Peek behind the scenes of CIPHER ZERO.

CIPHER ZERO is a minimalist logic game that began as CIPHER, a Ludum Dare #45 entry in October 2019.

Since then, the game has been developed into a fully-featured title where you travel through a world that reacts to your evolving comprehension and mastery...

While we constrained ourselves to incredibly minimal communication within the title, we wanted to share a few stories and techniques we employed for a few artistic and technical executions in the game.
