Fantastic writing, very well done.

Thanks! The jam's themes were a great prompt.

This is very well written, all the characters and documents feel very authentic. I don't have much experience with puzzles like these so it was a bit intimidating, but I got the gist after a while. I'd love to read a spy novel with this in it so I could watch the main character solve it and appreciate it as an observer, haha. Well done! 

Developer

Thank you! Very kind.

I love how you built all that media. It looks very real. Although I had no time to play it through, it feels like an ARG and I like that. Did you use any engine? The interface looks very versatile, it could even accommodate video and audio.

Thanks! I didn't use any engine -- I was looking at trying to learn one until a random stranger I met at a party very kindly explained that what I was making was basically more of a website than a game so simple HTML would be enough. But you're right -- video and audio would work great with this format in future.
