The Villager and the Werewolf - A jigsaw puzzle tale

I'm just gonna copy and paste my review for this dev's other jigsaw game as they're exactly the same apart from the story/pictures obviously. Really nice jigsaw game, pictures are great and overall I liked it :D Pros: - Snapping pieces together works really well - You can actually snap pieces together outside of the main box (yeah most jigsaws I've played don't allow this) - Very good zoom - Hints (I used to think hints were weird, but spamming them when you've only got a few pieces left to place is fun xD) - Cool music - Actually tells you which ones you've completed in the menu Suggestions/Complaints: - Add a "edge piece only" button. Some people like it, arguably it's "cheating" but people should be able to chose if they wanna use it or not. - Neither of the 2 "sound" settings mute the story that plays at the end of each jigsaw. - I also don't think the story for each jigsaw should play again once you've seen it once. You can always go into the menu and play it again via the "book" thing, so I don't think it's needed. - Keyboard shortcuts would've been nice (like WASD/arrows for moving, shortcut for showing the picture, shuffle etc, just everything that's available but via keyboard shortcuts) - Small issue with zooming, if you zoom in all the way you can't actually move around the whole screen, causing you to miss pieces if you don't zoom out again. Not really a big deal but IMO definitely a bug. Recommended even at full price, I got over 30 hours of gameplay out of this (I did each jigsaw and their sizes once). Excited to finish the other ones :D

[h3]Не могу рекомендовать эту пазл игру к покупке.[/h3] Я купила ее из за интересного концепта - пазл + рассказ. Но тут разработчик видимо считает что все люди [strike]дауны[/strike], потому что сбор пазла идёт на светлом фоне картинки самого пазла. Да, вы можете отключить эту функцию на время, но только после того как вы зашли в пазл и уже увидели спойлер к рассказу. Так по мимо всего этого ты смотришь на эту картинку, ты собираешь эту картинку, а после ты слушаешь рассказ и смотришь на куски этой же картинки. Просто иDиоTизм какой то. И так 8 пазлов, под заунылую музыку. А так же: - пазл притягивается к правильному месту. - картинка постоянно съезжает, из за того что пазл притянулся, а ты кликнул ещё раз по картинке . А знаете что самое ужасное? Что разработчики решили что вы мало посмотрели на эти ВОСЕМЬ КАРТИНОК, и теперь ВЫ ДОЛЖНЫ собрать их из пазлов в количестве - 60, потом 135, 240, 375, 540!!! Одни и те же картинки... Такую интересную идею запоганили. >:(

This is a simple puzzle game where a small bit of plot is revealed when you complete the puzzle. It tells a very short story about werewolves. You get 8 puzzles and 5 modes for each of them for a total of 40 play opportunities. Pros: Story: it's compelling to have a story told in this way. I was intrigued enough after finishing a puzzle to go to the next one. The art style is interesting, if rough. The story is read out as well as text on the screen. Play: The puzzle pieces snap together easily, which allows you to randomly drag a piece into a pile of similarly colored pieces--very helpful when you are doing one of the 500 piece puzzles and there is a big chunk of black or gray background. You can zoom in and out with the scroll wheel and move the area around the pieces around. Pieces also snap to the grid if you prefer to place them that way. You can turn the background picture on and off--if you need a reference, or do not want one. There's a button for shuffling the pieces. Cons: Story: the story is beyond simplistic--it's essentially incomplete. The same piece of the story plays when you finish a puzzle in any of the 5 modes, so you've heard it 5 times by the time you've finished a puzzle. 6 of the 8 puzzles seem to be setting the scene and then suddenly the 7th and 8th try to rush the plot at the end. I fully expected there to be another two or three puzzles on an additional page once I finished the 8th, but instead the story just ends. Art-wise, about half the levels have trees for scenery--which makes them feel very similar. Often with the trees there is a lot of sameness in the aesthetic, so I would just be dropping pieces in a line to see which ones clicked into place rather than matching the images. I consider this mostly a minor problem but if that bugs you, well, now you know. Play: It would be convenient to be able to change the background colors--it can be quite hard to see the details of certain pieces. Occasionally a piece will not snap in with the others --this happened most when I had a nice large chunk with one piece in the middle. I would try to drop the piece in and it would be left behind. Once the chunk was set in the grid, the piece snaps in place just fine, so it wasn't a large problem.

Honestly one of the better puzzle games I've played! The story is kinda basic but that doesn't take away from the actual putting together of the puzzles. The mechanics are simple and easy to use. Best part of this is I can easily watch something and put puzzles together without needing a table and to spend outrageous amounts of money on individual puzzles!

What a plot twist.. Good narrator.

A story that holds us, a very pleasant experience.

A different jigsaw game with a story that keeps you interested. I liked it, it's perfect for Halloween!

Enjoyable jigsaw puzzle game. The short story is also good.

This was an interesting experience- the story is short but the art style is unique and the puzzles interspersed between story beats feels particularly effective.

ジグソーパズルで語られる人狼物語。絵は全8枚で一番少ないピース数なら1時間少々で終わる。BepInEx（x86版）とXUnity.AutoTranslator-BepInEx-5.2.0で日本語に自動翻訳が可能（XUnity.AutoTranslator-ReiPatcherでも可）。パズルの合間にストーリーが語られるので翻訳する価値はある。
