thanks a lot!!
there's actually a few games we took some inspiration from - namely Chants of Sennaar, Homicipher and 7 Days To End With You, which all require you to decode a language based on context clues, but each with a different flavor. and we think our game does it in its own, original way, too, but if you liked it you might wanna check them out!!
the fact that you barely managed to finish it means we probably set the timer right, then ;p
