Picking Wheat

Picking Wheat is a puzzle game with a simple visual style. You work through the day by completing nine preset walking-puzzle levels, with an optional set of nine short visual-novel chapters along the way.

Visual-novel chapters

The nine chapters explore themes including the self, emotion and gender, using different forms to discuss hidden diseases in modern society. Each chapter takes about three minutes, and you can skip this section.

Puzzle levels

Each level follows simple rules. You move with the arrow keys, and crossing a cube panel reduces the number shown on it by one. Once a panel’s number reaches zero, you can no longer cross it. Your goal is to reduce every panel’s number to zero and reach the end. You can skip the preset levels.

Create and browse levels

You can create your own levels and upload them using a mouse. The level bank lets you browse and try levels uploaded by other players.
