About Unwording
Unwording is a word-puzzle game about Tom, whose lonely, glass-half-empty outlook turns everyday objects into complex puzzles. You solve them as their answers spell out irrational, defeating messages, and explore Tom’s neighborhood from multiple perspectives to help him work through his negative self-talk and thought patterns.
One day, Tom leaves his window open and a mischievous little yellow bird enters his life. Its antics cause chaos, prompting Tom to see his surroundings differently; as his mindset changes, his life and the world around him transform. The story is told without dialogue, through puzzles that change with each in-game day.
Art and sound
The game uses three art styles, from 2D to 2.5D to 3D, to reflect Tom’s inner world. Its soundtrack by Trevor Kowalski evolves as the game progresses.
Word puzzles
The puzzles change as each in-game day passes and tell their own story. An optional Easy mode lets you focus on the story rather than the challenge.
