    Overall, while I was originally quick to put down Little Problems: A Cozy Detective Game as a basic and naive attempt at a game, I was quickly won over and truly believe it’s a game which people should give a chance. It’s got scope, both in mechanics and story, for a sequel and I can’t wait to see what the studio does next.

    It makes the puzzles in Little Problems a real challenge to solve, but they tickle your mind as you progress. While some solutions are simple, others are head-scratching, and in the mix of clues you’ll eventually find your answers resolving. It’s a wonderful, satisfying process, and one that gives Little Problems a real spark. This game doesn’t do much different from others in the puzzle-mystery genre, but with its warmth, and the depth of its many challenges, it’s a wonderful adaptation that’s well worth playing for puzzle enthusiasts.
