"Nonograms are nice little time-killers, especially on the go, which is obviously lost on a PC. Secondly, a touch screen is easily the best way to play. It makes everything so much easier to control, being able to fill in complete lines at a time with a single stroke, which is much harder when using a mouse. In fact, I disliked using my mouse so much I grabbed my graphics tablet and used that instead – much better, but unfortunately a luxury not everybody has access to. Honestly it just feels wrong to play picross on a PC. Using such a large screen for small, simple puzzles and not being able to take them with you is really awful and I can’t say I’ll ever be playing a picross game on the platform again."

About
Run It Back is a single-player indie game where you navigate a looping sequence of events, trying to break free from a repetitive cycle. Each attempt resets the scenario but with subtle changes, pushing you to experiment with different actions and uncover hidden patterns. The gameplay leans into frustration and discovery, as small shifts in approach can lead to unexpected outcomes. There’s no traditional goal, just the challenge of escaping the loop and figuring out why it exists. The game’s standout is its clever use of repetition as both a mechanic and theme. Early access feedback from forums hints at a cultish appeal among players who enjoy abstract puzzles and meta-commentary on gaming itself. With a minimalistic art style and no dialogue, it relies on environmental storytelling and player intuition. Available on PC, Mac, and browsers, it’s a low-stakes experience that’s easy to jump into but designed to linger in your thoughts long after you’ve stopped playing.
