Dislocation
A petite puzzle game as a Prelude to “Don’t Shoot the Messenger”
A series of codes and mechanical puzzles, hiding a secret message
You have been liaising with your puzzle friend, Blake, online for quite some time now. You both have the same interests and seem to like the same games. You’ve even swapped a few physical games before but this time Blake has asked to send you something different. You have no idea what it is but you are keen find out.
The Puzzle
Dislocation is a wooden puzzle game featuring mechanical puzzle locks to open and codes to break. The whole puzzle is initially locked inside the box and once the coded puzzles are completed it will allow you to open another locked compartment to get to the hidden message.
Small but Mighty
Physically the game is quite small, but it's still a good challenge to complete. The game is currently taking around five hours to complete and there is a nice gap to have a rest between each code.
Coded Messages
The box contains a series of codes that have to be solved in order before you can progress. The box is still a physical puzzle because each code can only be solved when the pieces are in the correct location.
