This is one of the best free puzzle-ish mystery games I’ve played. Everything is clued fairly, and the final puzzle (which I had to use a tiny little clue) was brilliant.

What I think makes it so special is that it doesn't drop you in the deep end or hold your hand- where lots of mysteries you seem to be following one lead to another uncovering a mystery with a very clear intended direction, or other games where they drop you with heaps of information and no direction and you instantly get swamped. I feel like type help has the perfect balance of information where there's always unanswered questions to look into, but you can choose your own direction and can solve stuff ur own way and if you get stuck you can even use educated trial and error which to me feels a lot better than a hint system. Also the story itself is absolute fire and i had chills uncovering some of the secrets and slowly understanding the main premise.
tldr i still think about this game months after playing it and I think its peak thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
remember the whole secret is: positioned letters inside words. Best hint i can give without spoiling too much is to recommend u dont worry about the positions of numbers within the words
It wasn't very intuitive, because the code is apparently scrambled too. So when I tried decoding it and came up with apparent gibberish, I assumed I was on the wrong track.

holy mother of cow that writing was peak. best game if you wanna pass some tine over a short break
It was a great gaming experience, thank you!
I played the Japanese version,
but it seems I can't search for names with the "find" command.
For example,
find john
shows search results in the English version, but I couldn't find it in the Japanese version.
Thank you again for an exciting time!
Thanks for pointing this out! It should now be fixed.
Thank you for the correction. I confirmed that search by name. thanks!

I made an account just to say this is easily the coolest thing on itch and just might me my favourite mystery game ever. Its inspired me to look into lots of other mystery games that I've really enjoyed but none of them gave me quite the sense of discovery as this i just omg its so cool I don't have the words to describe BUT ill TRY!!
What I think makes it so special is that it doesn't drop you in the deep end or hold your hand- where lots of mysteries you seem to be following one lead to another uncovering a mystery with a very clear intended direction, or other games where they drop you with heaps of information and no direction and you instantly get swamped. I feel like type help has the perfect balance of information where there's always unanswered questions to look into, but you can choose your own direction and can solve stuff ur own way and if you get stuck you can even use educated trial and error which to me feels a lot better than a hint system. Also the story itself is absolute fire and i had chills uncovering some of the secrets and slowly understanding the main premise.
tldr i still think about this game months after playing it and I think its peak thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit: the puzzle in his bio is also awesome
Would you mind sharing a hint to the bio puzzle? I can't figure out how to approach it.
remember the whole secret is: positioned letters inside words. Best hint i can give without spoiling too much is to recommend u dont worry about the positions of numbers within the words
I think I figured it out, thanks!
It wasn't very intuitive, because the code is apparently scrambled too. So when I tried decoding it and came up with apparent gibberish, I assumed I was on the wrong track.
