As a rat owner, I immediately had to pick up this game!
I found it randomly while browsing steam, and though I personally SUCK at puzzle games, I do find picross to be one of the puzzle formats I find easier. And the game doesn't punish you for using hints—they're free and available to use as much and as often as you'd like!
I do find that I'm starting to get better at picross puzzles through playing this game too, which is making it more fun! It's difficult to fault a game that makes me feel like I'm learning y'know? But also, the game just doesn't have any faults in my opinion! It's cute, it functions as intended, and it's pretty addictive once you get going!
One of the highlights of the game is that you can customize your rat and the room they live in! Completing picross puzzles unlocks furniture items for your little rat sona/guy, and I thoroughly enjoy making sure my rat is as comfortable as possible!
Really fun time waster in my opinion. I find it best to play this game as soon as I wake up to help me start the day!
