Tunic
A little fox, a big world and a game manual written in a language you cannot read. Yet.
The journey
You explore an isometric world as a small fox, finding pages of an in-game instruction manual. The manual is mostly in an invented script, but its pictures and maps slowly teach you secrets hidden in plain sight.
Who should go
Players who like secrets, puzzles and the feeling of finding something nobody told them about.
The manual
Collect the manual pages and actually read them. They reveal mechanics, maps and hidden areas you would never find otherwise.
Tough combat

Some puzzles last the whole game. Keep notes; you will be surprised how much was in front of you.
