OMG this Act 2 set of puzzles is so hard! It's day 5 for me and I have all the puzzles open, and a spreadsheet where I'm keeping track of A cannot be E which cannot be the same as M, etc. (not real constraints!) I feel like I'm spending forever on What If black holes of pursuit only to Undo. Undo. Undo. Undo ad nauseum. I haven't actually given up yet though. It's certainly a good challenge, I'll say that. Cheers for the fabulous effort at creating it.

Edit: Nm, figured it out.

Wow, congrats DiMono on both a very enjoyable interlocking set of puzzles and the best accompanying story yet. You’ve raised the bar with this. Thank you, and thanks to CTC of course 😀

I know... but using Google translate, the translation has no meaning at all, whatever thé direction ( I have used both)

Keep in mind that Arabic is read from right to left unlike English

Vermaut Vincent

Did you manage to translate the arabic part? I have solved all 5 puzzles but what is the question to solve?

The Map is where I've spent most of my time, and where the puzzle keeps breaking. This latest and last attempt was getting a number on a letter cell in another puzzle and having that breaking my 123 triples in The Map.

If you need help I'm happy to try, if you have Discord you can DM me or post a question here. My advice is to start with the Map and go from there, and there is a bit of "If I put X here what happens" in it

Fantastic hunt! Managed to finish for the first time after joining last month and getting about 2/3 through Knightmare. Last puzzle took me forever but it was very satisfying to solve

I give up. After another 10 hours, I have broken the Act Two puzzles a third time. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but this is just too hard.

Hi all, can someone please help me finding the link to the Patreon only link on Discord? I’m new there and are somewhat lost…

What's with the detailed environmental descriptions? I've never read something like that. I wonder if the creator is just very interested in interior designs or something... Good puzzles in any case

Great fun, I especially enjoyed the interplay between puzzles in Act 2, and Act 3 was a nice easy rounding off!

Oh my. I guess I went all wrong at it and got it right in the second try anyway. After solving act 1 I noticed that the entire alphabet was contained in the puzzle, each letter exactly once. So I thought about a word that might fit the theme and in the second attempt I got it right. Later that day I found out that there was this riddle that you could have solved to get to the word. Totally missed that.

Got it, only took me about 3 days 🤣
