I found a small display bug: at some UI scales, Picross hints line up with the wrong rows/columns (and the first ones disappear completely). Took me a while to realise something is off and try changing UI scale back to default.
As for the route apparently not lining up in that puzzle, it does line up, but there's a little trick to it. I'm not gonna explain here, but if you shoot me an email through my website's contact form and I can explain the logic
I finished with 15 hints used! This was a brilliant little experience to look forward to when I have some time to myself to mull over.
Most of the puzzles were pretty satisfying to solve, the only exception being WLAVRG (spoiler hidden), which felt like it was essentially brute force. Some were real headscratchers!
Overall, this was a wonderful game and I feel bad for having enjoyed it for free. I'll donate some when I get my next paycheck!
Played this game a while back and it finally scratched a gaming itch I've been looking for forever. Would love to see a sequel or expanded version of the game, maybe even working in some real-world puzzles.
i just finished this game!!! it was awesome!!! i really loved the ending, as well, always a fan of things like that (trying to avoid mentioning spoilers, but hopefully you know what i mean lmao) thank you so much for making it! i played it all day instead of doing my hw <3
The game was fun if a little…cryptic at times. It didn’t help a good few of the hints felt actively unhelpful?…while in others it felt like I had no way to really solve it outside of the help of hints.
And yea, looking back on it, the hints weren't as helpful as I wanted. At the time, I restricted myself to 4, 5 and 6 words each, thinking it was a Creative way of limiting it, but it only came across as unhelpful to basically everyone
¡Hola! No hablo español con fluidez, así que estoy usando el Traductor de Google para ayudar, así que perdóname si la traducción no es perfecta. Además, ¡me alegra que estés disfrutando de mi juego!
En cuanto al rompecabezas en el que estás atascado, es uno de los 3 rompecabezas con los que no estoy particularmente contento ahora, así que estoy más que feliz de decirte que la respuesta a ese es "SNOWFLAKE" ["COPO DE NIEVE"], para ahorrarte el problema.
I'm stuck again lol. This time I am certain that I'm not missing anything as I haven't reached all the dead ends I can. I'm stuck on both "Fragment" and "Extract". With Fragment I decoded it into base64 (I'm pretty sure this is confirmed with the second hint) and I got gibberish. Then I put it into an anagram solver to see if it spelled anything else, which it didn't. I really don't know what else to try as the hints basically are telling me "use base64, include capitals and numbers (I'm pretty sure that's what its saying), and rearrange what you get into something else" which is what I did, and I got nothing useful. With Extract, I tried using the caeser sypher, shifting it up or down based on where the number is and the value of it, gibberish. Tried using the actual words. Going to the position that the number would correspond to, more gibberish. The hints weren't much help either, basically just telling me to pay attention to the numbers and count in some way. I can't progress (I think) until I've solved these so any help would be appreciated. (wish there was a discord server or something for this kind of stuff) (also, Long message lol)
I absolutely love this project — was really excited to give it a crack. Unfortunately when trying to open it on Mac (Intel i9 2019) I just get an error that says ‘The application “Kryptic_Mac” can’t be opened.’ Wondering whether you have any guidance for this? Thanks in advance!
I've won half the battle — turns out you can launch it from the itch.io app. However, the interface is un-usably small (even if I rescale it using the settings!) Any clues?
I managed to get it all fixed and wow — what a fantastic experience. Truly challenged me more than I expected a puzzle game would but I really enjoyed it! Now I want to go back and do it hint-free t see what the different end result is.
I love this game so far. Sadly, I've reached a point where I can't seem to get past. On "Wires", I don't know what the symbols are.I'm sure I could figure out what the word is once I know what the symbols are but the hints don't really help me figure that out. I thought it would use the pigpen code but I think the symbols would look more like the pigpen symbols. If anyone could help that would be great.
FYI, lens does not seem to work on Mac. I've run the windows version through Whisky instead, and lens works fine there, but I thought I'd let you know.
i finished the game and the ending made me very confused, im not sure if im really done please can someone confirm if theres nothing more to do or if theres a bigger deeper secret?
what is the solution for the frequency puzzle? it seems so easy just count how many and order by frequency like how it shows in the diagram on the bottom, but when i try to put "pscale" (whatever that means) it does not work, i also tried "scale" and "places" wich were the only other words that made sense. the hints just make it seem like my original solution was right, but it doesnt work, is it bugged?
This game was absolutely AMAZING. If you're looking for a similar type of game with codes and passwords I recommend trying The Guides. (I think it's only on mobile though.)
I saw Icely start playing through this game and then began playing through it myself.
I absolutely love the game and even though I'm not finished I already really badly want a sequel.
Right now there's 1 specific puzzle that I'm completely stuck on in the Yellow Corner , O---T.
I've used all 3 hints but I've still had no luck with it... The only letters that seem to stick together are all wrong and I'm unsure of what else to try or do. Could I perhaps have some more explicit help?
Thank you so much for the additional help, but I've honestly tried so many different 4 letter words that could've lined up that I began trying 8 letter words... I'm shocked I haven't brute forced the answer by now honestly.
The only solution I saw according to the 3rd hint "SWAY" but that was wrong.
Two of the orbitals are filled with red herrings. Instead of going from side to middle, try going side to side, that should unlock the right answer for you
wellp 90 minutes in i'm still stuck on the 2nd puzzle lol. I got the hints, no idea what i'm missing. Amazing game tho, i'm totally hooked and will NEVER beat it :)
as for those symbols, you most likely don't have enough information to complete it. the game is non-linear, and some puzzles available earlier can only be solved with information from later puzzles
Loved the game, got hooked enough to finish it in two afternoons. Trying to 100% now, hard stuck on Trace. Used all three hints on that one and did all combinations of tricks I could think of. Would like some more explicit help 😅
Thanks, although I only had to fill in a few blanks and I happened to see what answer it could be.
I have counted the characters as the final hint suggested and tried to do all kinds of things with them. Used the alphabet cypher tool, viginere, caesar, summed it all and tried to enter that, returned to a puzzle related to the sum but nothing seems to spit out anything of use. Am I misinterpreting the hints?
Yeah Also finished the game with 98% but stuck on trace. Used all 3 hints, counted characters and letters Caesar cyphered a bunch but not finding anything.
The game doesn't rely on any YouTube videos for solutions, so you've most likely accidentally interpreted a base 64 string as a YouTube URL.
The game is intended to be solved with basic knowledge and some logical leaps, and perhaps only a couple of instances of looking up the name of something. Hope that helps!
Ashamed to say I got roadblocked on M-----y, I used all three of my hints for it to basically say "have better eyes". It wasn't clear enough to me that I could interact with it by clicking on it.
first off, thanks for playing my game, and i hope you're enjoying it
now, regarding the authentication on my website, that's because i had been receiving way too many spam emails from bots saying they can improve my website for a fee, so blame them.
as for the puzzle itself, given there are a number of players going through the game and posting here, i can't really spell it out here, or give too many key details that would ruin it for others. if you do try to go through my website again, i'd be happy to explain how it works in more detail there, instead of having to rely on thinly hidden coded messages
Do you happen to have Discord? If so, feel free to shoot me a friend request and DM me, and I'll be able to help you out there. Just look for "Fox Chaotica"
Great games, tons of good puzzles, i think my favourite one was PICROSS or NUMERALS
My only minor annoyances are: there being two hexagon keys and no pentagon one the part at the end (link to avoid spoilers) https://imgur.com/a/vxcwOHx
first off, thanks for playing, i'm glad you enjoyed it
as for those two occurences, quite simply one is a mistake, and the other is me not being aware at the time that there's a specific function in unity that allows for that
I don't play many games on itch.io but I've thoroughly enjoyed this one, with a total of 27 hints used by the end, most of which were from me overthinking a puzzle haha
I'm noticing something weird with some of the puzzles, i'm not sure if it's intentional or to make the playtime of the game longer but there's quite a bit of puzzles where there's times where you have to brute force it to even get the answer to them. 'expand' and 'rotate' have this problem specifically, all you can do is sink in time to even get the answer for them, even with the hint's provided to you.
Brute force for any puzzle wasn't really my intention when making these puzzles, but some of them may have unintentially ended up being solvable by brute force. If you're struggling with any puzzles, feel free to reach out to me via my website and I can give you a nudge you in the right direction
Got to puzzle '10' now and I'm not quite understanding the symbols all the way from wires. Went to the puzzlehacker to see if there was something that I was missing and it didn't get me anywhere, thought it had something to do with pigpen with how similar the symbols looked to those but no dice. I'm genuinely stuck at this point, I like puzzle games but I'm not the smartest when it comes to some things.
Also not sure what the first sentence is, spoiler to puzzle↓
I realized I missed the S and I in the screenshot, though now I'm even more confused. I don't know what the opposite of it is, even looking it up isn't getting me anywhere, its either 5 letters or 7 letters, and all the 6 letter words that I can find don't work. I'm lost with that part.
As with '10', I know that the two letters clue into what the symbols they're lined up with, though that doesn't seem to help me with figuring it out. The only thing that seems to line up is that the symbols on the top of the grid all have a dot in the center and the ones on the left don't (Hence me getting that it was linked to pigpen.) Though when I try to see how they are linked with the other symbols it just confuses me more, since they're all rotated and much different than the ones in pigpen that it's a roadblock.
Edit: Also with the 'rotate' puzzle it seems really tedious having to go through so many combinations just to find one or two of the lines having the start of some words but then not working, I've exhausted all the hints for the ones I'm stuck on at this point. not a clue as to what to do.
1) opposite of (to) "contract" (verb), 6 letters 2) As you've seen with a previous grid puzzle, 26 letters + 10 digits fit nicely into a 6x6. But 26 letters don't fit nicely into a 5x5. So you kind of have to. squeeze it. So every cell is one of 2 letters. the 9th cell shown, is either I or J. So for a 4 cell word, write down those 4 cells (4 letter pairs), and make a 4-letter word out of them. 3) Rotate puzzle actually shows both correct solutions at once. Note that there aren't that many vowels, and you need at least a couple per word. (hint: try making a word starting with the central S)
tho a small thing i kinda noticed towards the end was that some of the puzzles were getting redundant and felt kinda repetitive but other than that its great
With hindsight, I do wish I had picked a better font, or even made my own that specifically disambiguated 0 from O, and I from l and 1, specifically to assist with the base 64 puzzles

I found a small display bug: at some UI scales, Picross hints line up with the wrong rows/columns (and the first ones disappear completely). Took me a while to realise something is off and try changing UI scale back to default.
Great game otherwise!
hey there, thanks for playing my game, and i'm glad you enjoyed it, despite some of the bugs in it!
[SPOILERS!!!]
GG! 23 Hints and a few referrals to Icely's playthrough.
Thank you for making this game, 10/10!
Hey! So glad you enjoyed my game!
Might want to add simply clicking on the window to bring it to the top (always having to drag the window frame for that was rather wack)
And one question on...(spoilers ahead)
Infinity (Red 2nd Row 3rd Column)
Got the answer rather easily but the route for the answer doesn't seem to line up?
Hey! Hope you're enjoying the game!
As for the route apparently not lining up in that puzzle, it does line up, but there's a little trick to it. I'm not gonna explain here, but if you shoot me an email through my website's contact form and I can explain the logic

Just figured them out. Extract I was just overcomplicating. Fragments wasn't my fault because the font makes lowercase L's look like 1's
the same thing happened to me with fragment :pensive:
Hi,
I absolutely love this project — was really excited to give it a crack. Unfortunately when trying to open it on Mac (Intel i9 2019) I just get an error that says ‘The application “Kryptic_Mac” can’t be opened.’ Wondering whether you have any guidance for this? Thanks in advance!

I don't want the answer to the whole puzzle but I just need help figuring out what the symbols mean
I'm only on the red side btw, I haven't tried looked for any ways to get to the different colors yet
From what I understand, wires is a puzzle that you have to wait until later sections of the game to be able to solve
Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks
The mac app doesnt seem to work on my machine (it said it cant be opened) (i am on a m1 mac)
Just wanted to let you know that there's a typo in the linux version. The program and data files are named "Krypric" instead of "Kryptic".
oh, so it is! ^-^;
Thanks for letting me know!
make it so that there would be the answer after you get the final hint i cant figure out word grip
i don't understand what you mean with "i can't figure out word grip"
just ignore that i just want it so that it would tell the answer after it gives the last hint
FYI, lens does not seem to work on Mac. I've run the windows version through Whisky instead, and lens works fine there, but I thought I'd let you know.
Thanks for the heads up. I don't know why that's the case
i finished the game and the ending made me very confused, im not sure if im really done please can someone confirm if theres nothing more to do or if theres a bigger deeper secret?

There are alternate endings, but no secrets after those

It looks like you're missing a U
The answer is 7 letters, you're missing a single letter hidden in there. Go over them carefully, one at a time, that might help
This game was absolutely AMAZING. If you're looking for a similar type of game with codes and passwords I recommend trying The Guides. (I think it's only on mobile though.)
thanks for playing my game, i'm glad you enjoyed it!
This game is absolutely awesome, I actually forget when I played such a great colection of puzzles connected by a storyline. Clean and entertaining!
One question though: where is save file located? I want to move it from one PC to another
thanks for playing my game, i'm glad you enjoyed it!
the save data can be found in AppData\LocalLow\Chaotica. it's called "Kryptic.dat"
This game is awesome. I don't think I've played anything quite like it and I really loved it.
I'm glad you enjoyed my game! thanks for playing
I saw Icely start playing through this game and then began playing through it myself.

as for the puzzle you're stuck on, it's a 4 letter answer. perhaps that'll help, given what's seen in the puzzle
Thank you so much for the additional help, but I've honestly tried so many different 4 letter words that could've lined up that I began trying 8 letter words... I'm shocked I haven't brute forced the answer by now honestly.
The only solution I saw according to the 3rd hint "SWAY" but that was wrong.
Is it possible for you to give me another hint?
Two of the orbitals are filled with red herrings. Instead of going from side to middle, try going side to side, that should unlock the right answer for you
I- Oh my goodness I feel so stupid now, I have no idea how I didn't think about that at all until now
I got it immediately after I saw that you sent this, thank you so much!
marvelous game
i particularly liked how the cryptography and puzzle game elements had a background layer of unique sci-fi storytelling through company emails
i will absolutely pay for a sequel/spinoff if ever released
thanks for playing my game, and i'm glad you enjoyed it!
wellp 90 minutes in i'm still stuck on the 2nd puzzle lol. I got the hints, no idea what i'm missing. Amazing game tho, i'm totally hooked and will NEVER beat it :)
I'm sure you'll be able to make it through, don't give up!
Im genuinely stumped on the all of the puzzles relating to wires as well as wires, am I just really dumb or something 😭😭😭
hi! first off, i hope you're enjoying the game!
as for those symbols, you most likely don't have enough information to complete it. the game is non-linear, and some puzzles available earlier can only be solved with information from later puzzles
Loved the game, got hooked enough to finish it in two afternoons. Trying to 100% now, hard stuck on Trace. Used all three hints on that one and did all combinations of tricks I could think of. Would like some more explicit help 😅
Replying to this comment just to say that I’m stuck on the exact same Puzzle (even with all 3 of the hints)
Amazing game btw, had me hooked since I first learned played it!
There are no ciphers needed, use the second hint directly with the third
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I'm impressed that you managed to complete it without solving all the puzzles in your first playthrough!
As for the puzzle you're stuck on, perhaps counting characters in the username would help
Thanks, although I only had to fill in a few blanks and I happened to see what answer it could be.
I have counted the characters as the final hint suggested and tried to do all kinds of things with them. Used the alphabet cypher tool, viginere, caesar, summed it all and tried to enter that, returned to a puzzle related to the sum but nothing seems to spit out anything of use. Am I misinterpreting the hints?
Yeah Also finished the game with 98% but stuck on trace. Used all 3 hints, counted characters and letters Caesar cyphered a bunch but not finding anything.
You don't need any tools to solve that puzzle. i'll tell you that the answer is 10 letters long.
given there's 10 names, maybe that'll help you out
I just managed to do it with the 10 letters hint. Really overcomplicated it for myself huh 😅. Finished the game right afterwards, it was great!
Only thing that keeps me wondering is why pressing DEL when starting the game doesn't seem to do anything...
oh, that's just a joke. the entire intro sequence is based on how old computers boot up
Does the youtube error "This video is not available anymore" mean that the video was deleted?
Just asking to see if i went down the wrong path for the puzzle or the video is gone
The game doesn't rely on any YouTube videos for solutions, so you've most likely accidentally interpreted a base 64 string as a YouTube URL.
The game is intended to be solved with basic knowledge and some logical leaps, and perhaps only a couple of instances of looking up the name of something. Hope that helps!
Cheers mate! I guess the Base64 string was about the length of a usual YT link.... Didn't help i had tunnel vision ;-;
Good to know that I won't need to look stuff up much though!
Ashamed to say I got roadblocked on M-----y, I used all three of my hints for it to basically say "have better eyes". It wasn't clear enough to me that I could interact with it by clicking on it.
I think we should make a game together.
This is such a fun game! Took me a while to finish, but every puzzle was a masterpiece!
god dam, wish this was steam so it could get more eyes on it
I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
As for why it's not on steam, there is a developer fee of $100, which I didn't have at the time. I might try and get it listed in the future
I tried contacting you with your personal website's "Contact", but i was stopped by that foolish authentication of whether i'm a human.
So here's my question:
(walked-through spoiler alert)
Why "infiltrate"?
I see the 1st and the 4th also the 6th and the 9 th letter in "infiltrate" are the same.
That does match BrsBp and GkeGx.
But how it comes to this??
I know it's "infiltrate" from Kriptic Walkthrough.
I did not solve it myself.
first off, thanks for playing my game, and i hope you're enjoying it
now, regarding the authentication on my website, that's because i had been receiving way too many spam emails from bots saying they can improve my website for a fee, so blame them.
as for the puzzle itself, given there are a number of players going through the game and posting here, i can't really spell it out here, or give too many key details that would ruin it for others. if you do try to go through my website again, i'd be happy to explain how it works in more detail there, instead of having to rely on thinly hidden coded messages
Nah still being refused.
I give up.
Also I'm enjoying it though it's hard for me to actually communicate stuffs in the game.
Do you happen to have Discord? If so, feel free to shoot me a friend request and DM me, and I'll be able to help you out there. Just look for "Fox Chaotica"
I do, but I can't find you.
umm
Sorry, mistake on my part, I added a space in my username when there isn't one
Great games, tons of good puzzles, i think my favourite one was PICROSS or NUMERALS

there being two hexagon keys and no pentagon one

I am stuck on the "Evolve" Puzzle. I'm lost on what I need to do.
Try looking carefully at how each letter changes from line to line
I figured it out! Thanks!
I'm noticing something weird with some of the puzzles, i'm not sure if it's intentional or to make the playtime of the game longer but there's quite a bit of puzzles where there's times where you have to brute force it to even get the answer to them. 'expand' and 'rotate' have this problem specifically, all you can do is sink in time to even get the answer for them, even with the hint's provided to you.
Brute force for any puzzle wasn't really my intention when making these puzzles, but some of them may have unintentially ended up being solvable by brute force. If you're struggling with any puzzles, feel free to reach out to me via my website and I can give you a nudge you in the right direction
Got to puzzle '10' now and I'm not quite understanding the symbols all the way from wires. Went to the puzzlehacker to see if there was something that I was missing and it didn't get me anywhere, thought it had something to do with pigpen with how similar the symbols looked to those but no dice. I'm genuinely stuck at this point, I like puzzle games but I'm not the smartest when it comes to some things.
Also not sure what the first sentence is, spoiler to puzzle↓
https://imgur.com/hzvWWEr
The puzzle for which you've sent the screenshot of, you are missing a couple of letters for the top sentence.
As for "10", there are 24 empty spaces, plus 2 letters filled in. That should hopefully clue you in
I realized I missed the S and I in the screenshot, though now I'm even more confused. I don't know what the opposite of it is, even looking it up isn't getting me anywhere, its either 5 letters or 7 letters, and all the 6 letter words that I can find don't work. I'm lost with that part.
As with '10', I know that the two letters clue into what the symbols they're lined up with, though that doesn't seem to help me with figuring it out. The only thing that seems to line up is that the symbols on the top of the grid all have a dot in the center and the ones on the left don't (Hence me getting that it was linked to pigpen.) Though when I try to see how they are linked with the other symbols it just confuses me more, since they're all rotated and much different than the ones in pigpen that it's a roadblock.
Edit: Also with the 'rotate' puzzle it seems really tedious having to go through so many combinations just to find one or two of the lines having the start of some words but then not working, I've exhausted all the hints for the ones I'm stuck on at this point. not a clue as to what to do.
1) opposite of (to) "contract" (verb), 6 letters
2) As you've seen with a previous grid puzzle, 26 letters + 10 digits fit nicely into a 6x6. But 26 letters don't fit nicely into a 5x5. So you kind of have to. squeeze it. So every cell is one of 2 letters. the 9th cell shown, is either I or J. So for a 4 cell word, write down those 4 cells (4 letter pairs), and make a 4-letter word out of them.
3) Rotate puzzle actually shows both correct solutions at once. Note that there aren't that many vowels, and you need at least a couple per word. (hint: try making a word starting with the central S)
Actually, every cell in the mostly blank grid in "10", with the exception of the one filled in to begin with is just 1 letter
that was an amazing experience
honestly if i couldve paid money for this i wouldve
10/10 i want more tbh
tho a small thing i kinda noticed towards the end was that some of the puzzles were getting redundant and felt kinda repetitive but other than that its great
I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
I've been at the fragment puzzle for a solid hour and I've got not a clue what I'm doing wrong..

I even used every combination of parts I could get.
It's a lowercase L not the number 1 in both cases
I hate that 1's and L's look the same, thanks for pointing it out.
They do look near identical but are slightly different. The top of the lowercase L is flat while the number 1 is slanted.
With hindsight, I do wish I had picked a better font, or even made my own that specifically disambiguated 0 from O, and I from l and 1, specifically to assist with the base 64 puzzles
nice puzzle game, i did every puzzle with no hints and i can confirm that this game is creative and was fun to play through
thanks for playing, i'm glad you enjoyed it!
