Cipher is a short (15-20 min) side-scrolling platformer that follows the story of a young couple as they mature and grow. With an art style inspired by Baudot Code, uncover the mystery behind the characters’ inner thoughts by decoding the levels you traverse and finding collectibles that slowly reveal the truth.
All of the work for this game (level design, mechanics, sound engineering, art, etc.) was done independently.
