How it feels
A solitary, thoughtful experience that demands patient research and code-breaking like deciphering an old manuscript.

What players say
Players say this is less a game and more a book of cryptic puzzles with no feedback or way to enter answers. You flip pages and do all the solving outside the program, often needing Wikipedia and Google. It is extremely difficult, and players disagree on whether it is a clever challenge or a scam.
