Baba Is You
By Hempuli Oy
Move word blocks to change what objects do, then use those rules to reach the goal.

Inside the game
THE QUICK INTRODUCTION
What’s it all about?
A wall does not stay an obstacle simply because it looks like one in Baba Is You. The active word arrangements determine how objects behave, so moving part of a rule can be as useful as moving the character. The puzzle is to find a workable relationship between the language on the board and the physical space around it.
Pay attention to which words can still be reached after a push. A promising rule change may remove the very control you need to finish the level. Small experiments and undoing a move help reveal these dependencies. This is a patient puzzle game: recognising a familiar sentence structure does not tell you whether that rule will help in the current room.
Your kind of game if…
You enjoy logic puzzles that make you question the rules themselves.
