I enjoyed playing through this, although I'm not really the target audience.
Picross isn't really my thing. The best way to sum up my thoughts on picross is that it's more satisfying then interesting. Sometimes that's what you want though and I still find it interesting to try out picross games.
The best part about the picross implementation here is that when you fill out all the clued squares in a row/col, it automatically x marks every other square. The worst part about the picross implementation here is that the 15x15 puzzle was a little laggy for me, which made the experience of solving it a little bad.

The puzzles in this game overuse symmetry. There's one or two puzzles that I thought were neat, but overall this is pretty basic picross gaming.


I liked the worldbuilding you get in the dialogue (People explaining things in stories is an easy way to appeal to me. Characters weren't interesting to me. The game is pretty cute though, so that's sweet.

There's a really minor neat thing this game does that I adore After the final puzzle, your tutor says you should know enough to be able to study on your own and pass the class. Then you only unlock the final epilogue scene after you voluntarily do 5 more puzzles {which are a bit more difficult than the main ones}
