I love playing this game, im addicted to playing it every day!!!1 found this helpful
I really liked this game. All of the puzzles are entertaining, the difficulty progression is very good and the excerpts chosen are all good as well.1 found this helpful
It does exactly what it says on the tin and does it extremely well. If the screenshots look like something you might enjoy, you will.1 found this helpful
I am enjoying trying to guess the work and author as much as I'm enjoying solving the ciphers. And of course because it's all public domain works they are all classics and I feel foolish for missing some that I should have recognised. Which is perfectly fine.
It is a very simple substitution cipher using open source material, but it is well presented and satisfying to solve. Definitely worth buying and playing but probably while on offer or as part of a bundle. Basic yet moreish, like frosted cornflakes...
Interesting quotes, looks nice, cryptograms as expected
