Picking Wheat

⠀

Its a visual novel puzzle game. With the puzzles starting of baby easy. With the later ones where you have to use your 2 brain cells to think but its still easy. The story is okay but not to interesting. I beat the game in less then 20m. Which should be saying alot of the lack of content. This game is missing alot like settings and a good ui. I do not suggest playing this game. It is a waste of your time. // Translated using DeepL // (Doing this just so the Chinese readers can understand my review to the most part. 它是一个视觉小说的益智游戏。谜题开始时很简单。到了后来，你必须用你的两个脑细胞来思考，但还是很容易。 故事还不错，但不太有趣。我在不到20分钟内就打败了游戏。这应该说是内容的缺乏。 这个游戏缺少很多东西，比如设置和一个好的用户界面。我不建议玩这个游戏。它是对你时间的一种浪费。

"This game is mainly composed of two parts: you are forced to watch some author's nonsense, and some simple puzzle levels." At least they are self-aware a bit. The puzzles are ok, the visual novel bits are nonsense and the map editor is completely broken. You can upload uncompletable maps as you don't need to beat them before uploading. Moving a piece of the map knocks others into the void destroying your map forever and the UI of the player-made maps is buggy as hell. I don't know if this is some ironic masterpiece I'm too dumb to get, a s***post, or just genuinely bad.

"Picking Wheat" is a frankly garbage tier e-book combined with a simple mobile app like puzzle game. From China. What do you do in the game? You read a really pointless "Look I'm weird!!!!" "artistic" bit of e-book/visual novel drivel then you can play a simple number grid square tile map puzzle game. There's a level editor but it doesn't work. That's it. Might as well have been a mobile app, but Google Play has a QA department where Valve doesn't. The graphics aren't great. That's understandably be turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. On pricing and value for gamers, this isn't really free as you're expected to pay up $1 USD to buy cosmetic DLC. Clearly the developer set out to profit from making this game and locking content, even cosmetics, behind DLC while still pretending the game is free is somewhat misleading to gamers. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Ste…

puzzle gets harder as progressing.

[h1]Before I played Picking Wheat, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
