Words of Yendor

About This Game

Unravel the mystery of the Word of Yendor in these procedurally generated adventures, and if you dare, also explore the secrets of the White Steam or the Black Smoke perspectives.

Explore settlements, solve word puzzles, and find your way to the local Master Villains usurping crucial elements of the mystery. Use your word-solving skills to navigate dangerous obstacles and gather resources. Engage in turn-based word duels against opponents with a unique tactical combat system.

Each ending is tailor-made, offering a personalized experience. How is this possible? By leveraging the world’s most powerful content creation system!

• Turn-based, procedurally generated adventures
• Detailed, highly configurable hero/heroine portraits
• Multiple types of word puzzles and word duels, forged into a coherent game system
• Duel opponents that also compose words from the same pool of letters as you
• Words that can literally hurt or mend
• Mini-adventures in space-time and in the afterworld
• Collection and crafting of items and upgrades, as well as optional theft and trade of poignant curios
• Dynamic, often dramatic or humorous story, yet it’s always meaningful and personal

• A typical adventure can be completed in 30–90 minutes, depending on the complexity level of your choice. Just like a game of chess, Words of Yendor offers endless replayability, providing unique and thrilling adventures each time you play.
• Your progress is automatically saved, allowing you to contemplate the challenges for as long as you like. The game remains unaffected by the passage of real time.
• Note that embracing the spirit of roguelikes, this is also a “permadeath” game, so if your hero falls, the game is over. However, if you enter the same adventure seed number, you can replay any adventure as many times as you want.
• It’s never just one of the “red, green, blue” endings. Each one is personal and unique!
