The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales

Etienne Quist is a writer who has lost the ability to write. To regain his freedom, he takes jobs stealing legendary artifacts from books, with a sentient page named Roderick as his companion. The game alternates between first-person exploration in the real world and isometric adventures inside books. You search locations, talk with their inhabitants, gather clues and objects, craft tools, and solve puzzles. You can also move between reality and fiction, and use ink to alter objects in book worlds. Choices shape how you approach obstacles and interact with characters; some situations can lead to turn-based combat. Each book brings a new setting and set of challenges, while skill upgrades carry forward between chapters.

A writer barred from creating enters fictional worlds to steal artifacts, solve puzzles, and deal with the characters inside.
