The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales Review

"The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales" is a premium adventure game developed by DO MY BEST. It follows the journey of a writer's fall from grace and the lengths he takes to regain what was lost. The narrative takes a supernatural turn, offering an intriguing experience. Much like "The Thaumaturge" or "Disco Elysium," this game relies heavily on exposition and episodic experiences to convey its story, with the addition of combat in certain parts for variety.

In "The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales," players embody Etienne Quist, a scribe turned thief, tasked with stealing legendary items from books to redeem his lost abilities. The game unfolds through exploring snowy mountains, medieval prisons, and interstellar spaceships, interacting with fictional characters, and engaging in turn-based combat. While featuring unique puzzles and unconventional problem-solving methods, the game suffers from poor pacing in some areas and lackluster combat mechanics.
