About The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales
You're a disgraced writer stealing legendary artifacts from literary worlds, jumping between book realms with wildly different rules and meeting their inhabitants as you manipulate reality with the power of ink. This narrative heist game blends puzzle-solving, stealth, and story-reshaping across imaginative settings, all while guided by a sentient page who becomes your crime-committing companion.
Steal legendary artifacts to regain your freedom
Etienne Quist, a once-acclaimed writer, loses his ability to write after he is found guilty of an unspeakable crime. In an attempt to reclaim his lost status, he is approached by a criminal boss with a cunning offer. All he needs to do is locate and steal a series of legendary items from books. Delve into remarkable book worlds, each with its unique rules and challenges. Should anyone stand between you and the artifacts, be prepared to persuade, deceive, or even engage them in combat.
Explore different books and reshape their stories
Each quest thrusts you into an entirely new world: medieval prison, snow-capped mountain, futuristic spaceship and more. Meet the inhabitants of each book and use them to achieve your goals — after all, they are not really alive... or are they? In your quest, you will not be alone, as your paths cross with a sentient caged page, whom you adopt as your partner-in-crime and trusted advisor.
Solve unconventional puzzles across fiction and reality
Test your ingenuity with unique puzzles that encourage thinking outside the box, as you freely travel between fiction and reality, gathering valuable items to overcome obstacles. Using the mystical power of ink, you can manipulate objects within the books, adding depth to your interactions and unlocking new paths to explore.

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales (2023) You play as Etienne Quist, a novelist who lost his ability to write books. He does have a special power - he can enter stories and remove items from them. You work for a underground black market boss who promises to help restore your ability to write if you help him recover certain items from different stories. I have to say, this is a really cool idea for a video game. You get to experience different stories in one game, just short enough to learn about the worlds in the books and to keep asking questions about life outside the book. You have a sidekick called Roderick who helps you with your journey to collect the items, often acting as your voice of reason and your conscious. You have ink with you that you can use to fix certain things in stories to help people or to help you progress easier. You also use ink to fight enemies and you have four skills to choose from. The combat is very easy and can be enjoyable from time to time. When you are outside in the real world you play in first person and the graphics is very nice, and there are lots of small details like your aparment shifting stuff around and new stuff gets added the more book…1 found this helpful
Another great singleplayer experience from the DO MY BEST studio and great storytelling. It's a very good point and click game! I just wish it had more freedom and different endings but still a great story and very creative worldbuild just like the firs game THE FINAL STATION. Waiting to see how they can improve in the next game.
This was great, I throughly enjoyed myself and the process of beating the game. A few of the achievements are a bit dense, but other than that a full playthrough was lovely and extremely interesting gameplay-wise.
A good mechanism and the whole story is decent. but i do not like the linear story like this. my choices not make any sense. nothing difference. but eventually, i have a good time with this one
Very beautiful aesthetics OK length, OK gameplay, OK story
Jogo incrivel.
