Pre-Release Demo Update
- You can try magic effect tiles and new no-hints modes in the demo right now. - Tile placement feels better now. - If you hover over a tile in the Gifted (hinted) mode you can see possible words containing this tile. - Balance was slightly reworked (some items will be reworked for the no-hints modes soon). Remember, the demo is 2/3 of the run on the easiest difficulty. So if you feel it's too easy try to play the game in the Doomed mode or wait for the full release. - Some visual effects were added. - You can finish your turn by pressing Space and cancel the last action by pressing right mouse button. - I want to add the word definitions and the possibility to rearrange tiles on the board soon.
English is not my native language so I ask community to help me with some in-game descriptions. Please report me about any grammatical errors and bugs you encounter during your play.
Words Can Kill is a solo developed game. I planned to release it before the end of March. But it was hard to work last month because I was totally frustrated by last political events. Although I'm against the war in Ukraine, as a Russian citizen I'm under economical sanctions now. I wanted to add some new music tracks for the game, because some of the current tracks feel very repetitive. But I cannot purchase licenses for music and sounds from international stores because there is no available payment option for my country. I still hope Steam will continue to work with Russian indie developers but there is too much uncertainty now.

Words Can Kill is a fusion of roguelike deckbuilders and word games. But this game isn't about your vocabulary. It's about your decisions and resource management. You will travel through the fantasy world and fight monsters trying to find a more efficient way to use your letters and your gear.
Features
- Indirect synergies. It's hard to consistently use a powerful weapon that requires 6+ letters for bonus activation with a deck full of rare letters and without additional draw sources.
- Plan your future turns. Are you ready for a strong enemy attack on the next turn? Don't use words now, place your letter tiles on the board and wait. This way you can make multiple blocks on the next turn and defend yourself.
- RNG management. Replace tiles in your hand any time you wish. But pay with your health.
- Upgrade your deck. That tile with 'Q' poisons your life. Remove it from the deck on your next visit to the forge.
- Easy to learn, hard to master. The game has simple mechanics but deep strategy. Only a true hero can save the princess!
- Dozens of random enemies, random maps, tons of unique items. And it's a roguelike, so yet another stupid death awaits.
