The Daily Spell

[radiantfracture]

I stumbled across this well-spell-crafted game whilst wondering around itch.io: The Daily Spell, a story about a sudden surge in magical beast manifestations in a fantasy city, told through daily word puzzles that resolve into the headlines of brief newspaper articles that advance the story. Quite delightful and very well done.

That's a wonderful conceit!

Thanks for the link! I tried it out. Interesting that it’s constrained by columns rather than fully scrambled.

Yes, it isn't very difficult, especially if you like cryptograms and that sort of puzzle, but I thought it was well put together.

I'm not sure that I'm up to it at the mo, but I'll show it to my wife. I'm sure we'll be playing it. Thanks!

The nice thing (for me) is that while there's a bit of fun faffing about, it's not very difficult - you can solve it in a minute or two, and then read the bite-sized bit of story. Really well-designed that way.
