Overview
Aili Is Here is a cozy logic puzzle from developer 550 Atelier, released on October 15, 2026. The game casts you as a teacher who, each afternoon, opens a record book filled with clues left by students.
Your task is to place every student on a school map based on their messages, such as "I'm in the reading corner" or "I'm further west than Rin." When all positions fit, you've found Aili.
It's a gentle, thoughtful premise that turns a simple hide-and-seek into a satisfying mental exercise.
Highlights
- 60 days of logic puzzles that grow from a 3×3 grid to a 10×10 grid, each with exactly one solution.
- Simple rules: exactly one person in every row and column, with clues from messages, area headcounts, and furniture.
- A helpful hamster named Hoshi who can give you a nudge when you're stuck.
Who It's For
If you enjoy puzzle games that are relaxing rather than frantic, Aili Is Here is a great fit. The difficulty curve is gentle, making it accessible to newcomers, while the larger grids will challenge seasoned logic puzzle fans.
The cute anime art style and cozy atmosphere also make it a nice pick for players who like casual, feel-good games. It's a single-player experience with Steam Achievements, adjustable text size, and camera comfort options, so it's easy to play at your own pace.
