Ooooooooooo @Fawkeless bringing out da big wordddssss…

I really like this game

Alright, demo has been updated with new and improved riddle (well, now it’s actually half riddle half puzzle), featuring:

No more caesar shift!

Now lets see who sees through this version the first.

I want one hint.
Is the answer a person a place or a object.

@faewkless Between the 3 categories you gave me to choose from… it would be closest to person.

So its like a profession or creature e.g guard, demon,king, our dark lord cthulu

Close enough.

I really can’t wait to see the reaction when someone figures it out.

A code cracking team must be formed.
“Three points
On haft”
So a shovel?

The riddle speaker seems like a dragon. You used wyrm is game but that didn’t work, three pointed haft refers to an arrow obvious the bane if dragons. It and fletcher didn’t work, am I on the right track here?

I’m thoroughly confused about the last few lines though.
"I be liars bane,

Cunning and crafty, though kindness they may feign,

Yet only seeking personal gain,

In pitch forever they shall remain,"

No idea what this is referring to though.

Like I said to faewkless before, the answer is closest to the category of person.

If whatever you choose doesn’t fit the qualifications given (e.g. smile most dire etc.) it most likely is incorrect.

That’d have to be one really OP arrow to kill a dragon though.

One arrow did kill Smaug.

It is a pretty hard riddle, so it is closest to being a person, the answer. I still don’t know though might have some ideas.

Well, half riddle, half puzzle (now anywho), more correctly.

Words of advice: simply analyzing one part in and of itself won’t help you overmuch, looking over the entire thing on the other hand… let’s put it this way, there’s a reason I added, changed, and wrote what I did.

Ok guys, I basically stumbled upon the correct answer to the riddle, and I’m kinda confused about it. Should I say what it is, or do you guys want to continue speculating?

Edit: I googled it, and the answer makes sense now.

Post the answer as a spoiler, maybe? Cause I sure as hell want to know what the answer is.

Alright, the answer is
Malebranche
.

I tried for like 20 minute to figure it out, and finally got frustrated and just entered @Malebranche’s user name, and it worked. Didn’t make any sense to me until I googled it.

The answer is Malebranche.

Also,I love this demo,the writting is awesome,and finally some love for steampunk genre.

Hope you keep it up @Malebranche.

God damn it @fantom I didn’t even notice your comment :frowning: Y u do dis?

I’m still playing it, but so far my only complaint is that after the riddle the game goes way too long before presenting another choice, and there’s a number of spots already there that would be perfect to insert choices.

-rumbling angrily-
Curse you male branche!
I thought he might have put his name as an answer but I thought “oh he wouldn’t do that thats too obvious” -starts flipping every table in a one mile radius-

I had half a mind that someone might do that, lol. I’m surprised nobody mentioned the line “The first of all second etc.” though,
