Dark Mysteries & Animal Pals Come Together in ‘NAIRI: Tower of Shirin’

A former upper-class lady and her gangster-turned scholar pal Rex will find adventure (and cute new furry buddies) in the pretty world of NAIRI: Tower of Shirin.

NAIRI: Tower of Shirin takes players to a hand-drawn land of endlessly adorable animal people, all making their way despite some of the troubling happenings going on. You’ll need to solve puzzles and problems throughout this endearing land, collecting items, helping folks out, and figuring out some mysteries as well as confounding mechanisms.

All the while, NAIRI: Tower of Shirin is relentless with its cuteness. Tiny people and tiny penguins and tiny mouse buddies abound, endlessly filling your life with more adorable things. Sometimes, though, there are some slightly scary things, though, as you are helping out a high class lady who’s suddenly found herself living among the gangs and scoundrels (who are still SO CUTE). There’s been some sort of unsettling, underhanded business going on, so be prepared to deal with that among all of these charming critters.

NAIRI: Tower of Shirin aims to charm fans of mysteries and puzzles with its chipper cast of creatures and cheerful art style.

NAIRI: Tower of Shirin is available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop and Steam.
