Zork was a lot more fair than what was going on in Tunic though by blackwater 03/24/2024, 9:58pm PDT
Or at least, that's what I think. I remember getting stuck and looking up a few things about the game on the internet and just thinking "bullshit!"

Like I was expecting that eventually you'd find something that would auto-translate the "manual cards" that you find. But apparently it's written in English with some kind of substitution cipher and you have to use cryptanalysis on it? Bullshit!

Oh yeah and the cryptograms look like this:



You can then read clues like:


the softest feather; corrected eleven times; departed once more.


Which "obviously" translates to a series of key presses that you must make, in a specific place ... I'm not even going to tell you what they are but rest assured, it's bullshit.

I wouldn't mind if this was optional content or something, but ... it just feels like sitting down to play Mario and getting a kaiso level instead. Rude!
