I found this to be a really cool and interesting feature despite others not seeming to enjoy it.

The game is aging, and activity on the social media accounts has stopped since around May of 2023, meaning that for some solutions, you will need to look up guides because microfilm archival sites are paywalled and spammy or nonexistent, map websites are no longer easy to use functionally like drawing lines while keeping certain points of interest visible and in frame (good luck searching for specific map apps that can do this easily), the game continually generates new codes where postings of such ciphers has stopped, AI tools are not capable of correctly deciphering simple strings given most of the information, etc. Some things can be learned by using actual real world libraries, like the King James Bible whereas other versions do not use the right words, or understanding simple Caesar-based…
