Our take on Khimera: Puzzle Island
Players who do not enjoy deduction from row and column clues may hit a wall when the puzzles begin: progress depends on determining which cells to fill. The Story Mode tutorial introduces the nonogram concept, but solving grids remains the central activity throughout.
What is Khimera: Puzzle Island?
Chelshia, Amelia and Bernadette arrive on Hanjie Isle to search for four ancient tablet pieces.
In Story Mode, solve nonograms to reveal pictures and learn about the island through cut scenes between puzzles. Mosaic Mode lets players complete grids that combine into larger pictures. The game includes more than 280 puzzles, ranging from 5x5 to 20x15, and a tutorial at the start of Story Mode introduces nonograms. Items can aid puzzle-solving, and options and unlockable marking pieces let players customize the puzzle experience. Controls support a mouse, keyboard or XInput controller. This is a self-contained story, though it refers to events from another game in the Khimera series; knowledge of those events is not required.
