This is a submission for the is a code-breaking game for the longest day of the year — and an ode to Alan Turing.
/ — prize category: Best Ode to Alan Turing.
You play a cryptanalyst working a single solstice day, from dawn to the long midsummer midnight. Intercepted signals arrive as pulses of light. You decrypt them by hand — and as each correct key falls into place, the dark message warms into gold. The day is a ladder through the real history of cryptanalysis, ending at the machine Turing built to win the war: the Bombe.
