❤ Diary Navigation with Words

You navigate the pages of a young girl's diary by walking on and manipulating the words themselves. Words serve as platforms, allowing you to traverse the 2D environments. This creates a novel and engaging platforming experience, as you must strategically position and use words to progress through each journal entry.

❤ Word-based Puzzles

Beyond the simple platforming, you also encounter word-based puzzles in the diary sections. These puzzles often involve using specific words or combinations of words to interact with the environment and overcome obstacles. This adds an extra layer of challenge and problem-solving to the experience.

❤ Fantasy World Manipulation

In the fantasy story sections, you control the protagonist of Izzy's written adventure, who can use a "magic book" of words to manipulate the environment. By selecting and placing words, you can create platforms, activate mechanisms, and solve puzzles to progress through the fantastical world of Estoria.

❤ Collectible Exploration

Scattered throughout both the diary and fantasy worlds are collectible fireflies. Gathering these fireflies provides an optional challenge, encouraging you to thoroughly explore the environments.
