What it does

It scales the puzzles from moderately easy to exponnetally hard, so the person will have to think a lot to solve the puzzles, and it's going to reveal more of the story I already had made each time a puzzle is solved. Built for It's for people who love stories, love solving puzzles, love ARGs, and is bored..

What a real user taught us

She tried it and said it was good, but she said that a hint button of sorts to help stuck readers. But here is the thing, comments exist to help the player, which after I told her, she thought it was cool.

A safety issue we fixed

I notice that there is no censor in the comments section, which is totally my fault, so I asked it to add a censor.

What we would build next

I would had added voice acting to fully sell the idea of a guy who has gone into madness, but I don't have a microphone so, yeah.
