Jigsaw Novel - The Job Promotion

Boring puzzle, few pictures, no working achievements.

Jigsaw Novel - The Job Promotion is a small-scale adult puzzle game that mixes straightforward jigsaw solving with a lightly presented narrative. Developed and published by EGC Games, it follows Chantal and her determined attempt to secure a promotion at work. Rather than telling the story through lengthy conversations or complicated visual novel mechanics, the game uses completed puzzle images to advance its scenario. This approach keeps the experience simple and accessible, although the narrative is clearly secondary to the puzzle-solving and mature artwork. The main content consists of 12 jigsaw puzzles arranged as a sequence. Completing one picture moves the player further through Chantal's story, providing a basic sense of progression instead of presenting the images as an unrelated collection. It is an effective way of giving each puzzle some context, but anyone expecting a fully developed visual novel should adjust their expectations. There are no substantial dialogue trees, meaningful decisions, alternate routes, or complex character interactions. The story is essentially a framework connecting one completed image to the next. Puzzle mechanics are intentionally uncomplica…

It's a jigsaw puzzle game and it could be good, but it's not. No increasing difficulty or complexity, always the same track, pieces don't stick very well. It feels like the game was done in one evening and pushed to Steam.

A simple jigsaw game that tells a story.

It's kind of gnarly that there's an entire series of these games, each of them being considerably low effort with those awful 3D model images turned into some kind of generic still life photo.
