hiiii Irochelle thanks for playing it!
To help, I used websites like dcode and Cyberchef!
theres ADFGX (key is Gareth), Vigenere (key is Gareth and the other at the starting room being Anu), used Default Keys/Ciphers on Cyberchef so you just plug that in there and click decode in encryption/encoding section (its the more uncommon ciphers only), I also used dcodes default Solitaire Cipher in one of them, and just classical ciphers used:)
Homophonic, no transposition, no reversing (as far as I can remember) or anything like that, I think I used an Ubchi, used Fractionalized Morse Code, no VIC or straddling, and you can ask for help on something like r/code & r/ciphers too on reddit, and also best to not rely on ChatGPT as it can hallucinate (as in like imagining an output, when its not the right solution) so yeah!
They’re also located on the same areas at different times in the house such as the random walls near the doors and the corners and the bookshelves and paintings, and the numbers/letters are known as Hexadecimals too (such as something like 0d0a, and so on) and others include simple decimal or octal, and the super long texts are Base64.
I also do not know how to make interactions easier I just tried to make it simple as just walking around activates them, and yeah about the key it specifically happens when you go to mum and dads room but I forgot to change the teleportations when going to other rooms reactivate to a different room which goes back to the beginning of the game so you’d have to go back to the room to activate it l. and I also did not know how to pick up a key and do certain stuff so I made a workaround by having the same looking rooms but in reality you’re sent to a new one which explains the key problem too:)
I also wanted to have subtle storytelling like:
-Anu, and few Inuit Mythologies that you’ll have to look up describing a few things and the excerpts directly from John Dee, for which also at the end of the game where it goes K-4N-4 = like a rotating Hypercube which he discovered in late 1500s so I tried to refer that as a cycle of some sort too, there’s also something hidden which I hope you can find, some sort of storytelling visible and the reason why I made this in the first place!
