Played the game through to completion! I do feel that requiring additional knowledge from outside of the game is a bit weird (Unless there's a way to view number morse codes somewhere also.)  As other people have said, the caesar cypher seems misaligned. 

Submitted

This one is pretty good! The comments already highlights some visual errors but yeah just tidying those up and being able to move documents around on screen Golden Idol style would be awesome. I did have to use a website to brute force the caesar cipher since the wheel didn't line up. Also the music doesn't loop perfectly - but still lovely presentation for the most part.

Submitted

that was a cool brain teaser, and we enjoyed the time spent codebreaking!

sadly, we didn't really get what the clue was for puzzle #2 and ended up bruteforcing it, and also, the caesar cipher wheel being misaligned really screwed with some puzzles - fortunately we noticed that and made sure to correctly write down the letters, but it was a bit of an added hassle! 

we liked the way the morse code guide was presented, though, even if we didn't notice the arrow to flip it at first (it blended in with the fax machine a bit)

Interesting idea! I love the spy theming. I also used external tools because I could not make heads or tails of the Morse Code instructions.

I got stuck on #3. I was able to translate it into English, but I couldn't type in numbers, and the letter-to-number cipher page also didn't work.

I agree with people that having multiple pages open, and a notebook, would help, but the code books are really confusing.

Yeah I'm stuck the exact same bit

Great lil puzzle game, loved the focus on decoding, it tickled my autistic mind in just the right way >w<

Unfortunately, the caesar cipher wheel was misaligned, which sent me on an unfortunate wild goose chase thinking I had gotten something wrong, when in reality, it was the wheel itself. I also think that the game could've used some sort of in-game notepad, especially considering the effort put into having everything you need in-game, such as the morse code book (which, by the way, is fantastically presented!!)

I am so sad because it looks amazing but it's been 1 hour I'm stuck trying out idk how many things on the second puzzle TvT

Very good stuff tho, cool idea and good execution, just like the other said, having multiple windows/papers could help a lot with the QoL

Submitted

Quite fun to play since I love solving morse code and ciphers. I wish I can open multiple papers so I can translate on the go without opening and closing the paper and the wheel one by one, the wheel cipher is a bit unaligned too so It's hard to use x). I managed to finished the game but some of the decrypted numbers I don't quite understand why is it like that.

Pretty cool game though!

The deciphering ring gave me some trouble, but it's fun to puzzle around in this!

This is COOL. I love the puzzles/ciphers and I think it fits the theme perfectly. My only real complaints are QOL-related. Namely, I wish I could have multiple windows open at the same time and move them around to make it more like a workspace/desk. Hotkeys would help too. But I love the story and I think yall did a great job!!
