In Verbis Virtus

You play a wizard searching a lost temple for an ancient power, exploring its chambers and uncovering secrets about the temple and yourself.

Cast spells by speaking Maha’ki into a microphone. Learn spells with different uses, then apply them to solve environmental puzzles, escape traps, and reach new areas.

Explore the temple and face the monsters that inhabit it, including bosses. Progress by discovering spells and working out how their powers apply to the obstacles ahead.

In the supplied reviews, players especially enjoy casting spells with their own voices, calling the mechanic unusual and immersive. Some also like discovering that newly learned spells can open routes that first seemed inaccessible, as well as the temple design and parts of the puzzle progression. Others find the puzzles cryptic or the difficulty frustrating, and some report inconsistent voice recognition.
