For @thinkygames.com's #ThinkyCon jam, I made The Daily Spell, a daily puzzle with an ongoing narrative. ✨
My goal was to combine satisfying word puzzling with a story you'll be excited to see unfold. Try it and let me know what you think!

When you finally catch wind of that bastard that tried to throw you off a mountain as a baby.
Someone said, “That’s sad” as they walked by. Why would I escape to the metaverse when I could be watching the beautiful sunset in front of me? I was wearing a Quest 3 with passthrough enabled, so they didn’t know I could see the sunset.
