Scribblenauts Unlimited

| Reading time: ~1 minute

Scribblenauts was a game that I first played on the DS, but it wasn't until I got it on the PC that I completed it. The game is simple at its core, made for kids, but there's a surprising amount of depth. You've got a magic notebook and can conjure up any object you can think of to solve puzzles...

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
