Probably one of the best chill puzzle games on steam as far as minesweeper-like style of puzzles. I like the art as it fills out and it's pretty satisfying. Definitely worth the price.
No idea why this is "unsupported" on steam deck as mine works with this flawlessly.
It's less of a puzzle in that you won't have to think hard and much (and when you get lost, a hint is free). But it's a great logical timekiller to fill during boring calls and the likes — and Bruegel's proverbs are very fun to learn as well!
I loved this game so much! It's essentially a gigantic Minesweeper puzzle that you have to solve in order to restore a mural. The main puzzle is separated into zones of smaller puzzles that you solve to restore parts of the mural.
Some of those zones give you a proverb once you complete them. There's one for each achievement the game has (minus completing the entire mural).
It's such a chill experience; no timer, no rush, and most important NO GUESSES AT ALL. That's the most impressive thing about this game, to me. I completed the entire thing and never had to take a guess because I couldn't figure out what the solution was for a part of the puzzle. Every single one of them can be completed in its entirety with logic. If you're not able to figure out a zone, it's because you're missing something.
Absolutely worth the money. I had so much fun completing this and I wish there was more to do!

This update fixes a few more annoying issues, some of which were introduced in recent updates (sorry!) Fixed an issue with mouse wheel zooming the wrong way when changing scroll direction. The region reveal animation no longer zooms out. Fixed clue numbers not disappearing during the region reveal animation. The reveal animation has been polished up a bit, with nicer SFX. Fixed an issue with UI region/count info only updating once a second. Clearing errors no longer makes the horrible overlapping sound of dozens of tiles flipping. The undo button is now hidden once you've completed the puzzle. Slowed down the endgame replay slightly.
