I don't understand why people are saying this is a "game" in the comments. I tried "playing" it for half an hour, and it's just a book. All you do is click the mouse. It's not even that well written, this should be on a fan-fiction website, not a game website.

An honestly refreshing and incredible game - be prepared for a lot of dialogue and reading, but that's a good thing as it fleshes out each character and the story. I also appreciate the hint system as it feels like more of a collaborative effort and is tiered enough that it doesn't necessarily give the answer away - in fact some characters' hints are 'useless' in some puzzles in that they don't add to the solution, but they do add to their personalities which is great.
The one thing that I did not read into when I started playing was that this is the first half of the game, and am thus equal parts wistful and excited about the release of the second half.
Well done Percon and keep up the good work, will certainly come back to finish the whole game!

I would be dead ontheir place. I can't break this damn cypher while using PC and dicionary.
P.S. No clues pls. I will eventually break it.

I enjoyed playing it. It felt kinda similar to "9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors" game. Hope to see more of the game and that Sentient AI.

in puzzle 14 you should be able to look at the note, just in case like me you rush through the near endless conversations to get to the puzzles

Hmm, thought this would be just another one of those "click past tons of dialogue, do a puzzle, repeat" games but boy was I wrong. Been playing a couple of hours now and it's like a really fantastic book, amazing to put down. Kudos to the developer on this one.

I will be honest I love the game. With that being said I am tired of games coming out in chapters either as updates or as separate games (I am looking at you Medieval Cop and .hack and Golden Sun) I understand the time it takes to make each installment and I understand having one chapter be released as a test to see if people are interested in the consent/game to begin with. But to me the feel of chapter by chapter release is just a way to get people to re-hit the site to drive up ad revenue.
With that being said I enjoy the game and I love the story that is unfolding. Keep up the good work and I hope to come back to this when it is all finished.

Aaaaah! I hope this is one of those "To be continued..." games which actually does end up being continued. You can't just leave us on that D:. Anyway, a definite 5/5 from me. Engaging puzzles, great story, etc. Kind of reads more like interactive fiction than a game but that's definitely not a bad thing. I love the little details which make it feel more like you're doing this with real people, such as other people also wandering off to do their own things and occasionally solving puzzles and stuff without you- their autonomy makes them feel a lot more real. Kudos to you.

"Uncaught RangeError: Array buffer allocation failed". If an interactive fiction needs more than 400MB to run, that means you programming skills suck, and you also suck. 1/5

One thing I might suggest is an auto-skip for the text. It's a bit straining to click/space spam when you're replaying for different dialogue options. :)

I have to say this is a really great game. I havent seen something this good and this well planned out in a long time on Kong. Props dev. Major props.

D, N, C, F, K, - There all different units of temperature. So, I lined them up based on the point at which water boils. 100 C, 212 F, and 373 K. I kinda guessed on the other two. ~Accurate representation on my solving of the puzzle.~ It made me laugh.

Ink is blue, blue Ink makes him crazy. His thoughts are written in blue. Tiana stole the source code out of the blue. Meaning Ink's thoughts contains the source code of the game
Furthermore, Sent is telling he's an A.I. out of the blue. Now thinking about Aether (which is also a blueish color) she is the fifth element connecting to the four elements which are Ink, Rae, Beth, and Liza. The source code 'stolen out of the blue' means that Aether is actually the A.I. trying to use the other four elements to complete her evolution.

To a Mr. "loading___" people do that with ANY game online or off. That's why anyone could find a tutorial on this game or any other game. If you don't want to donate/give money to the devs, then it's best you should stop complaining.

that game is classified as "puzzle" "mystery" and "atmospheric"... i'd classify it as BRUTAL PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER. great game. i still haven't pardonned you for making it episode based, with such a delay between episodes :P

Is this actually giving different responses in the puzzle according to how you went about solving them? This game is amazing!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game have amazing puzzles. Just try to do that with a pen and paper in hand and note down stuffs who you think is relevant for the puzzle

In this chapter the task is to turn the number 7 into 26. However this is a ruse and a harder test. If you want to complete chapter 2, do not try to form the number 26, but the letter "z". I have finished the second chapter.

For people saying they can't get any clues, talk to the characters again. Their dialogue is different the second time. On another note, there is less than 24 hours before the game is over. They should hurry up to the next puzzle instead of talking.

Cool story, neat game, but without another badge, I don't honestly see me coming back to this. Would of been better to release it when it was finished, rather than in installments.

Ok Z is NOT a number. On to puzzle 3 and already done with this. Not fun and if I have to watch a walkthrough for every puzzle and it takes forever to get through the dialog not any fun for me. I will wait until I have to get the badge for a shiny kongpanion and cheat my way through it.

Way too much chat and clicking on people gives no real clues to the second puzzle. Takes way too long to load each section of dialog or puzzle checking. Second puzzle is not making any sense to me. Can't figure out what to do on the second puzzle to make 7 into 26. Already looking for a walkthrough since I have clicked all 4 people and none have been any help at all. Bored now.

The browser could not allocate enough memory for the WebGL content. If you are the developer of this content, try allocating less memory to your WebGL build in the WebGL player settings.
The game is a pretty big memory hog, so I'd recommend trying to play it as the only window open in your browser. If that still doesn't work, DM me and let's see if we can't figure it out.

Wow! At first I thought, "way too much dialogue and not enough gameplay" but around the second chapter I was totally hooked! Excellent game!
