Picme is a 2D puzzle visual novel by RedPink, made in Unity. It combines nonogram-style picross puzzles with stories about several women. You play as a ghost who died unexpectedly and must keep working in the afterlife. Your new boss is the fairy Leaf, who guides you as you help people find lost items. Through five women’s search for their true desires, the game also presents adult corruption and harem themes.
The current build is v0.5, released August 16, 2023, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows and is uncensored. Supported languages include English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and German. The update added six new CG images, the final level and dialogue, and completed the main story. It also introduced automatic translations for Japanese, simplified and traditional Chinese, Korean, Russian, and German, along with system language detection. Some AI-generated CG artwork was revised.
Developer's description
Picme is the classic mix of a puzzle game and visual novel, taking the relaxing and challenging nonograms puzzles(a.k.a picross) and giving the player a motivation by unfolding stories of multiple women.
After dying unexpectedly, you wake up as a ghost, only to find out you will still need to work on the afterlife. You meet your new boss, a fairy named Leaf, that guides you on how to help people find lost stuff. Together you're helping out five women to find their true desires, while corrupting them at the same time.

Game is a hot mess in a lot of ways. Firstly, make some sort of "how to play" info for newbies. Make a setting menu at title. If you skip dialog you miss all gallery attached to said scenes. Once…
