Description
_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 mysteries 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. Maybe 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.
-
The game has a built-in hint system; hints become active after 5 manipulations on each level. If you are stuck and the hints do not help, see the walkthrough here:"https://pastebin.com/VwrEjUBH" (caution: major spoilers!).
How to Play
Create a new word by dragging letters to swap them and clicking/tapping to delete a letter.

You may need to give another hint.. I got stuck on "strange creatures"
Yes, this level seems to be more challenging than I intended it to be - apologies for that! It was rather tricky to come up with word combinations that worked in the context of the game. Did you check out the walkthrough?

(1) 5/5, please tell me there's more being developed! Simple, but fun, with a real story!
(2) It would be nice if we could place letters where we like, moving remaining letters one to the right, instead of swapping.

I would love to see this developed more into a proper story, with multiple branching paths and routes. The potential is there, the maker needs to decide if they want to continue. Thank you for this.

I nearly was stuck there, too. How about "supernatural creatures"?
