A narrative-driven puzzle adventure where every twist in the story feels earned. By the time players cross the 10-hour mark, 92% rate their experience positively — and those who dive deeper never look back.

What it's about: Word game is literally a game of words. Player controls "I" to find clues between lines, delete words to change the meaning of sentences, or shift words to rewrite facts. “I” must be wise and brave enough complete the mission of words. May the best "I” win!

« Good game but too expensive for what it is worth if you are buying in USD compared to other currency. TBH this is the most expensive game I bought on steam but not the one with the most content. Somehow kinda felt 被割(美区)韭菜了。 »

« 非常有创意,看得出来作者在文字上下了很多功夫,剧情体量比我预想的大很多。 整体体验不错。 »

« 利用有趣的文字解謎,打造不斷反轉的結局,感人的故事,用一個一個文字拼凑出令人驚訝的3D動畫和圖片 »

« 很久没有见到玩法让我眼前一亮的游戏了,真的天才! 故事本身虽然简短,但是通过全文字展现的方式十分惊艳。谜题围绕文字的组合,拆解,顺序打乱来设计很有意思,瞬间让人感受到汉字的魅力。 唯一不喜欢的地方的是确实有些谜题的解题方方法非常强行,不去沉思三下是根本没办法想到的(一些词语的语意很难联想,尤其是中央大厅那里),如果一个谜题能有多种方式解题就好了(多个不同偏旁,以及一些复杂字能拆更多部分出来) »
