You’ll quickly learn the basics of exploration and creative solutions to each room. Given the games mechanics rely on point-and-click and puzzle solving, NAIRI relies heavily on a strong narrative to propel the game forward and keep the player interested. I do admit that in the first hour or so of the game it felt like it was going through the motions, however once Nairi travels back to the city and enlists the help of Rex, a clever rat and former gang leader, that almost mundane and tired story immediately jumps and the next set of puzzles and challenges are where the hooks really sink in.

This is a game rich with history and narrative potential, it just takes a bit to get it to start flowing onto the screen. Solving the more complex puzzles becomes incredibly satisfying, and the interactions between Nairi and the cast of characters the game has to offer do well to show her naivety as a sheltered young girl learning about the real world around her. It’s a game that offers a lot of small rewards and feel good moments. The story admittedly starts a little slow, but there is also a whole lot of story to set up.

Nairi finds herself stranded in the Great Desert beyond the city and has to try and smuggle herself back into the Rich District to try and reunite with her parents. Along the way, she teams up with some cat bandits, a rodent scholar, and a gang of ducks… just to name a few. Each character is unique, and the cartoony, hand-drawn feel of the character portraits make a nice contrast against the beautiful, painterly feel of the backgrounds. The gameplay is classic point-and-click adventure, though with a few changes, to allow it to work on the Switch.

Tons of adorable hand drawn art which is sure whet the appetite of ‘Studio Ghibli’ or ‘The Last Airbender’ fans!

You can play two ways, either using the thumbsticks to move a cursor around the screen (there are no options to use gyro or motion controls), or you can simply tap the screen. While tapping the screen is quicker in handheld mode, using the thumbsticks to move the cursor around the screen gives you a bit of useful iconography, since the cursor changes to an arrow to signify exits, a magnifying glass for things to inspect, a hand icon for things you can interact with–as well as for things you can’t.

Drive a character to give you a hint, so it’s worth trying to interact with everything you can. Nairi: Tower of Shirin is told through on-screen text which at first might sound rather uninteresting and dull, but there’s a charm to the way the game tells its story. It’s a visual novel that boasts beauty in its simple, yet captivating art style, using character avatars and subtle text manipulations to convey emotion and drama through voiceless dialogue. Quiet self-thoughts are illustrated as timid fonts, with loud speech being larger than normal.

A cute yet melancholic graphic adventure: a captivating story with depth that appeals, regardless of age… or species!

For example, red usually indicates an enemy or an important object. You’re able to read through the text at its standard rate, but a skip feature allows you to hold the X button —on the Switch— to make the text speed by. Nairi: Tower of Shirin may feel as if there’s more reading than playing, but really the balance between story reading and gameplay is well crafted. You’re required to go through various static frames of a location, some allowing you to venture through doorways or openings that lead to another area with slightly animated characters.
