Pick Up the Pieces of a Writer's Life in Unworded
Unworded is not so much a word game as a letter game. In this narrative puzzler, everything is built from letters (and the occasional literary symbols). As its story goes, a writer gets hospitalized after a serious accident and, with his wife at his bedside reading his stories out loud, attempts to reassemble his memories. And to that end, you have to create objects inspired by poetic clues using letters as pieces to the puzzle that is the writer’s life.
Unworded is a story-driven puzzle game. And in order to drive the narrative forward, you have to solve puzzles by building objects out of letters and punctuation marks, using the clues provided through enigmatic poems.
Mechanics
Drag the letters and punctuation marks around to connect them and ultimately come up with a visual approximation of the required object.
Messages
The poem that precedes each puzzle contains clues as to what objects need to be formed from the letters and punctuation marks provided. Stumped? You can tap the "?" button to highlight hint words in the poem.
Motions
Unworded features a minimalist but captivating minimalist art style with animations that help illustrate certain segments of the story. In addition, its background music has a calming effect that is in keeping with its being a no-pressure, play-at-your-own-pace game.
