Falling into a good book is big trouble for the hero of Lynn: Girl Drawn On Puzzles. To save your little brother from a plague, enter the magical diary of the Nine-Tailed Fox and solve hand-sketched slide puzzles steeped in East Asian folklore. Each chapter reveals more of the mysterious story – and brings you a step closer to curing your sick sibling.

What we love: The stunning visual design. The Nine-Tailed Fox’s puzzles – brushstroke mazes on virtual parchment backgrounds – feel like delicate works of art. And the bonus puzzles in Acorn Story (featuring a parallel tale about a cute and curious chipmunk) are bursting with vibrant colours.

Quick tip: The symbols on the upper right corner are Chinese numerals depicting how many moves you have left to collect all three orbs. Learning them can be especially helpful!

Meet the creator: An 18th-century painting titled A Hedgehog Stealing a Cucumber inspired South Korean indie studio Dotoris to combine traditional Asian art with puzzle-game mechanics.
