Tim Fowers makes immensely appealing titles, with a great combination of clever gameplay and eye-catching design. Paperback and its sequel Hardback are deck-builders in which you use letter cards to spell words each turn. Paperback Adventures builds on its predecessors to create a word-based roguelike battling game—and if that sounds strange, be assured it works like a charm.
You begin each run in Paperback Adventures by choosing a main character.
