Nippets
Leave no window or blind closed. Nippets is a hidden object game inspired by the joy of people watching and telling small stories. Set in a hand-drawn, interactive city, you must open windows, pull blinds and shake trees to find items and return them to their rightful owners. Get ready to pet all the cats.

The Basics
Let’s get down to the basics of Nippets by the creative team of Vatnisse Interactive. At the core, Nippets is a hidden object game with an intuitive context clue-based puzzle system. While figuring out what you are looking for is a challenge, the gameplay is not. The point-and-click style is perfect for a fast-learning play session and the city animal collection counters. There is also a brief tutorial to introduce the click-and-drag element for solving the puzzles.
Why Should I Play
Why should you play Nippets? Fans of mystery-puzzle games who don’t like creepy atmospheres will love the soft, bright world of Nippets. Nippets is the perfect snippet of a game to fit into the busy holiday weeks with a playtime that clocks in under 15 minutes. The puzzle difficulty is novice level, making it accessible to everyone. It is important that you use a mouse and not a trackpad while playing, though, or the map navigation doesn’t respond.

The simple, charming art style with the bright pastel palette makes for a cozy experience. The music is diverse and atmospheric, setting the perfect background for the city adventure. While the puzzle mechanics work the same way for all targets, following the patterns and deciphering the environmental clues always feel fresh.
