Completely hand-drawn, the beautiful look of Nairi: Tower of Shirin is its strong point. With several items, puzzles ranging from very simple and some more complicated and a first-rate soundtrack, the game is interesting, despite the simplicity.

However, the long dialogues unfortunately make the game tiring, as they are made as static animations. This style of drawing has no problem when it is used in chats that put the player in action, that is, making choices with the character. Only in this case, they are just scenes in which the player will be just clicking and reading the story. The fact that it does not have a subtitled version

The challenges are simple and logical. Some are very evident, others more hidden as something behind a curtain and even those who need other items to be used.

Anyway, Nairi: Tower of Shirin is an interesting and fun game if you don't want to spend hours in front of the screen. And yet, he keeps his curiosity in knowing what will happen to the character, such as a good Pixar animation and Anime adventures.
