Press release:
SEATTLE — June 10, 2023.
“The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales“, a gripping narrative adventure from the creators of the indie hit The Final Station, DO MY BEST, and publisher tinyBuild, turns pages on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on Thursday, June 22, 2023, as seen today at the Future Games Show.

A new demo is available now on Steam for those who want to join a writer’s journey ahead of launch.

Step into the world of literature, diving into the realms of text to track and steal legendary artifacts such as the Potion of Immortality, Excalibur, and Thor’s mighty hammer. Guide Etienne Quist, a writer-turned-thief with the ability to travel between fiction and reality in hopes of shortening his writer’s block sentencing.

Traverse through the worlds of six fantastical books, each with its own rules and challenges. Encounter dangerous enemies, elaborate puzzles, and dozens of quirky characters along the way. Be prepared to persuade, deceive or battle anyone standing in Etienne’s path to redemption.

Reshape legendary tales and solve puzzles by jumping between the dimensions of reality and hard covers. Form an unlikely bond with a mysterious caged page imprisoned in a lantern, serving as your invaluable partner-in-crime and guide in this daring adventure.

Find materials to craft items and tools at workstations like a crowbar to open hatches, or break down scattered junk to replenish ink, a bookwalker’s source of power. Face different enemies like the Ink Eaters, shape shifting entities dwelling in the shadows, the undead hiding behind the walls of a wizard academy, and the writer’s police seeking to censor Etienne in turn-based battles.

Navigate diverse and scenic landscapes with stunning graphics, immersive gameplay, and an engaging storyline with a deep narrative. Campaign through different settings from a grim medieval prison to a futuristic spaceship and a snow-capped mountain. Swap between first-person and isometric top-down perspectives depending on the environment.

“The Bookwalker is a must-play game for any literature lover who dreams of diving into different worlds and embarking on an immersive adventure,” said Oleg Sergeev, Co-Founder of DO MY BEST.

“Like a novel, it develops in a compelling and whimsical story exploring a different and unforgettable gaming experience, with twist–instead of a mere reader, players are active participants of a fluid storyline.”

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales comes to PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store on Thursday, June 22, 2023 for USD $14.99. It will support English, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese languages.
