Game overview
Misnomers by Nick Oueijan
A recursive word game where you create a new language, one word at a time! Laugh (or cry) as you define each word from other words and your decisions snowball beyond expectations. Decipher definitions, discover drawings, then use your save file to translate the internet!

About this game Read the full description
what's a "leg³ elbow⁴⁸"?
That's a knee⁹².
Decipher bizarre combinations of existing word²³s
to define new words²³
that will be used in the bizarre combinations of future words²³!
In other word²³s...
What you define now will define things later!
↓
a lovingly weird game⁴
(that just happens to be about words²³)
re-learn/define the names of every-day objects in your life.
It will get strange.
Enjoy.
↓
oh god²⁵³...
that sounds precarious
You heard that right! It's all interconnected and there are NO WRONG ANSWERS so if you call a "chest⁶¹-shaped blanket⁵ skin⁸⁹ tailored to cover your chest⁶¹ and sometimes arms¹⁰⁴" an omelette instead of a shirt, then a pair of underwear becomes a "specialized omelette²⁵³ made just for butts⁶¹".
You get the painting picture⁸⁷?
This game is a snowball³² of your decisions.
↓
featuring plenty to do!
and no one to correct you!
With....
over 700 word²³s to incorrectly identify decipher!
Across 25 levels²
Including collectibles⁷
And achievements⁹
with no timers⁷⁴, no enemies¹⁰
music by my friend Luke Williams
and really (really) bad drawings⁶¹⁸ illustrated by yours truly
....you'll be entertained at least until you aren't anymore!

You know what they say, "Life's what you make name it!"
(no one says this <3)
