These are everyday little problems that require some problem-solving, minor sleuthing, and resolution! Little Problems is a refreshing departure from the typical narrative of grandiose conflicts and complex villainy. It invites players to delve into a world where detective work is about connecting with friends, understanding the small yet significant issues of daily life, and finding joy in the simplicity of resolution. This game isn't about saving the world; it's about enriching it, one little problem at a time. This charming title, challenges players to solve mysteries around minor inconveniences, everyday misunderstandings, and of course, little problems. Key Features: Cute, hand-drawn art by an Indonesian illustrator, Melinda. Solve Life’s Little Problems: Help Mary through life’s little challenges, small in scale, big in charm. Handcrafted Puzzles: Each level is a unique scenario, lovingly designed to be clever, approachable and satisfying. 10 Distinct Cases: Each case presents a different scenario with its own set of puzzles and surprises. Helpful Hints When You Need Them: If you get stuck, you can see where mistakes are, keeping the challenge fun, not frustrating.
