NAIRI: Tower of Shirin is a classic visual novel in which plot is conveyed through dialogues enriched with 2D portraits of characters. However, the title has elements of a logical game and point-and-click adventures. Each location visited by Nairi is shown as a single illustration. Players can interact with elements of the environment by selecting them with the cursor. You can collect and combine found items and then use them at selected locations. There are also various kinds of puzzles.
NAIRI: Tower of Shirin has an intriguing graphic design, combining the style of typical fairy tale illustrations for children with cartoon drawings. The world's projects are inspired by Middle Eastern cultures. It is worth noting that all dialogues present in the game have no voice-overs, so while playing, we have to rely only on the text.

Nindie Spotlight: 7.5 / 10 by Nindie Spotlight
There’s something about Nairi that feels great that I can’t quite explain. The art and personality of its characters is consistently endearing, the puzzles feel mostly organic rather than forced or plain weird (at least by genre standards), and it’s simply satisfying to play. While not all aspects are perfect and there are spots where it can drag it still has managed to carve out a legitimate spot for itself among the many titles in this genre on Switch.

There's a good chance you've probably never heard of NAIRI: Tower of Shirin, but that doesn't mean this hidden gem should pass you buy. Sure, it doesn't have the pedigree of a Double Fine game or the licence exposure of something from TellTale's back catalogue, but it still offers up a safe and engaging world full of quirky characters, challenging puzzles and all the screen-tapping backgrounds you could ask for. It's no great reimagining of the genre, but it's still a curio worth playing nonetheless.
