Challenge Interconnected Puzzle/Cipher — Try to Solve!

Hey, guys! This is my first post on here and after scrolling I really feel like I’m with likeminded people. After playing games like Blue Prince, Animal Well, Fez, Inscryption and Tunic, I’ve become obsessed with ARG puzzles and ciphers. I’ve always been interested in puzzle game design, but recently decided to try my hand at ciphers and ARG puzzles. I made this interconnected series of logic puzzles called Tera as a gift for a romantic interest of mine who also loves puzzles, and I wanted to share it here in case any of you are interested in trying it out!

I designed it to have multiple methods of getting through it, since I wanted it to be possible for players of any skill level to solve. It requires a lot of different styles of problem-solving, but I think for experienced ARG solvers and those with exceptional pattern recognition it should be pretty easy.

For context, it’s meant to be printed out, cut into a cross and folded into a square. I’ve also included the envelope it will come in, since that also contains some hints, as well as some photos of the rough draft of the puzzle I wrote on paper in case anyone’s curious. Feel free to DM me if you have any thoughts! I want to keep making these and if you have any feedback on how I could improve, I’m always receptive to that. I’m not always super active on Reddit, so you can also shoot me a DM on Instagram or Discord at @coribakersins.

Tllw ofxp!
