"Apexicon."

What?

"Apex + Lexicon = Apexicon. Simple as that," Jonathan Meyer, designer, programmer, and founder of Actos Games explained. "It's the 'height of all word banks,' basically, an artifact from which all man got the idea about how to use words. It's something of an origin story for a world, which is always a neat concept to start with. This coveted book has been lost to time, and who knows who actually has it? That's one of your goals during the story - to find out."

Apexicon is also the title of a new game being developed by Meyer's indie studio that's now wending its way through Kickstarter. A "puzzle RPG with a focus on story, combat, and world-building," Apexicon challenges you to battle enemies by creating words from a Boggle-style board of jumbled letters. But it's meant to be more than just a word-search game, as the plan for the full release includes town management, NPCs, customizable characters, leveled equipment, cross-platform saves, and more.
