About Muse Ingenium

YOU ARE THE MIND OF A LEGENDARY AUTHOR

Tiles fall. You swipe to spell words. The letters fly from the grid to the page, and a real literary masterwork takes shape beneath your fingers, written through you. Muse Ingenium is a cozy roguelite that hides a deckbuilder's worth of strategic depth inside a swipe-to-spell word game.

Every run is themed around one of ten authors, from Edgar Allan Poe to Alexandre Dumas, and their complete, unabridged, public domain text. No excerpts, no invented lore: The Raven, The Art of War, Romeo and Juliet, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Frankenstein, The Odyssey, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, and The Count of Monte Cristo, all fully playable, all verified complete against the original published works. Twelve volumes take you through the same ten authors again and again, each pass harder than the last, taking you further and further into their masterpieces, so the game you finish is not the game you started.
