Battle of the Linguist Mages

Scotto Moore

8.0 / 10

Isobel is the Queen of Sparkle Dungeon, and has been since the game’s first release. She’s retained her title across all three sequels, and the combination of her in-game magical spell utterances and her real-world dance moves have seen off all pretenders to her throne. Of course, playing to her level requires dedication as well as skill. And that sort of time-sink doesn’t help when you really should be out working to pay the rent.

So when the marketing company that promotes Sparkle Dungeon invites her in to play-test Sparkle Dungeon 5 for a fee, it seems like the perfect fit.

But Isobel will soon learn that her in-game spells and her real-world dance moves are part of a bigger picture. A much bigger picture.
