Genre and what to do:
Word game. Welcome to Bookstories that offers players to help a lovely librarian to collect lost books and restore the scientific library. The game board consists of a grid with different letters. Your task is to find words from the given list. Words can be placed in straight lines horizontally, vertically or diagonally. If you are stuck and can.t find a word you may use hints. There are two game modes: Quest and Relaxing. Quest Mode invites you to help the sexy librarian restore library and she gives you awards ( just 10 trophies, nothing else ). You play levels with time limit, increasing difficulty and random themes. Relaxing Mode is good to rest after a difficult day. You select grid size, theme and enjoy the game without time limit.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
Bookstories is a challenging word-seeking game that features colourful detailed graphics, diverse sound effects and relaxing guitar music. As for graphics, it is well done; backgrounds, trophy room and even main menu are designed in book-style that looks original and appealing. I would like to point out that there are 30 different word themes, such as cars, holidays, chemistry, etc; it make the game much interesting. Another highlight is trophy room, where your awards are posted, so you can see them at any moment. All in all, Bookstories is the worth-playing game with multiple twists that brings tons of fun and helps to develop visual memory.
