Reviews

“The hardest part is pulling yourself away once you're on a solving spree”
Sirus Gaming

“This collection of notions, witticisms, and declarations touches the soul. It elevates a simple cypher puzzle game into a piece of cultural appreciation.”
8/10 – 1 Up Pod

“Stirring up feelings of nostalgia and curiosity, every deciphering session is laid back and lovely, surprising with its sense of cerebral fulfillment.”
8/10 – Pfangirl
