Translate what's on the screen, hit enter, the first half of the message changes to new plaintext seemingly cut off by what I typed. It's all a little too messy and confusing to really want to continue.\n\nI've bookmarked the game into a LD59 folder and will play it again in a few days since it seems you're working on updating it.

I think there's a lot of really cool things you can do here for sure.  I noticed that the monitor cannot display full messages, or if there's a way to \"change pages\", I did not know.  So most of the messages I could only decipher up until the monitor stopped displaying it.  Also, backspace didn't work :( so you had to type carefully!

I couldn't use the paper buttons, the keyboard, the pigeon, nothing.\n\nI'm going to hold off rating this for now, but if the game does in fact work and I'm just missing something, I'd be glad to give it another go!

Unfortunately, doing exactly that is incredibly difficult under the current circumstances.\n- There is a lack of clarity regarding object interactivity and the initial steps required to proceed.\n- In the Morse code section, I encountered a set of symbols that wasn't listed in the reference book. However, technically speaking, I was still able to type out text, hit Enter, then click the paper button to generate a letter ready for dispatch. I could then send the letter and receive the next assignment, but I saw no confirmation or feedback indicating whether the letter had been created or sent correctly.\n- In the Caesar cipher section\u2014assuming I\u2019ve correctly identified it as a Caesar cipher\u2014I couldn't figure out how to finalize the letter. Pressing Enter simply wipes away everything I\u2019ve typed; no matter how hard I tried or what actions I took (and I tried quite a lot), I was unable to successfully generate a letter for sending and advance to the next stage.\n- The background music is very pleasant, but it doesn't loop continuously.\n\nI didn't encounter the circular cipher puzzle, but honestly, I no longer have the desire to go back and test it out.\n\nPlease don't think I'm just being toxic; on the contrary, I really loved the core concept\u2014and that is precisely why I\u2019ve dedicated so much time to providing this feedback.\n\nI can only imagine how much effort you poured into this project. Judging by appearances, this seems to be your first major undertaking (though I could be mistaken); regardless, I can clearly see that you\u2019ve done a tremendous amount of work\u2014sometimes, however, shit just happens. I won't try to pressure you into finishing the project\u2014that\u2019s entirely up to you, and perhaps you\u2019ve already moved on to other things\u2014but I simply want to wish you the very best of luck in your future endeavors!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1211771,"author_name":"BlushingCrow","author_uid":"blushingcrow","epoch":1777020588,"text":"Graphics are great but I couldn't make any of the controls work or even figure out what mean to be interacted with ???

Feed them into our glorious STDM machine (steam-powered, temperamental, beautiful). Use the Manual to crack Caesar, A1Z26, Morse, and flags. Then send it off \u2013 pigeon for long distance, paper plane for local.\n\nTHIS IS A SATIRE. ABOUT YOU. AND YOUR OBSESSION WITH MESSAGING.\nSO, HERE'S MY QUESTION, FUTURE PEASANT:\n\nWHO NEEDS EYE CONTACT WHEN YOU HAVE A PIGEON, AM I RIGHT???\n\n\n![DA996349-FD17-4FC2-AA1E-B9A463E854F1.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/711ef.png)\n\n\n**CONTROLS:**\n\nLeft-click to interact with objects.\n\nPress Esc or Right Mouse Button to close book.\n\nHold Left Mouse Button to drag and drop items.\n\nClick on the *KEYBOARD* in game to enter typing mode!\n\nType using your keyboard! \n\nPress Enter to enter your text.\n\nPress Esc to stop using *KEYBOARD* while typing.\n\n\n\n![Book_Page0.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/71ea7.png)\n\n\n\n\n**TUTORIAL** *(temporary)*\n\nThere are couple of interactable objects in a game that you need to use or interact with to play the game:\n\n\n- *Letters*\n\n![Envelop_01.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/71e82.png)\n\nSome you can click and read. If you click and nothing happens, then you need to take it and load it into the computer via...\n\n\n- *Shredder*\n\n![shredder tutorial.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/71e96.png)\n\nIt is a mechanism attached to the computer. Hover a letter over it and it will be consumed and all the information displayed on the monitor.\n\n\n- *Keyboard*\n\n![keyboard tutorial.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/71e97.png)\n\nIt is a tool to type on the monitor! To ented typing mode, just click on the keyboard and start typing! Using YOUR keyboard! Pretty cool, right?\n\n\n- *Book*\n\n![Manual_01.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/71e98.png)\n\nYou've probably already clicked on it and thought that it was all. But the book is important. It holds info on how to decipher signals we receive.\n\nDISCLAIMER: Caesars Code Wheel is not working properly. It should spin and help you decipher messages. As of right now it doesn't... \nMessages can be deciphered, but it will be very hard. Sorry:( \n\n\n- *Pigeon and Tube*\n\n![Pigeon_01.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/71ea0.png)\n\n![PlanePipe_01.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/71ea1.png)\n\nThese are for sending messages. Pigeon - other cities. Planes - Steam Capital.\n\n\n- *\"Choose your Paper\" mechanism*\n\n![Screenshot_5.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/711cc.png)\n\nTo print a letter, choose what type of paper you want to use. There are 3 BUTTONS near the Monitor: \n\n- *Brown button* (0R) - free paper\n\n- *Blue button* (2R) - expensive paper\n\n- *Purple button* (5R) - very expensive paper.\n\n\n\n**GAMEPLAY NUANCES**\n\nUse *TRASH CAN* to throw away briefing letters and, if you want, letters from a story character. It is a unique letter. You won't miss it. \n\n![s7Hsc78bA5t6Xevu7B3ZXfa34byig56q1gLgVnOD3drbnRIU6_hj_nu9a6UyXqXKDhsulwT3ScDKA8CH9AIdQjT7.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/711c9.jpg)\n\n\nSend letters using Pigeons or Paper Planes:\n\n- *Pigeons* are for long distance messages\n\n- *Paper planes* are for local messages\n\n**WE SIT IN A STEAM CAPITAL. IF A LETTER IS SENT TO SOMEONE IN THE STEAM CAPITAL, USE PAPER PLANES!**\n\n![IMG_2610.png](\/\/\/raw\/837\/76\/z\/711e2.png)\n\nHave fun playing our game!
