The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales

The Bookwalker is a narrative adventure starring Etienne Quist, a writer-turned-thief who can dive into books. Traverse reality and book worlds to track down and retrieve famous items such as Thor's Hammer and Excalibur in exchange for your creative freedom.

Dive into vastly different worlds as a bookwalker, someone with the unique ability to enter book worlds as though they were dreams. These worlds are more than immaterial fantasies: bookwalkers can bring valuable items from books into the real world, which is exactly your job. Travel between book worlds in search of powerful, legendary artifacts. While these items are less powerful in your world, you can still sell them to buyers on the black market. Explore mysterious castle dungeons, a drifting spaceship, a desert city surrounded by deadly sandstorms, and more. Meet the inhabitants of these places and use them to achieve your goal. After all, they are not truly alive... or are they? Solve a wide range of puzzles, including some unconventional challenges. Some problems demand that you think outside the box, while others require you to travel beyond this world. If you get stuck, wake up in your apartment, where you may find something useful to take on your journey. Inside a book, a crowbar can be as effective against a lock as a key.
