Muse Ingenium

Game premise and mechanics

Muse Ingenium is a roguelite word game that incorporates elements of deckbuilding. You take on the role of a literary author, transcribing complete, unabridged texts from ten different classic authors, including Edgar Allan Poe and Alexandre Dumas. Your primary objective is to spell words by swiping on falling tiles, with the goal of surpassing a specific words per minute (WPM) target during each writing session.

Author themes and texts

Each run is focused on one of the ten authors and their complete works, which are verified against the original publications. The texts include well-known works such as The Raven, Pride and Prejudice, and The Count of Monte Cristo. As you progress through the game, you encounter twelve different volumes themed around these authors, with each subsequent attempt increasing in difficulty.
