Stumbled upon your game after someone shared a recommendation on Reddit. First of all, thank you! I just finished solving the puzzles, and I'm honestly amazed at how brilliant the design is. Nothing is left to change, everything has a purpose and the way you see the puzzles changes so much with the information you get along the way.

When I realized how the codes on the bottom left of each page worked, I feared it would be impossible to solve as a non-native speaker, but then understanding how each page is themed (including the penultimate and last puzzles which self-reference) made everything make sense. Even the final message is brilliant, each of the even pages has a snippet that works forwards and backwards. Having one of the puzzles be a palindrome really is fitting!

Again, thank you and I hope to see a full puzzle game from you, I'll be lining up to buy it!

Glad you enjoyed! I'm especially happy I succeeded in making it solvable for non-native speakers. I tried to design it that way by avoiding difficult and random lists of cultural items (with the exception of puzzle 1, which is [edit: almost] solvable with Wikipedia).

(I saw the Reddit post this morning thanks to itch.io's bulk statistics on "referrer" URLs, so I figured all the new folks are from there. 190 downloads today!)

Puzzle 1 was indeed the hardest one, that had us going through lists of all the types of cookies. On the bright side, got lots of ideas for Christmas too 😁
