This is a super fascinating presentation, I really appreciate the UI you set up here. It is super immersive, usually I am a bit let down if a game doesn't have music, but in this case it actually adds to the intense atmosphere during transcription. I did have a bit of trouble with the paper sometimes, it was a bit difficult to grab at first. But it isn't enough to take away from this great presentation. Fantastic work on this, such a cool setting!
I like the vibes. It was cool that you added multiple indicators for the actual morse code to make it easier for others to pick up on it. The added bit of accessibility really helped. I was able to transcribe the morse code fine, but I ran into a bit of an issue when decoding it. I'm assuming that I needed to just type the message out, but the game was not responding to any of my keyboard inputs. I would've loved to try and reach the end, but unfortunately I can't get past that roadblock. Still a really cool game

Sub CommunicationHi! Thanks for your comment!
To start writing, you need to click on the paper, specifically on the part that says "Translate the text here" Now I realize that it's not very intuitive (if that was the problem, because if it still doesn't register your input, I don't know what the problem could be lol)
Anyway, thanks for trying my game!
I definitely clicked on it several times, cause I just started mashing all kinds of inputs (both mouse and keyboard) after a while LOL. But also after coming back to the game after an hour or so, I no longer ran into that issue and could not replicate it, so there's a non-zero chance that my laptop is just cooked.
very sophisticated UI but also a bit hard to work with sometimes; the drag-and-drop system activates when I try to write dashes (maybe drag only on the corners or top part of the paper)
It’s very cool to get a feel of how the job of transcribing morse was historically.
I managed to get past the tutorial but messed up on my first message and didn’t know how to erase/undo, or replay the message. Ultimately 30-60 minutes is too long for me but this is well done and the effort shows.
