No innocents are allowed
No innocents are allowed is a thought-provoking puzzle experience that challenges your observation and reasoning skills. Each level presents a cluttered scene filled with various objects, but only a specific set of them are actually needed to complete the puzzle. Your job is to look at the target hints and then click on everything that doesn't belong, clearing the board piece by piece. The game starts simple, teaching you the basics, but quickly ramps up in complexity, introducing elements that look similar but serve different purposes, and patterns that require careful deduction. What sets this game apart is its focus on elimination rather than construction. Instead of building something, you're taking things apart intelligently. The satisfaction comes from finding that one hidden object that you almost missed, or finally understanding a tricky visual trick. With dozens of handcrafted levels, each offering a new kind of mental workout, it's a perfect game for puzzle fans who enjoy quiet, methodical challenges that reward patience and a keen eye.

Tips for Playing
