Paperback Adventures

Paperback Adventures is a roguelike deckbuilding game about novelist Paige Turner’s quest to write her next bestselling novel. You build a deck of letter cards, battle through different genres and face a final boss, collecting rewards and unlocking cards as you win. The story brings unexpected enemies and unique loot as Paige pieces together what is happening.

Word-based battles

Each turn, you choose letter cards from your deck to form a word. Every card provides both a letter and an ability, and the abilities you select determine your offensive and defensive power. Your deckbuilding choices therefore shape which words you can make and how well you can outsmart your opponents.

Items and synergies

During each run, you discover and purchase items and McGuffins to support your deck. The available options are randomized, so you must balance contrasting tools and find combinations that work together.

Characters and replayability

You can play as different genre-based characters, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and playstyles. Progress unlocks powerful new options for your characters and introduces dangerous new obstacles. Each playthrough offers new challenges and synergies to explore.
