What players say
No other nonograms game comes as close to being as awesome as this one. The story is cute, the game is well made, and THE MUSIC, oh my god! The music is incredible!!
I've always been a fan of nonograms, especially because of this game. Good mysteries and pacing as well as a fun ost. Please have fun and play this.
~Ace Attorney Vibe and storytelling style ~I like the math puzzle, but it seems out of place for the story ~Unique art is pretty good, but everything is so vibrant that i tkinda hurts to look at ~Good music, but not enough variety It starts getting gay (literally) as you play. Chapters 1-2 were tolerable, but in chapter 3 a line needs to be drawn.
