How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
It's a puzzle game with horror elements about decrypting messages written in eldritch runes and the effect that has on your psyche.

man that game is really good, i mean decoding 2 or 3 words start to unrable the mistery but the graphics where really good and the music too, great overall
Loved the cryptography as well as the color palette choice!
I had actually be toying around with doing a cryptogram puzzle for another game concept separate from the jam, so it was exciting to see this.
I think despite being built in a more modern engine, it really captures the Game Boy spirit. Navigation was a little bit of a challenge, but I think that is to be expected with the limited control scheme.
My only bit of feedback is I think the puzzle screen could've used a little indicator of how to navigate back to the room as well as a "blank" letter for when you misinput and wanted to reset a certain symbol.
Yo! Thats the first thing i thought as well. This cryptogram minigame would be great to add to the tool box. Reminds me of the old da vinci code games on ps2. Probably would have to do it with tile switching in the long run though.
Definitely agree with your suggestion - lack of feedback/instruction in the puzzle screen is major missing piece of the game. Thank you for taking the time to play and leave your comments!
very nice atmosphere, i suck at the puzzle tho...
Liked the theme here and the puzzle!! It really was creepy too! Good job!
Nice puzzle! The creepy mood and the way you gather clues are quite unique.
Solid entry, congrats!
Of all things, I think the way you used the 4 colour palette its genious! I love it. Good job!
Thanks! Our artist is a real talent
A very interesting puzzle. Also, I like creepy atmosphere in the game. But I had my time trying to exit the desk :)
Thanks for playing! We will definitely add some on-screen indicators of how to leave the puzzle view after the jam
A very solid game! I love the way we have to decipher the messages and the music really matches the atmosphere of a dreary place.
Thanks for checking it out - we were very lucky to have such a talented musician on our team
