About

Cindertext

Read full description

Cindertext is a quiet memory game about an archivist recording the last words of a folding nebula. A word flashes briefly, then you swipe one continuous path across the face-down constellation plates to spell it — the drag is both the reveal and the match. • Watch the word, then trace it across the plates in one stroke • The plates are yours to remember — decoys and a scramble creep in later worlds • Trace cleanly to hold the echo and earn up to three stars 5 worlds — First Reverberation, The Fold, Chamber of Halves, Doppler Garden, Final Echo — 100 echoes. Two optional tools (Hint replays the path, Restore unwinds a scramble) for stubborn plates. Built with Flutter. No accounts. No cloud saves. Core gameplay is fully offline — internet is only needed for optional ads. Contains optional ads; third-party ad SDKs may collect device identifiers for ad serving (see Privacy Policy).
