The Forgotten Script
Read full descriptionHide 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. NO ADS. NO TIMERS. NO NONSENSE. The Forgotten Script respects your time. There are no advertisements, no energy systems, no wait timers. Play at your own pace, offline or online.

Slide colorful bricks to matching gates, swap to match three, and clear your way through 2,000 puzzles. OutBrick brings a different kind of block puzzle to your day: thoughtful moves, playful surprises and a whole Journey of toy-brick villages, with no timer rushing you. Whether you enjoy sliding puzzles, color sorting or match-3 games, each board invites you to look, plan and try a fresh approach. Play a few levels on a break or settle in for a longer puzzle session. Every level plays offline. SLIDE, SWAP AND MATCH • Drag a brick toward open space and choose where it stops. Guide it through a gate of its own color to remove it from the board. • Swap neighboring single bricks to match three or more of one color. Unmatched swaps bounce back without spending a move. Shaped pieces slide, never swap. • Make bigger matches to create rockets, bombs and rainbow bricks. Combine their effects to open space and set up your next move. • Think around long, big, L and T-shaped bricks. A shaped piece moves as one and needs a gate wide enough to fit. A PUZZLE TO THINK THROUGH Work out which brick to move first, which gate to reach and how to free a crowded corner. Crates, moss, chests and other obstacles change the way a board opens up. Move limits give each puzzle a goal without a countdown. You can pause to consider a route, put the game down and come back at your own pace. Hidden bricks and covered rooms add discovery as your Journey continues. Sometimes the best next move creates room for a later one. Hints and optional boosters are there when you want a helping hand; they are tools to choose, not a requirement to buy your way through the game. 2,000 LEVELS, 167 VILLAGES Follow the Journey through villages built stud by stud from toy bricks. From Garden City to Clover Farm and beyond, each place gives your progress a home. Earn stars, return to earlier puzzles and keep exploring. Your completed levels and purchases stay with your saved progress when you update. MEET FIVE BRICK FRIENDS Pix, Luna, Brix, Nova and Max accompany your adventure with visual animations and text bubbles. They celebrate each clear without character voices. MORE REASONS TO RETURN • Three daily Missions give you goals alongside your Journey. • The Daily Brick reward adds a little celebration to your first clear of the day. • Explore the Brick Pass and its free reward track. • Take part in weekly events and seasonal celebrations. • Compare your progress through Game Center leaderboards and achievements. PLAY WITH VOICEOVER Explore bricks and the board through accessible descriptions and actions. VoiceOver helps communicate position, shape and the information available to the player; a hidden brick stays hidden rather than having its color revealed. Color symbols help distinguish pieces without relying on color alone. Adjust the experience with accessibility options and your device's display and motion settings. PLAY ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES Play on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro, with progress synced through iCloud. Apple Watch has its own sliding edition. Widgets, Live Activities, Siri, Shortcuts and iMessage stickers extend the experience. FREE TO START, CLEAR ABOUT CHOICE OutBrick is free to play, with optional in-app purchases for coins, boosters, packs and other extras. Lives and move limits are part of the game. Rewarded videos are optional and started by you: there are no banners or automatic interstitial ads between levels. An internet connection is needed for purchases, video ads and online services, but not to play the levels. Optional game analytics is off by default. You can choose whether to share it and change your choice in Settings. Declining does not restrict your gameplay, rewards or purchases. Questions or ideas? Tap Community in Settings to find player help and share your feedback. Find your next satisfying clear: one brick, one clever move and one village at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Forgotten Script at none against OutBrick's shown. The Forgotten Script also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). OutBrick's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 days) and device support (6 vs 3). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
