In PictoQuest, players journey to Pictoria, a land where legendary paintings have mysteriously vanished. Your mission: recover these missing masterpieces. The gameplay blends Picross-style puzzles with RPG elements, creating a unique and engaging experience.
Picross Meets RPG
The core gameplay revolves around solving numbered grids, similar to Picross. These numbers serve as clues to recreate the hidden images. However, the peaceful puzzle-solving is punctuated by enemy encounters. Your health points act as a timer, adding a layer of strategic urgency. Earn gold to purchase healing potions and power-ups from the in-game shop.
