Gameplay
editWhile playing In Verbis Virtus, the player finds themselves completely unarmed in a dark dungeon with several dangers. The only way to overcome the obstacles is to learn magic through inscriptions that they find along their path. The magic formulas found, if pronounced correctly, enable the player to perform various spells. The spells are used to solve puzzles, overcome traps and kill enemies.[1]
Language
editThe developers created a fantasy language for the game called Maha'ki. The meaning of Maha'ki is "language of the gods", where "maha" means "creator deities" and "ki" means "voice, language".[2]
Reception
editThe game received little attention from the reviewing press so far. It was rated 80% by Multiplayer.it and 65% by Everyeye.it.[3] Therefore, no Metacritic aggregate score is available to date.
Trivia
editVoice controlled spell casting is integrated using PocketSphinx speech recognition engine from CMUSphinx.
