KEY 2
Best played in fullscreen mode. [Dev. note (02/04): KEY 2 currently lacks a SAVE system. The game will restart if the browser is refreshed, but completed sections can be skipped from the CHAPTERS screen.]

LETS FREAKING GO. That was killer set of puzzles, what a treat! I loved the story to, great series of clues and misdirects! The style was fantastic as well. Great work! The only points of improvement I think are the polish. Some music, more sound effects, maybe the scenes transition with one of those Mega-man high contrast fades? Could also maybe use some ambient post processing effects, like CRT lines or static. An rpg-style text grumble with the dialogue could also add a nice dimension to it. Overall best puzzle was the final one. Hugely underused cypher technique!
thank you so much for the feedback! You’ve definitely encouraged me to keep working on it. It seems like audio is always the last thing I work on, and it doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. I really like your idea of adding static or something - it would fit the vibe of the game.
Thanks again for your encouraging words!
Nice! Of course too short. (wink) Thank you. I just wonder why the "2". And please make more similar to this one. Not too hard, not too easy.
thank you so much for your comments! 😊
I debated whether or not to call it Key 2. It’s the sequel to a game called The Key, but the first game has a lot of bugs so it’s not currently available on itch.
The first game was actually a loose remake of an older game called The Key which ended up being renamed Shift. It’s available on itch as a download. The second puzzle in Key 2 (‘pick a number…’) came from that original version of The Key.
Here’s the link if you’re interested. (It’s actually quite a bit harder than Key 2, I’m afraid. Maybe too hard.)

Stuck with the SmythLock in the cabin...... I get that it's 1337 talk but can't come up with a word :(
hi cherepaxa, i'll give you a hint. it's a bit of a spoiler, so i'm going to encode it:
go to this site: https://cryptii.com/pipes/a1z26-cipher
click DECODE and enter the following text in the left-hand box:
20 8 5 1 14 19 23 5 18 9 19 9 14 25 15 21 18 13 5 13 15 18 9 5 19 5 14 3 15 4 5 9 20 20 15 7 5 20 20 8 5 3 15 13 2 9 14 1 20 9 15 14Was overthinking, haha, thanks :)
Still stumped, I thought it'd be the name, but no :( Gotta keep thinking
no problem! thanks for asking - maybe i'll include a 1337 puzzle in the sequel! :-)
(also, be sure to click RESET before trying the combination again)
Ah, you gotta click the SmythLock button!!!
you got it :-)

thank you so much! i hope the ending wasn't too abrupt - I'm working to flesh that out. thanks for playing!
