About
Locust_4457 aims to encapsulate the fun of solving intricate puzzles found in ARG's while keeping everything within the bounds of the game. While it's a clear homage to Cicadia3301, it's approachable to those who find such puzzles daunting, while still hopefully stumping puzzle connoisseurs
Use in-game codecs to crack various ciphers including Caesar, morse code, binary and much more.

Some puzzles will require you to look around town, interact with unique characters, and keep your eye out for anything out of the ordinary

Puzzles follow a dynamic difficulty curve and can be completed in any order. If you find yourself stuck on one, try your hand at another!

Reviews
For someone who isn't the best at puzzle games, I really enjoyed the first few hours of this game. The puzzles I managed to solve have just enough detail and clues to help you along without making you feel like it just gave you the answer. Each one feels unique in its own way. I'll admit that I may have had some help on some of them but that didn't stop me from having fun trying to find the solution. Be warned that a few of the puzzles require you knowing pop culture references and stories from history. That being said, most people shouldn't have too much trouble with most of these.
Short and sweet with a good variety of different puzzles and a little town to explore. It had a few funny little random details to notice - I always love that kind of soul peeking through in games. The ending was surprising, clever, and left me wanting to know more about the story.

I enjoyed this game. I solved the first puzzle and got a bit stuck, worrying I wouldn't be able to finish everything. But after jumping around to different puzzles, exploring the world, and taking my time, I managed to solve all of them. I got a bit stuck toward the end, but the dev's helpful hint in the community discussions guided me to the end :) I think I'd maybe get more mileage out of this game if I wasn't familiar with a lot of these techniques already, but I still enjoyed my time and look forward to whatever the developer does next.
I'm a big fan of the type of puzzles Locust_4457 has. They require a bit of observation, some out of the box thinking and the ability to connect multiple pieces of disparate information. Most of them are pretty well made and not terribly difficult while still being satisfying to solve. It's got a cute and charming style, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Great little impulse purchase.
