Hello.
As some of you may have noticed, I didn't upload a game for Stencyl Jam 2015 this year. I had an idea for a game, but I was already working on another game that I wanted to finish first. At the time I finished it, making a game for the Jam would've been far too rushed, so I decided to save my idea for the next year :)
That said, I just uploaded the other game I was speaking of, after a long wait. It is a text-based adventure game, even if it may be a bit different than most other games of the same genre. I actually wasn't even planning on making this game to start with, but one night when I was trying to fall asleep, an interesting idea just suddenly popped into my head. That was the seed which inspired me to create this game!
I don't want to spoil too much, but the game is based on word puzzles/games of different kinds. It also features a riddle created by my sister. I asked her to create a slightly morbid riddle, and about 5 minutes later, she had one for me. Scarily impressive...
The game might be difficult, and then again, it might not be. It will be much easier for those who speak fluent English; that much is for certain. The first real level especially may be confusing, as the concept requires some getting used to. But I'll say it here like I said in the game description. Look at the title of the letter for hints, and seek after meaning behind some words and sentences in the text. That is as much as I am willing to give away :D
The music for the game was, naturally, made by myself. All of the "programming" was also made by me, in Stencyl, as well as the story and design.
I also want to thank my two faithful beta testers, @LunacyEcho & @absoluteDETH, who also created the credits screen in the end.
If there's anything you want to ask, please do so in the comments. Just remember, I won't spoil too much! ;)
That's pretty much it. Enjoy playing with letters, everyone!

I've finished it. I would have done it faster, but I wasn't seeing two of the letters I'd written down for the final puzzle.
Nothing to do with the difficulty of the final puzzle, just my ability to look at my own notes. Which is pretty laughable really.
However it does show the importance of taking a tea break to look at something afresh.

Congratulations, and good job! Also, thanks for fanning up :3
If only you knew how easily distracted I were... I'd probably end up doing something similar had I not made the game XD
Yes. Tea is indeed of uttermost importance. Speaking of tea... I'll actually go make some for myself right now. Thanks for the tip!
