Explore a new land with strange creatures! Craft items to solve puzzles! The twist? You the player create the recipes that will determine the necessary crafting ingredients!

Tome of Tholmuch is a puzzle and resource management game where the player must decide how to craft particular items given what they have, or may find, in the wilderness. Follow our main character as they explore a newly discovered island, fill their encyclopedia, document the strange creatures that inhabit this island, and discover world-altering secrets.

Tholmuch is a word that means "discoveries" in the native language of the characters of the game. It is pronounced with an inhale on the 'u,' though inhaling the whole syllable of "much" is easier for us to say.

Tome of Tholmuch is open-level, meaning that a player can travel freely between levels that they've completed and the level they're currently on, while not being able to progress forwards until completing the current level. All of the levels in Tome of Tholmuch are hand-crafted.
