Ciphers Please

Created for the 2024 Game Off Jam
Theme: Secrets

Select a transmission from your pinboard. Encrypt or decrypt it. Send it through the terminal. Do your part for the Motherland.

== UNDISCLOSED BUNKER, USSR ==

The whirr of your ancient computer, your ticking alarm clock, the incessant hum of the fluorescent lightbulb overhead. Gone are the carefree days of laughter with family and friends.

Having traded your freedom for a paycheck, you have become the Soviet’s newest cryptographer.

Using ciphers, you’ll uncover military secrets, private transmissions, and the reality of the war that unfurls above ground.

Delving deep into the data, a haunting question arises: will these secrets bring victory to the Motherland - or hasten humanity’s end?

== CONTROLS ==

• Left click - focus an object
• Right click or TAB - go back to free camera
• Escape - pause menu

== LATE BUILD UPDATES ==

All build were pushed at most 25 minutes after the deadline, to address two main issues:

• The clock was still set to debug speed (made the game unplayable)
• Some text duplication bug rendered gameplay quite unpleasant

A Mac build may be added later but will contain no changes to the content.
