I played the version on IndieGala and I'm intrigued by the lore, and I enjoy the concept of the gameplay. However, I find it difficult to stick with the game, because the interface for the most frequent action in the game - decrypting individual characters - is so tedious. You have to click through all the characters until you get the one you're looking for, and I haven't found any alternative. I'd love to be able to select letters by clicking on them in a table showing all the letters, or perhaps to be able to type them in.

I completely understand the frustration of having to search for the wanted character, I'm thinking of a menu that will be prompted to select it without having to go through the entire alphabet. Thank you for the feedback!
