There was a really good, sensible suggestion in a recent review: "The only minor point is I think the artifacts in inventory should be graphically represented as icons, probably somewhere on top of screen similar to slay the spire. Even though you don't often carry many, I often forget which ones I have and for that you need to select your inventory and then click in the dropdown menu of a specific artifact, because of course you forget what they do at the beginning." Today, I'm happy to announce that the version 1.4 of Words of Yendor has been released. The equipables are now listed on the To

This quick update fixes a bug that prevented two achievements ("Legacy Retained" and "Mob Justice") from being awarded when they should have been. This explains why only my personal Steam account had these unlocked. I'm not bragging, and I'm definitely not proud of it -- mistakes happen, but I'm committed to fixing everything. Eventually. :) Cheers, Sandor

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43904297/7cb0394439378d0b21456672483ae2fbf2f8aff6.png Among minor, user experience-related improvements, like showing a reminder if you forget to use teleport-swaps in Showdowns, the version 1.3 of Words of Yendor introduces a new variation to hangman puzzles, encountered at Suspicious Accidents. Starting from the 4th settlements, instead of trying to guess just a single word, an almost randomly selected verse from a 19th century poem will have to be solved. But, be careful, in these puzzles a tier-1 letter (the most common letters in English words) can only be submitted as

This small update corrects the cause of a crash, happening at Ambush after making a daring escape using a Flashbang.

I'm happy to announce the release of version 1.2 of Words of Yendor. This free, automatic update features: New encounter: "Hello, Dear Creature – Compassion from unexpected, unassuming sources." New equipable: "Surveyor Goggle" – Predicting scouting failure consequences for the entire settlement. Tactical scouting: Some tiles now provide extra effects to make scouting more interesting. Enhanced consistency:Lighting a candle in a Shrine guarantees the removal of all curses. Previously, each curse was evaluated separately.

This small update corrects a rare bug that has caused a crash when an opponent was defeated in the very first turn using a consumable like Focused Strike, even before composing a word. Another bug has been squished that allowed the unlimited accumulation of Experience and Clues points by exiting and reloading the game just after a successful resolution of a Suspicious Accident. Behold, one more: From now on, if the game crashes, a notification will appear on the Main Menu, letting the player decide if they wish to assist the correction of the problem by sending the archived game state file to

The v1.1 update implements game balance adjustments and generic improvements for the user experience. Showdowns are now (optionally) less cruel. As you know, in this puzzle, each letter swap costs some of your accumulated Experience and Clues points. Once any of these runs out, the price for each swap is the loss of 1 Health. Since this update, while your Health is below the half of its maximum, you'll also receive a teleport-swap charge to give you an extra chance to complete these puzzles. Scouting: An icon reminds you of the risk (or the lack of it) of failure in Scouting puzzles. This is t

Some players have shared their love for Words of Yendor, but some found the Showdown puzzles too hard. Indeed, balancing a game is an art, as players sometimes seek a tough challenge, but sometimes they just want to relax. I'm proudly announcing a solution: a new feature has been activated to make Showdowns more approachable. As you know, when a Showdown proves too tough and you run out of Experience and Clues points for swaps, the adventurer will have to pay 1 Health per swap instead. Thanks to the new feature, when your Health drops below half of its Maximum, you'll receive a teleport-swap c

This small update corrects a game crashing bug that has rarely occurred after solving a Showdown puzzle. The crash has only happened if your Toolbelt was completely empty (so you have used, sold or dropped all your consumables), and a specific type of reward was offered in the Dark Chamber.

I had a game idea in 2016 about dueling with words against the computer. After countless experiments and prototypes, in 2020 I started working on the final version of Words of Yendor. And now it's available for everyone, so as a celebration of this accomplishment the game can be purchased with a 15% discount for a limited time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43904297/0f889450c6de3cab9663398591fd2390ac23d926.png

Thanks to player suggestions, this update introduces a small but meaningful change that improves the gameplay experience for everyone. Each encounter card has an icon in the top left corner that indicates what happens if scouting that encounter fails. Either there is no negative consequence, or the encounter card becomes inaccessible at that location, or, it might happen that the encounter automatically activates, which can be dangerous. Until now, these icons were only visible for encounters that have already been scouted. But with this update, these icons are always visible: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAG

Participating in Steam Next Fest, I'll be broadcasting a recorded playthrough of one of the adventures available in the demo version. You'll discover that narrating a feature-rich and infinitely replayable game like Words of Yendor can be quite challenging, so I highly recommend checking out the demo for yourself. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43904297/45d1c0be70a942892b60b647c885d28f5458f664.png
