/vr/ - Retro Games

Though JP-only, Korkoro Post Nin is a game that anyone can play and everyone should play, a simple but highly addictive puzzle title. The protagonist is a cute mail delivery girl who for some reason lives in a town made up of complex vertical mazes presented with 2D sprites and visuals. The goal of each level is to reach each of the red mailboxes in the stage, at which point you can advance, but there are also other optional collectibles.

You don't actually control the girl, though; rather you control the maze itself, which can be rotated left or right in order to guide the mail girl to her destination. (I'm sure there are other puzzle games with this exact set-up but I can't think of another one right now.) There are obstacles and enemies as well which will spell your doom if you run into them, but time limits will prevent you from planning out complex strategies and instead force you to improvise as you get a feel for the game's pacing.

It's supremely addictive and entertaining and you don't need to know a word of Japanese to play.
