Confused about what to do next? Found a possible error? You can post about it here.

If your post has late-game spoilers, use rot13 code or post it in the Spoiler Zone instead.

I don't really get it as a whole I guess. I feel like I'm supposed to just make my own rules as I go and tell myself I solved it?

Apparently I am not ready for this type of puzzle, or just not the audience.

Fair enough! I know rule-deduction games aren't for everyone. 

That being said: Don't worry about accidentally cheating by doing a puzzle wrong. By the time you reach puzzle 12, you have enough information to deduce whether a puzzle has been correctly solved, and fix it if needed. And you'll need to do this before you can approach puzzle 12.

To be more specific: (https://rot13.no/) Gurer vf whfg bar frg bs ehyrf hfrq sbe nyy chmmyrf. Bapr lbh ernpu gur raq bs gur obbx, lbhe tbny vf gb svther bhg gubfr ehyrf fb gung rnpu chmmyr pna or fbyirq cebcreyl naq pbzcyrgryl. Lbh jvyy xabj jura n chmmyr vf pbeerpg.

hi i'm having a lot of fun with this so far, i believe i've solved everything except for 12 and 2, however i am also still missing the thing in 11 that's supposed to help me with 2 and i can't seem to find it
for parity here's what i got in 11: mbqvnp pbbxvr zbagu ahzreny yrsgbiref pngrtbel

Ah yes, that is intentionally one of the toughest parts. Everything is correct so far. You may want to solve 2 before 11.

For more of a hint: Chmmyr 6 grnpurf na vzcbegnag ehyr.

Small Hint 1: An hour ago, I updated puzzle #1 to replace "Eclipse" with "Rosette". (edit: Because "Eclipse" was not helpful/accurate.)

Small Hint 2: Skip puzzle #1 until after [rot13] lbh unir qbar chmmyr ryrira.

Small Hint 3: You are allowed to use the Wikipedia search bar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Big Hint: Some other words I could have used (but did not) include ["Guhzocevag", "Pubpbyngr Puvc", naq "Qvtrfgvir"].

oh. i finally get it. thanks lol

Hi! Recently had a couple people try this, and they really liked it! One of them noticed that the color of the title of the first puzzle wasn't blue, and thought it might've been some sort of hint; totally missed this when playing through this myself, which was quite funny...

Developer

Wow, good catch! That was totally unintentional, but it seems to have been that way since before v1.0. I'll fix it in the next update.

Thank you! :D When I was solving it myself I simply had to do it in one sitting, really an incredible experience start-to-end ^^
