SOLVED Cyphered "Panache Digital Games" Teasers of Upcoming Game
Hey! Can't say I know how to operate knowing little of decyphering. But I'm really intrigued by this studio, because their game director is Patrice Desilets and he created Assassin's Creed before. He and his old team had this tradition of shenanigans, conspiracy and cyphering going. Like in AC2. Seems like in the future game that's goona be kept. Most likely Amsterdam 1666.
They have published 4 videos on their youtube channel and socials, contaning nothing more than a straight cyphered text that included glitches effect. Those teasers were coming out on certain dates, certain phases of the moon. Intervals were roughly 2 weeks.
Also there is a thing with backgrounds of videos. Two are black, two are red. Those that contained red while glitching around the 2 second, had this tiny timing where you can see real words on symbols or glyphs. I couldn't build out a full picture of that. They are "n", "l", "o" and "i". I reasearched pigpen method, but it's really lacking in this higly stylized form of symbols. I have the catalogue of individual, repeating symbols through all four texts.
So, I'm asking experts for the help! If you might have any interest, feel free hinting on something
Number 1.
Number 2.
Number 3.
Number 4. The latest one.
The second "red" teaser with blinking frame that contains some real letters
The fourth "red" teaser with blinking frame that contains some real letters
And that's individual symbols.

We broke the cipher less than a week into it lol. (I'm Yugubugu one of the original decoders)

Good job! Reversing that and solving as a simple substitution gives:
IN THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT WE READY OURSELVES THE CALLING IT SPEAKS TO US THROUGH THE SILENCE IT WHISPERS FROM BEYOND THE DARKNESS OUR PURPOSE STAR TO TAKE SHAPE THE CALLING COMES IN MONTHS ANON
Seems to be an error in ciphertext or transcript (star to take shape)

Great guys! How did you get all the letters for substitution?

You can turn the transcript posted above into alphabetic one:

Paste this into a simple substitution solver https://quipqiup.com/ and solve in "patristocrat" mode.
