6-Sided Stories is a lovely game for puzzle lovers who want to enjoy a cosy and laid-back gaming experience. Its unique combination of simple mechanics and heartfelt storytelling makes it a winning combination.
6-Sided Stories – A Charming Puzzle Adventure
It’s pretty simple to play. You are tasked with flipping and colouring the hexagon pieces to reveal each picture puzzle. You’re not just solving the puzzles; you are following a delightful journey of friendship led by a brave little cat and an adorable cast of animal companions. It’s the kind of game that feels like a warm, inviting hug.
Easy to Pick Up and Play
The game is very easy to pick up. Each puzzle consists of you flipping the pieces horizontally or vertically. Sometimes, you also have to repaint them, and then you slowly see the image come together. I found it satisfying to solve each puzzle and see its own story while connecting to the next puzzle, building a lovely seasonal narrative of friendship and adventure.
Furthermore, the game offers a nice, steady challenge that is not too difficult and not overly complex. It doesn’t throw frustrating challenges at you but instead focuses on steady, enjoyable progression, with hints always available if needed. Waiting for those tiny wiggles on pieces in need of flipping was a surprisingly fun touch!
Relaxing Atmosphere with Lofi Beats
Another great aspect of 6-Sided Stories is its relaxing atmosphere. The Lofi beats add the perfect background to the puzzle-solving experience, offering chill vibes that make you want to keep playing “just one more puzzle.”
The soundtrack features tracks from indie musicians worldwide and feels like a lovely gift, keeping you immersed without ever distracting from the game itself. If you appreciate games with a sense of rhythm and calm, this is a great play. It’s simple to change tracks when playing 6-Sided Stories; with a press of the X or Y button, you can change the track to one of your choices.
Cute Visuals
6-Sided Stories is vibrant and bright. The puzzles each tell a story that leads into the main storyline. I like how the game looks; after all, who doesn’t like cute cats and animals?
With over 40 puzzles, there’s plenty to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. And the best part? It runs smoothly on the Steam Deck, even though it’s not yet verified. It’s the ideal game to play on the go or during a cosy evening indoors, so the Steam Deck is the perfect place for a quick pick-up and play session. 6-Sided Stories also runs well on PC, and the controls are simple to master.
Conclusion
Whether you’re a fan of puzzlers or Lofi music or in need of a dose of cuteness and relaxation, 6-Sided Stories is well worth your time. It’s a simple, heartwarming adventure that leaves you with a smile and maybe a newfound love for charming, low-pressure puzzles. Highly recommended!
