Here is an overview of the game, via Team9:
Word Game is literally a game of words.
Words are not only composing narratives and interfaces, but also representing objects, characters and scenes.
Player controls “I” to challenge puzzles composed of words.
When “I” appears a secret room, in-game narrative clearly tells “I” that “there is no door”. However, in the world of word game, “I” can walk through the “door” because there is a “door.”
“I” should find clues between lines, delete words to change the meaning of sentences, or shift words to rewrite facts. “I” must be wise and brave enough complete the mission of words.
May the best “I” win!
