Interactive storytelling for iOS/Apple Watch has never been this much fun. Explore your environment. Find and collect treasures. Battle rare and exotic creatures. Make your way to the goal (if you can) and complete the adventure! ***** NOTES ***** Glyphica is free, with optional IAP purchases for additional stories.
