two evenings of pure fun
Wow! Such an amazing game! I liked its originality, freshness and tenderness. This is definitely a game for fellow bookworms and in all good ways reminding me of the Disco Elysium

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales presents an excellent basic idea and is, in general, well executed in its various parts. Just as the bookwalker is sucked into the various books in which he must venture, so it is difficult for the player to leave the adventure before its conclusion, as it manages to be engaging and inviting in its intrigues and mysteries.
Narrative and exploratory aspects certainly prevail, while combat is the weak point of the experience. I would have liked an expansion of some elements of the plot, in my opinion not properly exploited, but I would recommend without reservation The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales to those who want to live a series of adventures that reinterpret in a different light myths and great classics of literature.
