About the Game

Unwind. Decode. Discover.

  • Decode over 200 hand-selected quotes

  • Enjoy a relaxing, calm aesthetic

  • Choose from multiple tracks for your preferred background music

  • Take a break at any time thanks to the built-in autosave feature

A portion of proceeds go to Project Gutenberg and small, local libraries.

"The nice thing about doing a crossword puzzle is, you know there is a solution." - Stephen Sondheim
