idk why but it was so calming for me! really great game!
This was pretty cool, was fun trying to figure out the cyphers!
I did not have the patience to decode any of the ciphers, however I can sort of feel the textures underneath. Very atmospheric and I really dig the main track. Wish I had more bandwidth for it.
I like the idea, and the atmosphere is kinda relaxing, but even tho I tried with different codes, I couldn't get to decypher even one :( It could be because english is not my main language, but I couldn't get the codes to form any coherent word with the cyphers on the book
It'd be great to have some clue, of what cipher to use, or what amount of characters to shift the alphabet. Cool idea and nice execution!
I was not ready for a such hardcore puzzle in the evening, my request is any kind of intro or tutorial. Or I might just not your audience
The music made me stick around when I realized it wouldn't be easy. Did it by hand and listened to that loop. I gave up though, when I saw the third puzzle.
Very cool idea! I like a good puzzle :smile:
Oh this is fun. The third message took me a WHILE because I stupidly paid no attention to the page that could have helped me solve it, but it was even more satisfying when I did. The other ones were enjoyable and straightforward enough with the book.

Not too much to comment on in terms of gameplay, what was there worked well enough. Atmosphere and so on pretty good as well. The only thing is that sometimes due to the resolution it was quite hard to make out some of the letters and especially the Morse code. Other than that, this is a great little game for a relaxed evening :)
It took a while but I managed to beat it! It you get stuck the book has everything you need to solve everything, just run through the tool kit until it hits you. I think I'm def the audience for this game and I loved it!
Fellow Morse code jam submission \o/
Great game, had to pull out the CyberChef for a few of them :)
I love games that aren't afraid to challenge their audience like this. The poems are really sneakily beautiful.
A fun short puzzle game. I wish it had a little decoder machine to help shift the letters rather than doing it manually. The music was nice as I worked through it though.
In these type of games I sometimes wish I had a hint of some sorts or at least a *pizza* :wink: to get me started. The first puzzle was weirdly difficult for me, but then it was a bit easier to follow up. I think these sorts of games are quite difficult to make because they require a lot of investment from the player. Some sort of hint system would be helpful for those who get stuck. However, I personally liked the challenge. The ciphers you picked were very fun! Thanks!
Finally all those cryptography classes I’ve been taking paid off. Love the game by the way
Wow, such a unique entry!
I got stuck on the third riddle, I guess it has something to do with the "Peek into the void" page, and maybe the last one? I couldn't figure it out! But great atmosphere. If you could add some hint, that would be lovely! :D
It took me longer than I expected, but I like these games, sometimes it's useful to rack your brain
Very unique and atmospheric game!
