Unwording

Embark on a heartwarming journey through Tom's mind in Unwording, a unique game that combines exploration with word puzzles. Tom views the world through a pessimistic lens, where ordinary objects twist into intricate puzzles that reflect his negative thoughts. Players are tasked with helping Tom reshape his outlook and experience a brighter day.

The arrival of a mischievous yellow bird disrupts Tom's routine, prompting him to solve puzzles while exploring his neighborhood from various perspectives. Each puzzle he completes unveils messages that challenge his irrational beliefs. As players progress, the game showcases three distinct art styles that symbolize Tom's emotional transformations—from 2D to 2.5D and finally to 3D.

Without a single word of dialogue, Unwording conveys a poignant story paired with a soothing soundtrack by Trevor Kowalski, which evolves alongside the narrative. Additionally, players can enjoy an optional “Easy mode” that allows them to experience the story without the challenge of puzzles, making it accessible for everyone.
