The idea seems great and the visuals are very nice, but I had a really hard time trying to play the game

I didn't really succeed in sending anything because my timing when trying to enter morse code was pretty bad, giving "HT" instead of "4" for exemple or "NN" instead of C. I couldn't figure out how to add a space either, waiting does not seem to do anything. The biggest problem is that there is no way to erase what you have done (I know it would not be possible with real military communications but it could really have been nice to have in the game - maybe a button automatically sending some kind of "sorry, restarting" error message in morse code to reset it all) so I tried to change frequency to "reset" the message in some way but the log quickly stopped recording anything (after the content in the screenshot, nothing is being recorded anymore, I think the text field reached its limit)

There were also things I wasn't totally sure of, like should I include the tag ? (I supposed not) When should I apply the Cipher ? Not to the tag I guess, but to the message being sent ? It's a CESAR1 cipher, right ? Should I have sent "B5 DMS" for the first message ?

I would be interested in retrying the game if you add some sort of reset button, but for now it seems I'm too bad at typing morse code to succeed

Things you could improve in terms of UI : - the text is a bit on the small side and the heavy paper texture makes it even less comfortable to read, it could be nice to change the texture or make it a bit lighter and have the font size be a little bigger in the introduction message and second page of the desk manual (maybe spreading the text in multiple pages) - A margin around the introduction message and second page of the desk manual would be nice as well, the text feels too close to the border

Things you could improve in terms of UX : - it would be nice to be able to have the morse code sheat sheet open when sending a message, but the window is a bit too small for that (since the telegraph key is in the center of the screen) - fullscreen isn't working (the game window isn't rescaling)
