    everything's a roguelike deckbuilder these days, even if they aren't or shouldn't be. this plays like letter quest (the undisputable king of the genre) or bookworm adventures (also good but no word definitions, just like here, and it's not available for purchase anymore), except when you die, you start over because that's always more fun than making progress. also, the demo quietly got removed after release. always…

    A neat little scrabble-adjacent type game. It's a little clunky and slow in certain moves, but it's entertaining.
