Diary Girl

About

Diary Girl turns your Nintendo DS into a interactive journal filled with games and customization. Use the touch screen to answer quizzes, solve puzzles, and design outfits for your avatar. The microphone lets you record voice notes while playing through story modes. Each day brings new challenges and activities that mix puzzle solving with light roleplay elements. The game blends personalization with casual gameplay but stands out for its early use of DS hardware features. While not a commercial hit, it has a small following for its creative use of the handheld's capabilities. The mix of minigames and diary mechanics made it a distinct entry in 2008's puzzle genre.
