We based our game ideia in the use of the encrypted morse codes during ww2 and its tecnologies to decipher it

To make more realistic, we tried to use the real morse codes letters searched for the types of use of it during war, such like the kind of requests and codes

The controls weren't very comfortable, and for some reason, I just couldn't interact with the map in some tries. I did manage to decode the code and coordinates fine, but it would have been nice if the cypher and the code looked the same. There seems to be a very small margin for it be "rightly" dialed in, as pictured in the image above. The room itself looks really well-built! Thanks for the entry!

Great graphics but I had a lot of trouble trying to play.

I am left handed so the WASD & E keys were a nightmare. Also, the speed of movement from moving the mouse was painfully slow.

I managed to receive and decode a morse code message, but I could not figure out how to activate the map to send the AM to 24,51.

Hi there, I can tell you put a lot of work into the art, it looks like an actual war bunker. I could not figure out what I was supposed to do. You have the instructions telling people to receive certain messages, but don't tell the player what steps they need to take to receive said messages. Also, the game was very quiet, some music and sound would help. Congrats on finishing.
