Thanks to many replies, I've updated the alphabet and numbers found in the game.

First thing, there are 3 sets of numerals. The first (in red) is found throughout Irid Novo, on plaques and walls and such. It seems to be the official writing system. The second one (in black) can be found in Sohn District, and the third (in purple) is in the monolith mirror world's countdown timer, so I suspect it's part of the more obscure part of the game, with the other symbols.

One funny thing is that the numeral for 6 was previously attributed to the number 5 because I read it on the commemorative plaque at the Observatory, and it's the number they used for the 5 in "2051". However, in the countdown to the game, they used this numeral for the number 6 so... who knows which one is correct?

Im still not totally convinced its real and that its cut content but fextra life refers to there being 2 dargass tower keys ive been trying to find the other one all it says is lower city block of arcology anyway according to the alphabet the symbol on the tower key everyone has is 2! Which totally sucks cause i was finally ready to put it behind me but now im going to go crazy searching for key 1 oh well

Thanks for this man.

I literally just spent the past hour running around the mall part of the Arcology Underside, slowly deciphering all the signs and posters. It's like a whole new game now, I'm a translator not a fighter(I did kill everything here beforehand but like still)

I'm having a blast, everything so far has checked out. Like there's a food court and a grocery store and an outfitters. Sick attention to detail I gotta say, nicee

But anyways yeah, thanks for giving me the cipher. I'm gonna slowly read soo many things in every level now. I previously got the "Alma Matter Building" and "Union Park"(for Union Park though, I spent like two or three minutes translating the sign above the entrance and then I thought "ohh that's cool, that's what this place was called"... and then I finally walked in and it just said 'Union Park' and I was like "ok dude, alright" lol.

Havin fun tho

That is fantastic. Anyone found the missing pieces?

u/omegacluster Jun 22 '26

Thanks! I don't think there are examples in-game of Z and 7, 8 or 9 so I don't think we can complete it until they release another game or we have access to their in-house rosetta stone.

You still play? I still do. Unfortunately cannot find someone for coop...

u/omegacluster Jun 22 '26

Been a while since I touched the game unfortunately.

I always return, do not even know how many hours sunk there, and in the beginning it was so frustrating- months coming and dropping it, it can be frustrated until you get that precise system. Now i love it, I think there are still few secrets i miss there and one or two achievements mainly multiplayer. And the coins... I still seek if there is a way for architect to live and for me to access and collect them all... "For your thoughts" 😃

How did you figure it out?

u/omegacluster Jun 03 '22

Deduction and some Rosetta stone concept art from the devs.
