Voxelgram is a 3D nonograms game where solving puzzles feels like sculpting in three dimensions. Reveal voxel models as you complete each challenge.
Players sculpture 3D voxel models by following logical hints in this Picross/Nonogram variation. The game takes the classic 2D grid-based puzzle genre into the third dimension, challenging players to consider the puzzle from multiple angles.
Despite the added complexity, the controls feel intuitive. Players can easily rotate, manipulate, and navigate the 3D puzzles using the mouse. A helpful feature allows players to temporarily hide or show individual layers, letting them focus on specific areas without getting overwhelmed.
One of the game's standout features is its relaxed, no-pressure approach. There are no time limits or penalties for mistakes, empowering players to freely experiment and explore the puzzles at their own pace. This creates a meditative, calming experience centered around logical deduction rather than trial-and-error.
The difficulty curve provides a good progression. Early puzzles serve as a gentle introduction, tasking players with solving interconnected 2D grids. As the game progresses, the later stages and user-created workshop puzzles become significantly more complex, requiring sophisticated reasoning and deduction skills.
Solving each 3D puzzle rewards players by integrating the completed voxel sculptures into larger diorama scenes. This satisfying loop of building the individual models and watching the environments take shape keeps players engaged and motivated to continue.
The game further extends its longevity through robust Steam Workshop support, allowing users to create and share their own custom 3D puzzles. This virtually endless supply of new content ensures the gameplay remains fresh and engaging for experienced players.
