WHITE HOUSE, TN: Today, Hero Game Co announced the release of their second indie game Prose & Codes, out now on Steam and itch.io for $9.99 with a limited time 10% discount.
Explore beloved literary genres—from nostalgic children’s stories to bone-chilling horror—by decrypting excerpts from some of literature’s finest works.
"Every single excerpt was hand-selected," said Rachel Reed, one-half of the husband and wife duo at Hero Game Co. "Our hope is that at least one will pique the interest of each player, leading them to discover--or rediscover--a treasure trove of public domain literature."
Prose & Codes makes this easy by providing spoiler-free synopses plus direct links to free e-books—courtesy of Project Gutenberg—for every story featured. These e-books can be read in browser or downloaded as pdfs, epubs, and more.
Game features include:
350 deceptively simple substitution ciphers, each from different works of literature
7 engaging genres to choose from including sci-fi, mystery, and adventure
Stunning background art featuring vintage illustrations
Easily save excerpts and books to read later
Soothing piano soundtrack, dark mode, and enlarged text options
A portion of every sale will go to Project Gutenberg, an online library of over 60,000 free e-books
Prose & Codes is available on Steam and itch.io for PC, Mac, and Linux, so players can start decrypting now!
