2025-01-06 Update notes (v1.7)Hello code-breakers!
We've replaced the audio library (OpenAL) with an updated version to hopefully solve some of the sound/audio issues reported by our Windows players.
The game should also now report any errors when failing to create the device_settings.txt file. This happens when the game is started and no device_settings.txt file is detected.

In support of Project Gutenberg, a volunteer effort to digitize, archive, and distribute works of literature- Decode a vast and varied collection of curated poetry, where each poem is encrypted using one of the world's oldest codes: the substitution cipher
- Decrypt over 400 excerpts as you explore classic poetic themes ranging from the bliss of love to the depths of despair
- Like what you decoded? Read the entire poem in-game or download each poet's anthology online for free, direct links included!
- Share the joy of poetry--10% of every sale is donated to Project Gutenberg, an online library of over 60,000 free ebooks
- Play at your own pace with four difficulty settings to choose from
- Relax with a soothing, contemplative soundtrack
- Choose between night or sunlight mode with optional enlarged cipher text
"Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary." - Khalil Gibran
Content note: This game features classic works of poetry and brief biographies of poets. Certain biographies and poems contain non-graphic references to violence, drugs, sex, and suicide.
