This game is good. Like, unfairly good. The mechanics, worldbuilding, and puzzles all tie together beautifully and seamlessly. The writing is excellent. It's like if you crossed Planescape: Torment with Blue Prince. The aesthetics are flawless. The only weak point is that there's no area map and the minimap rotates with you, so it can be hard to keep track of where you haven't been yet, which is a shame because you don't want to miss anything. Your entire adventuring party can marry a giant Frog King. It might be the best game ever, actually.

Such a cool and unique mechanic to build a game around- and you get quite a lot with what you pay for. But... You gotta be good with words- or like, very persistent. I think I might just be a little dumb. Also, an interesting story. I should probably finish this game completely to give a better review...

A really cool concept for a game - fill in the blanks, decipher the hidden words, and those words you have learned become weapons that you can wield against your enemies! The Cryptmaster is fully voiced, with tons of responses to your single word inputs, and he is very funny. I chuckled multiple times. The devs have also provided an update with a playable card game and collectible cards that can be unlocked or purchased as you play. The Cryptmaster himself allows you to play a fun object-based guessing game to help you fill in those blanks as you go, and there are riddles posed throughout by talking skull statues which are fun to guess as well. I would love to see this whole concept of word-based combat expanded upon. With the exception of some characters that carry shields that block the use of words containing certain letters (very creative) and have armor that has to be broken, I did find that it was a tad too easy (I was able to stun-spam enemies with specific skills, denying them the chance to attack). You do unlock more powerful skills later in the game but I never found that I really needed them. But props to this game for having the only fishing mini-game I have ever enjoyed in a video game since Ocarina of Time, as it is easily comprehensible, easily playable, and catching the fish actually helps your progress through the skill tree. Full of fun secrets and riddles for the committed, this imaginative game is not to be missed if you love language!

Excellent Game! Nuanced, funny, interesting gameplay and excellent soundtrack! Thinking about how many lines of dialogue are needed for the script to run... INCREDIBLE! Bravo Devs!

The game is marketed as a dungeon crawler, and it is that par excellence, but I think in terms of experience it feels closer to a really good stand-up comedy routine with audience involvement. The freeform text input means that you can entertain yourself for a very long time simply by throwing words at various characters, especially the Cryptmaster himself, who is an absolute delight and completely steals the show. Not only is it kind of baffling how many player actions and interactions the developers have clearly predicted, but the way the game responds is often significantly more involved than simply winking at you when it notices you pushing its limits. You can tell that everyone involved, from the writers to the voice actors, are having so much fun. I don't want to be any more specific than that because this is a game best experienced blind, but suffice to say I can't remember another game that made me burst out laughing as often as this delightful, absurd gem of an experience. EDIT: You're going to see that my playtime hasn't increased much since reviewing; this is because I decided to put the game down until I get a better keyboard since I think this *typing* game deserves a little more majesty than a cheap plastic HP thing.
