• Yes! This is what the other entries that ported other games over to the engine needed. It isn't just Picross. The visual novel structure having a plot that gives a reason for solving the puzzles is great, the writing isn't stellar but serves its purpose more than well enough. The game's execution to show off this idea is great and a lot of effort has gone into this and it really shows. Giving players an introduction to Picross helps a lot. Would play a full length game of this kind.
• Great submission overall, really the only thing I can say is that for a Picross beginner like me it took a while to get the hang of it so the whole thing took me about an hour and a half to beat. But still, the UI was really clean and I enjoyed figuring out the puzzles. I couldn't really follow the story very well but I was still pretty invested in the characters and the world. Definitely one of the better submissions from a writing standpoint as well.
• Puzzle Over is a game based on Picross/Nonograms. Aside from it, it features a short story about a researcher who is using Sigils to save his country while the Sigils are the Picross puzzles the player must solve. It is faithfully recreated in SRPG Studio, but the concept of the game might be a bit hard to understand if you never played it before. But once you learn how it's played, you would enjoy a very fun pictogram game. I'd recommend looking for the rules of Picross before getting into this submission. Unlike other entries revolving puzzles or board games, this one features a plot built around it and several custom assets, making this particular entry stand out on its own. The only problem with the entry would be the lack of an step by step tutorial (which understandibly would be pretty hard to implement) for those who doesn't know how to play this particular puzzle game. Aside from that, it's a solid entry. Would Recommend.
