If you like words and typing, and typing words then this is the game for you! But if you prefer other boring stuff like cool visuals, excellent sound design, fun characters, great voice acting, excellent writing and a fun, word-based, hangman-style system for combat and character evolution then this game also has that. I guess. If that's your kind of thing. Whatever.

Fun riddle game, there is a version that lets you play it in turnbased mod if you are new to typing fast. Some of the words are basically unknown to non native speakers but i still got through the game, just had some issues with some of the optional deep riddles

Ultimately this is not for me. If you like word games, ignore my review, but for anyone like me who got sold on this game despite not really being a "word game guy" (not into scrabble, never liked typing of the dead, etc), then I would caution you. There is a lot to like here. The puzzles to figure out what a word is in the chest to get some hints as to what your characters' moves are is a fun system, I liked that…
