Conundrum 929 Reviews

I really enjoy puzzle games, but this one was far-fetched and a bit tinfoil hat for me. I really tried to get into the game, but it was mostly just boring and uninspiring crypto puzzles using various ciphers and methods for obfuscating text. meh.

I simply havent been able to play it, it seems. Here's how my minimal experience with the game been: I initially set my difficulty to hard since I know how to navigate the internet and Im kinda familiar with some ARG/internet riddles. On the first page you're supposed to help decipher the runes on a tree. Reading the comments my first instinct is to try to user the search bar to read more about Futhark runes, typing it in there makes nothing happens. I think "oh well I probably need a full url". So I try to think "hey since 'reddit' is renamed 'reding', there's probably an alt name for wikipedia or google and i need to find to be able to type like "http/wikipedia/Futhark" or whatever. So I try to click the username to see if I can bring posts mentioning it. Nothing. Maybe the names aren't clickable because the games expect you to type the urls yourself so I go and type manually "https://www.reding.com/u/Thunderinbolt97". Nothing happends still! A bit annoyed I decide to switch difficulty all the way down to easy to have a feel of how things are set up and how the hint system works. the hint is "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Futhark". Im like "oh okay so there wasn't an alt name for wikipedia, they didn't rename it like they did reddit" so I just copypaste the url in the game search bar to see what's up. STILL NOTHING! Im like ???? OKAY???? am I missing something? I click 'give me another hint' and it tells me what? "Type the result in the browser’s search bar" THAT'S WHAT I DID! I both did the copypasting and the manual typing. NOTHING HAPPENS. I even considered "hey maybe this is a glitch from changing difficulty half-way through" so I restarted the game directly on easy difficulty just to be sure and no, I still can't do shit. I'd say this game is so far just "staring at a PNG but technically Im able to upvote/downvote the post and click on the tab name to reset the page so I guess there's one interactive feature... PS: the right click that makes a "copy/select all" menu appear seem to be bugged too. Most of the time the menu is so microscopic you can't see it https://file.garden/ZRXZCfKULjLI59zM/GIF.gif
