In which Otto is confronted by his past.
Difficulty Rating: [4/5]
The second of the guest-created mini series 'The Stone Leaves', which will run Mar-May 2019. This extra special season is its own stand-alone micro adventure, taking place in the Cryptogram universe but following a new character - Otto, a reclusive magic user who is coaxed out of retirement. Written and designed by Alexi Conman, the series also features cover illustrations by Steve Larder and, in this particular instalment, internal illustrations by D Newman and cover colours by Jack Fallows.
As this is a stand-alone arc, it is perfect for first time readers. But seasoned readers will also be rewarded with backstory relevant to our main storyline. What will this mean for Anna's story when we return to her in June? Read to find out!
Cryptogram Puzzle Post is a monthly illustrated puzzle story inspired by witchcraft and alchemy. Each issue consists of an envelope, containing a series of pages that form a stand-alone chapter in the ongoing story of Anna; a young witch exploring the mysteries of a world not unlike our own. You begin by reading the first page, studying the illustration and puzzling to find the right shard of information that will help you progress towards your final answer. To try it for yourself, visit the ‘Freebies’ section of the website to download the first three issues.
This project is an entirely self-published experiment in art, gaming and storytelling; created by artist Jack Fallows, printed by local workers co-op Footprint (Leeds, UK) and lovingly assembled by hand. The envelopes are roughly A5-size and full-colour laser printed, and the interior pages are all two-colour risograph prints.
