The Wake is a record of past wounds opened at a three-day funeral. The journal is encoded with a simple substitution cipher that the player must break in order to reveal the writer’s psyche and discover the contradictions that define him.

ngl if u struggled to read this u probably have a learning disability
个人觉得有点一般,谜题还行但意思不大,故事比较东亚典型,平平淡淡的悲伤吧。
他和背影中的父亲那样一般的笨拙,但也一样爱自己的孩子,我是个孩子,我记恨他,也不妨碍我理解他。 居然是亲身经历啊虽然玩这三代游戏感觉到压抑感但是这作这么贴近生活真的很有感触了。 童年经历真的会塑造改变一个人的,非常好解密,喜欢这个作者的作品
소설 한 편을 퍼즐게임으로 옮긴 텍스트게임 한편의 고통스럽고 분노의 찬 남자의 인생과 그의 어머니의 고통을 보여주는 한편의 소설책. 이 게임을 해보고 과연 별로라고 할 수 있는 사람이 있을까?
퍼즐이 어려워서 막혔던 부분이 있었어요. 그래도 스토리는 재밌었어요 고조되는 음악도 몰입이 잘 됐어요
一个非常短平快的解密小游戏,讲述了游戏制作者somi本人在从小破碎的离异家庭里成长后在爷爷葬礼上和丢下家庭的父亲的和解,任然有憎恨、有缺憾,就像评论里有人提及,是作者自己用简易密码隐藏起来的、是害怕别人揭露又真心渴求倾诉的心情,是想和自己人生的悲剧和解的心情。
이것은 현대문학이다. 퍼즐은 매우 쉽습니다. 스토리가 여운이 많이 남네요.
게임이라는 정체성을 유지하기 위한 최소한의 퍼즐을 곁들인 글. 명쾌하지는 못하지만 생각을 많이 하게해 그 자체로 의미가 있었다.
interesting short game that wants you to solve its ciphers to truly unlock the whole story. each chapter has its own version of a cipher, and the game does well with its variations. for the full effect i recommend finishing to read a chapter before attempting to solve the ciphered pages! the story itself is very personal thus i'll refrain from commenting on that. the way the letters are presented are a little meh to me personally, and i got a headache from looking at it. turning on subtitles and reading those helped however! anyway, this game is difficult to recommend tbh. due to the private nature of the story, i felt somewhat of a voyeur reading through a journal i wasn't meant to read. the gameplay itself was almost more like a visual novel and while the ciphers added a neat element, i didn't feel particularly challenged. i'd say im very neutral towards this game.
纯谜题还是好玩的,虽然搞懂了密码结构之后真的很简单,一些小隐藏也是完全没隐藏,但这个故事不管是儿子还是母亲都在怀念这个赌博又酗酒谎话连篇的父亲,并且说到遗传要耗费自己很大的努力才能不成为抛弃孩子的父亲也是让我很无语(当然这种劣质基因遗传的可能性是很大)以及解谜最大的问题是我无数次把B看成E......
