❤ Captivating Cryptogram Gameplay

Players solve cryptographic puzzles using excerpts from classic literature. At the core of the gameplay is the substitution cipher, where players decipher hidden quotes by identifying the correct replacement letters.

❤ Customizable Difficulty Levels

The game offers four distinct difficulty settings. On Easy, the game provides some initial letters to get players started. Medium, Hard, and Progressive modes offer fewer revealed letters, gradually increasing the challenge. The Progressive mode ramps up the difficulty as players progress through the puzzles.

❤ Intuitive Controls and Mechanics

The user-friendly interface streamlines the puzzle-solving process. Players can use the mouse to click on cipher letters or type directly on their keyboard, with the game automatically replacing all instances of the selected letter. An "Undo" button and the ability to right-click to erase letters further enhance the experience, making it easy to experiment and correct mistakes.

❤ Engaging Variety of Genres

The game features over 400 cryptograms organized into eight distinct genres, including Adventure, Great Thinkers, Children's Stories, Science Fiction, Drama, Notable Quotes, Mystery, and Horror. This diversity ensures players are continuously exposed to a wide range of literary styles and themes.

❤ Seamless Integration with Project Gutenberg

Upon completing a puzzle, players can instantly access the full text of the book from which the excerpt was taken from the vast online library of Project Gutenberg, allowing them to delve deeper into the literary works that piqued their interest.

❤ Relaxing Atmosphere and Soothing Soundtrack

The vintage-inspired aesthetic, with its typewriter-style font and aged parchment, creates a cozy, library-like ambiance. A relaxing piano soundtrack accompanies the puzzle-solving process, helping players to unwind and focus on the task at hand.

❤ Replayability and Ongoing Support

The extensive collection of puzzles and the ability to adjust the difficulty level offer a high degree of replayability. Furthermore, the developers regularly provide free updates that add new ciphers and features, ensuring a steady stream of fresh content for players to explore.
