Nostalgia’s Pixel Perfect Escape

SUNI wonders: Can a hand-drawn game soothe your soul and preserve childhood wonder?

This charming video game, Nippets, is a delightful homage to the Where's Wally? series. With its whimsical hand-drawn scenes and interactive puzzles, it offers a calming experience that encourages players to explore each frame without rushing.


The game, developed by Blink Industries with artwork from Happy Grove Studio, invites you to interact with the environment through simple actions like petting cats or shaking trees. As you traverse various locations—from bustling cityscapes to snowy ski resorts—you'll witness characters grow and seasons change, adding a layer of depth and realism.


By focusing on observation rather than speed, Nippets creates a unique gaming experience that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Its sketch-like spontaneity combined with polished visuals makes for an engaging gameplay that celebrates the little details in life.


The game's soundtrack complements its visuals perfectly, blending warm lo-fi beats and subtle sound effects to bring the world to life. With a successful demo on Itch.io and now available on Steam, Nippets is a must-play for fans of slow-paced, thoughtful games that make you appreciate the beauty in everyday moments.
