*You arrive from across the sea in the fetid hold of a rat-infested ship. You have left your friends behind — and with them, your books and the secrets you had uncovered. You are a reader, looking for secrets hidden by forgotten sages between the lines of their ancient tomes. Or rather, you were a reader; who knows what you are now, stranded alone in this foreign land. Perhaps here, unlike back home, there might be some use for your unusual skill?*
The Reader's Encounter is a short story-driven puzzle game about secret knowledge and manipulating words.
