Charm Studies

a short but cute nomnomnami visual novel with a few picross puzzles thrown in :) as a picross game it's nothing exceptional, but it usually works well enough that the character interactions and pretty art are enough to make up for it! and the music is chill to boot. cassia my beloved

play it

awesome lil game :D it's chill, it's cozy, the short story and characters are really neat, i had a good time!

Another amazing and cozy game by Nami! I made sure to finish all the puzzles before writing this review as I am a bit of a completionist. Those 15x15 puzzles were tricky but very rewarding! I really appreciated that there was no penalty for mistakes, in turn that amplified the chill lo-fi effect Nami was going for. If you love picross mobile games and a cute little side story, then this game is for you!! Well done on another amazing cute game!!!

its exactly as advertised, fun for those who wants to do nothing but sit down and click on some squares and complete cute and pretty pictures. the story had me surprisingly moved however. i wasn't aware that such a simple innocent story can hit me the way it did. but i suppose it is because of my own circumstances. either ways, beautifully written, (there were even words i didnt know the meaning of) the art was flawless too, the characters were so sweet looking. Ive completed the whole thing, full achievements, and theres no better way for me to say this, its a 9.5/10 game. not because its blowing me out of the water, but because it had an image to fullfill and it was executed perfectly. the only reason i knock out a few points is due to the UI of filling the boxes. its too easy to accidentally slip and make a mistake by clicking something im not supposed to, maybe a linear snap style of filling tool can be introduced? idk, small lifestyle improvements of the gameplay can really perfect it imo.

fico muito triste em dar uma review negativa pra um trabalho da NomnomNami, que é uma dev indie que eu sempre busco apoiar e aprecio os trabalhos, mas esse aqui foi um pouco fora da curva. é um joguinho bonitinho e divertido, como sempre, mas, na minha opinião, realmente não vale o preço pra tão pouca coisa.
