About DELETE AFTER READING
DELETE AFTER READING. CHEATING DESTINY.
From the creators of Unmemory comes Delete After Reading, a text-based puzzle narrative adventure full of humor, adventure, and mischief. Enjoy a unique mix of literature, puzzles and escape room mechanics with a ragtag bunch of adorable cartoon characters in the adventure of their afterlives – saving the only copy of one of the most influential games ever made from the machinations of Destiny itself, who doesn’t want anyone meddling with reality!
On the worst day of your life, you find a strange device with a file named Delete After Reading.
It’s a classified document. Nina, Cinco, and Tomate, a clandestine group of kids, want you to join them on a secret mission to fix Destiny’s latest injustice: the despised billionaire Martin Skrilhlex has stolen the only existing copy of the highly coveted video game The Curse of Penguin Island so that only he can play it. Only by joining forces, this group of friends will learn how to shape their own destiny while knowing there are consequences for their actions.
There is one small detail, though. Nina is a ghost girl. Cinco is a goblin rapper. Tomate is a rabbit who claims to be the reincarnation of a certain blues brother. And with this peculiar band, you have to find a way to beat one of the wealthiest men in the world and the personification of Destiny itself. Just what you needed to make your day.
You’ll have to sneak into the magnate’s mansion and steal back the video game, so kids around the world can enjoy it. Easy as pie, right? If only Destiny didn’t have the power to know everything you’re doing and planning… For this mission to succeed, Destiny can’t discover that you are changing his plans – so never, ever, ever forget to delete after reading!

Neat short interactive fiction puzzle game, all the clues you need can require a bit of backtracking, either within the same page or other pages but none of them are permanently missable. HOWEVER: The game has accessibility issues, most notably the audio-only cues which lack captions, and the final chapter, which features unskippable QTEs and a time based puzzle which may prove challenging to those with a poor sense of time, where if you fail any of them you need to restart the chapter. (At least said chapter is relatively short, especially compared to chapter 4) ALSO: There is no save system within a chapter, you need to play a chapter in its entirety in one sitting to progress. Overall, still positive, but keep those drawbacks in mind, especially if QTEs or lack of captions bother you5 found this helpful
A short puzzle interactive ebook, with the same puzzle mechanics but a much lighter tone than the previous game of the devs, Unmemory. The game felt like a step down compared to its predecessor. It had a lot less content (only 4 chapters), there was no subtitles, and the game only autosaved after completing a chapter which doomed the player to replay a whole chapter if he quits the game before completing it. But in all, despise its shortcomings, I enjoyed it. I really like the very innovative puzzle book mechanics that offer a very unique gameplay that I havent seen in other games.1 found this helpful

Cute Game
Super fun, silly, and wasn't terribly hard. It was a fun 2 hours
Some puzzles were tricky and others were like yay I solved it. I love the witty humor in this game and the story it self was just that good!
