Buy Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts PC key

Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts is a creative game about running an illuminated manuscript workshop. You design pages using medieval artwork, ornate lettering and decorative elements, either by fulfilling commissions in Story Mode or creating freely in Sandbox Mode. There are no timers or pressure.

Story Mode

Create your own character and take commissions from prestigious patrons in a kingdom full of gossip. Requests include illustrating battles and romances, decorating love letters and blackmail notes, and designing maps and masquerade balls. As you complete commissions, you help shape a royal drama.

A colorful cast of clients brings requests ranging from battles between snails and knights to scenes of peace, love and the plague. You decide how to fulfil each one in your own style.

Sandbox Mode

Work on blank parchment with the full library of medieval assets, without clients or commissions. The composition screen lets you choose light or dark parchment in a range of shapes and sizes, then drag and drop design elements onto the canvas.

The library contains over 1,000 pictures based on real medieval art, including beasts, bugs, princes, paupers, faces, clothing, expressions, vegetation, oddments and decorative marginalia. Add text with medieval fonts and ornate uppercase letters to finish your pages.

Your workshop

Spend your earnings decorating the workshop with furniture, lighting, tapestries, flowers, windows, columns and carpets. You can also choose a pet companion, such as a cat, dog or tiny dragon.

Save and export

Save your work to your gallery and export it as a PNG optimized for printing and social sharing. The game supports a range of creations, including letters and invitations, tarot cards, coloring pages, desktop wallpapers, fantasy maps and tabletop RPG props and handouts.
