What Should I Play Now?

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales

Image: Steam / DO MY BEST

  • Adventure
  • Puzzles
  • Narrative

A writer who has been banned from writing dives into books to steal objects to order. You explore his flat in first person and each book in an isometric view, with find-the-key puzzles, conversations and turn-based fights.

Why play it now

When you have a few evenings free: there are six books of roughly an hour each and a single ending.

Who it's for

For anyone who would rather explore and talk than fight: sometimes you can avoid a battle by negotiating.

When not to pick it

If you want demanding puzzles: you rarely get stuck, and the turn-based fights are weak.
