How it feels
A charming word puzzle game with a light mystery story, where you methodically clear letter grids to help characters descend a skyscraper.

What players say
Players say it is a Boggle-like word game with a real story, good music, and solid characters that eventually gets repetitive. The difficulty spikes hard in the second half, with star requirements that feel luck-based, and the dictionary omits common words like 'Asians' while allowing nonsense like 'ess'.
