Dear Penpal
CAN YOU CRACK THE CODE?
You know that the killer is toying with you, but the only way to recover their prospective victims is to play along. Decrypt the killer's letters, identify the victims' locations, and send in help to foil the killer's plot. Nothing can go wrong; drop a single pin on the wrong spot, and the killer beats you.
Made in one week for Brackeys Jam 2025.1; the theme was nothing can go wrong.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Use left click to interact with items in the space.
- Press space bar to return to the origin of the space.
- Interact with an envelope to open it, and find an encoded message with a certain number of locations hidden within.
- Decrypt the messages by changing the key on the right.
- Once the locations are known, pin them on the corkboard maps by left clicking and dragging the push pins to each location. The pin color must match the color on the envelope with that location.
- When you are sure the locations are all marked correctly, you can send help for the killer's victims by ringing the bell on the desk.
Tips
- Click on the book on the desk to see an explanation of the different cipher types the killer uses, as well as some tips on solving cryptograms.
- Change the cipher difficulty from the main page settings menu or from the end game screen.
Thank you for playing!
