Reception
The reception for the game before its completion was positive. TUAW complimented the game's storytelling aspect, writing, "A fascinating part of the game and what makes it rather enjoyable is that each code seems to form a kind of story." Kotaku gave a more mixed review due to the app charging for puzzle hints, writing "I do understand that the developer needs to make money off this game somehow, but it's hard not to walk away with the sense that it was deliberately made difficult to try to squeeze as much money away from people as possible. Maybe that's just me being cynical. And maybe it doesn't matter in the end—the game is pretty damn good."
