Charm Studies is a lo-fi picross game about young witches studying magic. You play as Cassia, an airheaded girl who's currently failing charms class... Luckily, Senna has agreed to tutor her! The only problem is she's not very nice... Can these two little witches learn from each other through the magic of puzzles? The game includes a small tutorial for those who are new to picross, but you won't fail if you make mistakes either. You can still see all of the story regardless of your picross skills.

love novels, love picross, great and very short absolutely free game with cute characters and art.
picross is very easy if you are familiar with it, but it was very laggy for me on my phone so it made it harder to play, so it's better to play on pc.
I would recommend it for people who are only getting in picross and for the fans of it too, because why not.

I'm very glad the main character is stupid it makes her feel relatable and makes me feel less bad for being terrible at puzzles.
Ah yes, the one thing Picross fans dont get enough in their lives:
Bullying.
Bullying.
That was super cute. I think the combination of pic-cross puzzles and visual novel worked really well, since the story gave the puzzles a meaning and reason for doing them.
Cute picross game. Haven't played much picross, so it took me way too long to finish completely, but the story was cute. It's interesting to see a slightly bittersweet ending like this
If you have any inkling that you like this game due to it's art direction, then likely you're wasting your time with this review, and should just get to playing it. Charm Studies is not only free, but only an hour long, less if you are familiar with Picross type games.
Charm Studies intrigues me in the sense that it's not only a Picross for beginners type of game, but it certainly helps lend Picross to more visual novel games. I've seen this done with another game, Murdered By Numbers, and overall I'm a really big fan of it. Picross does feel like it lacks an award at times, and with the way this game goes off to explain the little pictures you make while passing it off as studying is really charming.
As someone that is a bit of an avid picross player, I wasn't really challenged with this game, and while I don't think that's a bad thing it certainly can leave many picross fans adrift. There are no where near as many puzzles or difficult arrangements, but the overall mechanics used for Charm Studies helps beginner players understand picross far better than any previous game I've played. If anything, I'd argue this is for fans of picross to send to their friends so they can start getting into it too. The visual novel setting, and quirky characters make for a nice set up, and can really help show why Picross is so fun.
