Do you like ciphers? Do you like spending minutes, hours and days working around them? Me neither, but clearly someone does, hence this little puzzle game called MBST1. It is still in open beta status, but the main goal of the game is to solve the encoded messages by replacing the letters to the point that you finally see the whole original message.
On casual level it might be simple - you can see the spaces between words, you will get the first letter for free, so all you have to do is deal with rest of the message. But that is on the casual, the lowest difficulty level. When you reach a bit higher the characters the original spaces between words are removed and the letters are put together in 4-letter-long strings or... there are no spaces at all.
But that’s just for the kids - on high difficulty levels not only the spaces are removed, but also replaced with random characters. I guess there is a reason why the highest difficulty level is called "instant headache".
It is a very simple and minimalistic game, which so far offers a single game mode, but in future it is suppose to have a story mode as well, which is unusual for puzzle games.
Game requires keyboard to play.

★★★★☆

Geoguessr clone with one difference - it is free. Well, few differences, actually.

Factory simulation game in style of Factorio, but with less emphasis put on resources and more on developing processes.

Geography game, in which you are dropped somewhere in the world in a Google street view and all you have to do is guess where the heck are you.

Stalker 2, game under development in Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, again hits the news, and again not for particularly good reason.
