Unwording is a new puzzle game by Frostwood Interactive, where you explore the life of a solitary person named Tom. Usually bogged down with incessant self-doubt and negative perceptions, Tom is surprised one day by an unexpected neighbour; a small yellow bird that makes a nest on his windowsill. This friendly animal soon becomes the catalyst for drastic change and Tom is able to explore his feelings in ways he hasn’t before.

As with any guide, the information below contains spoilers so be warned.
