This unique action adventure game lets you become Haimrik, a young scribe trying to make a living in a medieval town full of warriors, sorcerers, dragons and dragon-riding sorcerer-warriors. But one book changes his whole life. With the help of Masamba, a hungry lioness who will protect him while constantly trying to eat him, he’ll venture out to take on the evil king and his elite generals, the Word Warriors. Fortunately, Haimrik commands the Power of the Words! These are the stones in the path Haimrik walks, and he brings them to life as he steps on each one, willingly or not. Haimrik will need to activate the right words to defeat the various enemies that challenge him across numerous Word Worlds, with new puzzles appearing constantly throughout the game. In an added touch, Haimrik will undoubtedly die many horrific deaths, leaving pools of red blood contrasting with the otherwise plain monochromatic sepia world. Be part of a medieval revolution against the Word King and his elite warriors, and change the way you see words and stories forever. Features Unique action adventure built upon interactive words. Medieval comedy full of dark humor and over-the-top cartoon violence. Rare sepia view of a medieval fantasy world. Eccentric characters like the lioness Masamba who will protect Haimrik from harm... when she’s not trying to eat him. 

Press reviews: “Em. Gee. The most ambitious fun puzzle platform game I’ve ever played!” MMOHuts “Haimrik replaces the “pixel hunt” of a traditional adventure game with an interactive storybook full of potentially useful words to exploit. (...) There are so many cool ideas here mashed into one game that Haimrik definitely stood out from the pack.” Without the Sarcasm “Haimrik has a really cool idea at its core. If you're into brutal cartoons, then you'd probably dig its personality.” Destructoid 

Notes: Violence and Gore is a common thing in the world of Haimrik. Beware!
