About:
Watchword is the anagram roguelike. Strategically spell real and made-up words while using magical rule-bending books to score massively satisfying combos. Build your deck of letter tiles and find synergies in this endlessly re-playable twist on classic word games.
Story:
In a fallen and future world, we have moved beyond language as a society. Books, magazines, and all literature have become relics filled with a magic that few understand. The Watchguards are a secretive society committed to preserving the great stories of the world. You have been chosen to join their ranks, but can only do so by completing a number of Trials. It will take creative use of magical Books and Letter Tiles to be accepted into their circle.
