A methodical and tense puzzle-solving experience where you build decryption machines under the weight of a wartime deadline.

What players say

Players say this is a deterministic finite automaton puzzle, not an Enigma codebreaker as the description suggests. The campaign is very short at under two hours, puzzles are easy for anyone with programming background, and unskippable history videos frustrate many. Opinions split on whether the price matches the content, though the voice acting is praised.
