Probably one of the best chill puzzle games on steam as far as minesweeper-like style of puzzles. I like the art as it fills out and it's pretty satisfying. Definitely worth the price. No idea why this is "unsupported" on steam deck as mine works with this flawlessly.

I feel like this one, in comparison to the other Mosaic style games, lacks style in the final imagery, and most regions were not really that interesting to solve. Also, this is the worst the replay has broken in the end, but none of the games had that work correctly for me. Also, if you fill the last region with an error, the game still offers you the Replay! No idea if this is a common error among the other games too.

Proverbs is a puzzle game unlike most, a slow-burning and thoughtful experience that combines methodical logic-solving with historical art appreciation. Developed by Divide the Plunder, this indie title takes a minimalist gameplay loop and wraps it around a grand, singular ambition: reconstructing a pixel-art interpretation of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s 1559 painting, Netherlandish Proverbs. Rather than delivering dozens of short puzzles, the game centers entirely around one massive grid—spanning over 54,000 tiles—split into more than 250 regions. Each region corresponds to a portion of the larger image, and with every completed area, the player uncovers part of a historical painting along with its corresponding proverb. The effect is both educational and meditative, and the format is surprisingly engaging for a game that asks so little of your reflexes, but so much of your patience. The gameplay mechanics are simple to grasp but grow increasingly absorbing. Drawing inspiration ...

A must play for those Minesweeper enthusiasts out there. The key difference is that it lack the pressure of getting a game over, and aims for a relaxing experience instead.

Fun puzzle game. Challenging and takes a lot of time but you can get the hang of it quickly. Perfect for keeping you busy while listening to music or podcasts.

Very chill game. Really like the slight gameplay difference from classic minesweeper, makes it feel fresh enough to be interesting. Also great pixel art of an old crazy painting, what's not to like?
