Mixed reality gameplay footage of Wordbound, a puzzle game where world objects are pulled apart into letter tiles, went viral last summer with over ten million views across social media. In response, developer Kettle Games is expanding its team to add a Steam release with VR and flatscreen support.
Wordbound imagines a world where every object is made of words. Players pull these objects apart to reveal letter tiles of their spelling, then remix those letters to spell and create new objects. The Quest version will support hand tracking at launch.
A new gameplay video, first revealed at the Creature Feature and Friends Showcase, can be seen here:
Alongside the already planned Meta Quest 3/3S version, Kettle Games has added a Steam release to its plans. From lead developer Andy Bacon:
After Wordbound’s positive reception last year, we grew the team and our vision has become more ambitious. We’re excited to tease this glow up of the game and bring it to a wider audience with the flatscreen version on Steam.
Wordbound can be wishlisted now on Quest and Steam.
