As of April 2026 we have brand new game code in both the itch version of the game and the main site. This is bringing in lots of new features… and potentially lots of bugs. 😄

Please share here if you spot anything broken, inconvenient, or have ideas for how the experience could be better. Thanks!

A suggestion regarding the bonus after you run out of Yliad chapters to add bonuses to: 

Public Domain short stories. Like those books where each story is one or two pages.

Oh, this is a great idea! I think short poems may also work! 

I'm playing on Android and today's puzzle refuses to load in landscape mode. I click the "resume" button and see a brief flash of the puzzle before the resume button replaces it again. I can solve it today in portrait, but, weird.

Ahh, thanks for letting me know! If you’re curious, I had messed with the layout when adding the new side navigation (which I also see is unhelpfully squished in landscape, will have to tweak that) and was trying to get the newly open puzzle to scroll to right below the header, forgetting that the header doesn’t stick to the top of the screen when there’s insufficient screen height. There’s also code to minimize the puzzle if you scroll it offscreen (like by scrolling up to read previous entries) but that was accidentally kicking in from this incorrect auto-scroll, immediately minimizing it…

Cleaned both pieces of that up, so it should be fixed now!

I played the game a while ago and found it fun but only barely challenging enough and the addition of punctuation marks which I am certain were not previously present has drastically lowered the difficulty of the puzzles, which makes me sad :(

I found 22 and 23 Aug quite tricky, what did you think of those two?

I think the punctuation makes it more interesting, and also means the text can be a lot longer.

Having said that, "Quite Tricky" for this game is never much longer than 5 mins, but I think that's ok, you could try Clues By Sam if you want a harder logic game?
