Yeah not bad at all
All the fun of a crossword combined with the fun of a typing tutor. Absolutely hectic.

Cryptmaster
Description
SAY ANYTHING in Cryptmaster - the bizarre dungeon-crawling adventure where words control everything.
In the ancient past, four brave heroes banded together to destroy a terrible evil, giving their lives to save countless others. But now their eternal rest has been disturbed by the Cryptmaster, a capricious necromancer in whose thrall they must ascend through the buried strata of the city above them - the gloomy Bonehouses, mysterious Sunken Sea and freakish Downwood.
With the enigmatic Soulstone in hand, the four adventurers must recover their memories, solve whimsical puzzles and defeat outlandish enemies. From fishing and card games to bardic rap battles, finding the right word is the key to success. Who knows, maybe you'll even remember a little more than you bargained for...

A love of language and unique gameplay is enough to get literati excited for Cryptmaster, while those favoring less cerebral experiences should look elsewhere.

Cryptmaster is a clever blend of dungeon crawling and word puzzles, and might just be the hidden gem you're looking for.

9/10
Cryptmaster is a wickedly clever spin on the edutainment games of old. It combines good old fashioned typing with an underworld full up of gallows humour and eccentrics to meet, including its titular star. Spread the word, Cryptmaster is a must play indie.

Great concept, overstayed it's welcome
It's great from artistic standpoint (art, voice acting, writing, music), and a fine execution on interesting gameplay concept, but after a while it feels like a 1-trick-pony has run out of novelty. I've run out of motivation to keep engaging with it after 10h. Reached 3rd "level". Definitely think such games should be kept short for the sake of pacing.
