I played loads of Picross! Played as much of e through e6 as I could, saving e7 and e8 for a nice long weekend. Instead my focus has turned to Picross 3D Round 2, which is smoother to play than the original in many ways, but also quite frustrating because you have to juggle two colors and end up making silly mistakes because you clicked Blue instead of Yellow, rrrgggh. I’ll post more about it when I finish. The credits already rolled but they gave me even more puzzles, wheee!
For a while there I was only playing Picross because I didn’t feel like dealing with long stories or complicated mechanics. I’m still not ready, and TBH I don’t think I ever will be. It’s possible my days of playing anything with an involving system are over. At least for the next little while I’m content to play stuff with very simple controls. Press A to do everything. B to cancel. Press triangle to bring up the menu. Nothing crazier than that.
Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Curry God – Reached the final dungeon. I think I’ve seen enough so I’m ready to drop it, but I’ll give the dungeon a quick run through, go as far as I can and then call it a day.
Atelier Meruru Plus – I felt like doing some more crafting so I started this up, but… Totori is still too fresh in my mind, so this feels like the same thing all over again. It’s especially true since I haven’t played many games this year so I haven’t had a chance to forget the last game. I still played through the intro and made a save file when the game gets under way proper, but I’ll sandwich another game or two in-between before I start this for reals.
That’s it, just a quick update of what I’m up to these days. Next time I’ll have a final report on either Sorcery Saga or Picross 3D Round 2. See ya!

Saw this while browsing Steam – maybe it’ll be up your alley. Doesn’t have any reviews yet so I probably won’t take the plunge myself for now.
Oh! It’s one of InutoNeko’s games! Thanks for the head’s up! They finally started localizing their stuff. That’s wonderful. Though the translation looks… ahaha. They should have called me instead.
Based on InutoNeko’s past games, Nono should be pretty good and engrossing, worth a play if you get the chance. I’m playing through their stuff in release order so I have 6 more titles to get through before Nono, but I’ll get there soon enough. I’ll play and review the English version when I get round to it.
