Description

Unwording is a narrative-driven puzzle game about happiness, gratitude, and the power of our thoughts. You play as Tom, a lonely, average guy with a tendency to see the negative in everything. A messy bed screams "give up!", and an empty inbox confirms that no one cares about him. Everywhere he looks, the world shows him what he lacks. Until one day, he forgets to shut his window and lets a little yellow bird into his life. Featuring a soft, emotional score by Trevor Kowalski, Unwording takes you through three very different days of Tom's life, exploring his neighborhood and interpreting his thoughts by solving word puzzles. As his perception changes, his worldview widens, allowing Tom to explore the hidden dimensions of his life.
