About

The Forgotten Script

Features
Read full description

An ancient script lies scattered across forgotten ruins. Each glyph hides a letter. Each inscription hides a message. Your job: crack the cipher. The Forgotten Script is a meditative puzzle game where you decode encrypted quotes and inscriptions by mapping mysterious glyphs to letters. Start with a few revealed clues, then use logic, pattern recognition, and linguistic intuition to uncover the rest. EXPLORE THE RUINS Each run is an expedition through a series of rooms, each containing a new cipher to solve. Progress deeper, earn higher scores, and uncover increasingly complex encryptions across four difficulty levels — from Novice to Expert. DAILY CHALLENGE A new puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Compete on the daily leaderboard and build your streak. Miss a day? A free rescue is available once per month, and Pro members get a weekly streak shield. GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS Climb weekly and all-time leaderboards across three puzzle languages. Your best four runs each day count toward your standing — no need to grind endlessly. THREE PUZZLE LANGUAGES Decode ciphers in English, Turkish, and Spanish. Each language draws from its own unique bank of quotes and inscriptions, offering a fresh challenge for multilingual players.
