STOP DOING SUBSTITUTION CIPHERS

- LETTERS WERE ALREADY GIVEN NAMES

- YEARS OF LANGUAGE yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for using anything other than THE ALPHABET

- Wanted to name them anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "NATO"

- "Yes please give me a substitution cipher 'PUZZLE'. Please give me the exact same thing AGAIN." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Designers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the conlangs & cryptography we built for them

(These are REAL ciphers, made by REAL Designers)

Not sure how far into it you are, but the "pits" all have consistent behavior, so you are gonna need to use the tools provided to get across. See what happens if you push and/or step onto them

For this puzzle, yes!

Thanks!

Great explanation! One other thing I'd like to point out is that gur guerr gevor ivyyntr vf nyfb uvagrq ng ol gur cuenfr "erhavgr gur gevorf"!

lol nice

I'm fine with rot13 spoilers here:

There's kind of a lot going on that needs to happen so it's hard to be specific but I can say your goal is on the right track, the other two mechanics are key to the solution since the block is mostly forced to be there.

...

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

It sounds like the game is working as intended, you might just need to experiment some more

oops lol no it wasn't

Thanks for playing! :)

Thank you! To answer your question...

Yes, the puzzle does have multiple solutions, but they should all be very similar! It's just something that I don't want people to know about before they start solving, though, which is why I don't mention it.
