difference is that it lack the pressure of getting a game over, and aims for a relaxing experience instead.

Fun game if you like Minesweeper. (It's a lot less Picross and a lot more Minesweeper - it's forming one large picture, but that's about where the Picross ends. It fully follows Minesweeper rules.) It's been interesting to learn about various 500 year old Dutch proverbs, and after the 50% completion mark I started to pick the game back up every spare moment I got. That said, one minor gripe: when you use the button to clear errors, two undesirable things happen: 1) The erased tiles dramatically overshoot the actual mistaken tiles, and erase a larger chunk including correct tiles; this includes even deleting red tiles placed around 0s. 2) On both Steamdeck and keyboard/mouse on PC, pressing that button both clears tiles and makes the game think you're clicking through it to whatever's under it, so if that button is hovering over a completed proverb region, you get that proverb as a popup again. (Also, beware of overusing right trackpad controls on Steamdeck with this one. It's a satisfying way to play, but it flared up my old De Quervain's tenosynovitis.) Overall, I do recommend it.

Probably one of the best chill puzzle games on steam as far as minesweeper-like style of puzzles. I like the art as it fills out and it's pretty satisfying. Definitely worth the price. No idea why this is "unsupported" on steam deck as mine works with this flawlessly.
