Hello! this is one of my first ever text based games, it's still in development so this is just a proof of concept or a demo, there are a good amount of choices you can make and I tried my best to have a couple good scares. I hope you like it, let me know what I can change or improve.

So is the code 5841 or do you have to do math w the cipher (5343)

5481!!!!!!!!!!! THE CODE IS 5481!!!!!

this is the first text based game i ever played and THIS IS AWESOMEEE!!!

But like, just to be sure: the password to the door is built by numbers, right??

am i the only one who wants to know how to decipher the wqqi tyqghivv gstbmy enrg
nsdv kjqv zv, isn vqblk imheze
njyi rzz kfem, rlrk pvzv pwp hfem?
isn pwp eiv bci fett sev.


or is it just me? someone else said it was a vigenere cipher, but that needs a code word, any ideas?

is it not 5841?

5481

i actually cant figure it out, help plssss ;-;

damn i figured out the riddle but im wayy to dumb to decipher the tv thing. ik this is a stupid thing to ask but i desperately need a clue, maybe something to atleast help  make deciphering easier bc i feel like its so obvious and im being dumb loll

I think the vinegar thing is spelled incorrectly bc its the name of a cipher code. 

 vigenere cipher. But I'm not really sure if that's it. I figured I would share what I found if it'd be helpful

"five children locked away

some come in, now eight remain

four are gone, what have you done?

now you are the only one." 

I tried 5841 but the code didn't work so I'm not entirely sure. I hope it helped at least a little :O)

it's definitely a vigenere cipher, but thats what makes it hard, because those cipher's need code words, so, got any guesses?

do not suggest these (i tried them):

- river

- vinegar

- vigenere

- chips

- room

- tv

- bed

- salt

its river, at least thats the code word i used.

cant seem to figure out cipher with answer to riddle- i use up my tricks i know i have to come back try to again after research on deciphering T-T

good luck everyone else who stuck on password- fighting!

(sorry for bad grammar my english is bad -v- i will working hard to fix it- for now i will stick to small words-)

awesome so far as well

RIVER: five children locked away some come in, now eight remain four are gone, what have you done? now you are the only one.
thats what i got in the cipher

YOU FALL INTO THE BACKROOMS BRUH!

Hey man good work! Thoroughly creeped me out, and definitely look forward to any future projects!

thanks man! ive been hella slacking on gamedev bc schoolwork but hopefully i'll get around to finishing it

cool but im too dumb to figure out the puzzles

Hey, can you make the game opensource?

isn't the password river

(+4)

Yes and no, thats not the key to the door, but it is important in finding the password

(+3)

THEN WHAT IS IT. I'M CONFUSED

(+1)

Same,I got the riddle answer but I Can't figure out the password

(+1)

5841.

The game can use some sfx

(+1)

hey um, the answer to the riddle is supposed to be the key to the cipher, right??

(1 edit)

oh shoot, i just tested it and i messed up when encrypting it, that's my b i'll update it rq

ok it should be fixed now

(+1)

glad it's fixed now. I'll give it a try right away.

bothering you one more time. i'm supposed press enter after putting the code right?? (dunno if i have to calculate anything or just put the numbers tho)

yeah you just put in the numbers, i think it's glitched i'll have to fix it

Woah, I've Been Trying To Check Out Some Of The New Horror Games, This Is One Of My Favorite Ones So Far (I Haven't Checked Out That Many Though!) I Really Love Survey-Type Horror Game's! Good Job, I Can't Wait To See Update's In The Game, Good Luck On It And Have A Great Day!
