This is something I still havent found out even after hours of trial and error. A hint was given on the tumblr, "Perhaps you may find the answer when reflecting upon yourself. You may have to look below the surface of the first answer you find." Reflecting seems to be mirror, or Atbash Cipher, and below the surface means its a multi-cipher. If you find anything let me know!! Only thing ive found as an end result is 'iwmanntboomih'...
I recognize a game made with such love the moment I see it, and this is definitely one of them; I’m eagerly looking forward to Chapter Three. The art is adorable, and the story is simply captivating—I love how naturally flirty Stan is with the user and how sweet Ford is so much fun from this
Very excited for chapter 3. This is honestly one of the best dating sims I've played on here. I love the art, story, and the original characters (Hattie is my goat) and the soundtrack. I'm really excited to see where the story goes next.
I tried to decode the text within the website, and with the Vigenere Cipher and the key PINES, it finally worked ("Somethings lurking beneath the surface..."). I've been trying with different ciphers for the "thxlyyzmzzxts" but i havent found any matches yet.
The tumblr page posted a clue: "Perhaps you may find the answer when reflecting upon yourself. You may have to look below the surface of the first answer you find."
Its definitely a multi-encryption, and with the "reflecting", i do think it starts out with Atbash. However, I'm unable to figure out the others.. Luckily, the tumblr page said that more clues will appear as the chapters go on.
Edit: Somehow, everything leads back to 'ginatingmanin' and 'iwmanntboomih.' Not sure what those mean.
on the edge of my seat, i JUST found this game like, yesterday and couldnt stop playing it. the storyline, the art, the sprites, all of them are amazing!!!! i cant wait until chapter 3 comes out
The love meter will fill up more with each new chapter! It looks low right now since we're on Chapter 2. If you read Stan's note during that section, it will give insight into how he feels so far! <3
About two years have passed before the game's storyline begins, so Dipper and Mabel are around 14/15, and Stan and Ford are in their late 60s (since they don't have a canon age)!
I love Hattie she's such a sweetheart! This is honestly such a good game! super interested in how it will be going! I will look forward to the next chapter!^^
Love chapter 2 so far. going to go back and play though Stan's route too soon. I did notice that when using open dyslexia there are a few parts of where the words are cut off (in one of these instances the default font does the same).
Other then that I love the writing and can't wait to see what you come up with in chapter 3 (and I will hopefully upload a playthrough of Stan's route soon).
EEEE thank you so much for playing!! And we greatly appreciate you letting us know about the text running off at times; we'll work on fixing that and publish an update when that's complete!
the stan twins dynamic is spot on, whoever wrote the dialogue really gets how these two work together. nice to see a fan game that actually feels like it belongs in the gravity falls universe
I figured out the little symbols we see when exploring the boat a little! Fun! But I saw 'Thxlyyemzzxts' during chapter 1 iirc and I don't know how to decode it :/
This is my first time playing your game, and it's so beautiful! It's so comforting with the art, and you stayed perfectly true to Stan and Ford's characters!
I GOT SO HAPPY WHEN SAW CHAPTER 1 WAS OUT! Though i was jump scared when they said something about me being called cipher, i thought i could have a silly billford moment haha!
GAH!! I FINALLY played through this (fake friend I know I'm sorry jdfjkafd) AND I'M OBSESSED OMG!! I didn't expect the direction you took this in but I'm bouncing off the walls!!! Single-handedly reigniting my love for these old men. I can't wait to see where this goes!! Amazing work as always <3
(SPOILERS) My heart melted when Stan gave us that plushy UGHH it was so adorable. I can't wait to see more of this in the future. You got something really good going on in here <3
hi i really wanna play this game but im on pc i downloded the pc file and exported it but it wont show me the game can someone help me of show a video on how to do it?

“Thxlyyemzzxts.”(if it even is one)

AHH!! love this game still. I decoded the text on the main page, but not the chapter 2 text... still trial and error!
spoiler:
use the Vigenere Cipher with the code PineswinkI squealed MULTIPLE times while playing this because of how you guys have characterized my boys 🙏
This is so cute, I played the original demo and didn't realize there was a new page! I am very glad I found it. :)
this game is so relaxing and sweet, the visuals are also wonderful, i cant wait for chapter 3
I love everything about this game - it's so relaxing! Can't wait for the following updates :)
I loved this work is amazing
Love the new Chapter!

so near the end of chapter 2 i noticed some strange text in the log. "thxlyyemzzxts". does anyone have any idea what this might be?
i tried to decipher it with all the ciphers i know but i didn't come up with anything
Maybe it's a mix of Atbash and Caesar, like you do the Caesar code first and then Atbash? I'd try it myself, but I'm so busy
Yeah that could be, i'll have to check when i get home

WELCOME WELCOME !! We're so happy you enjoyed the game! 🥺💙
Forgot to actually play the update I've been excited and waiting for, until today.
The art is pleasant, love the characterization of the Stans, and I'm glad Hattie seems like a non-issue/friendly. I like Hattie :)
If anyone knows that word cipher, lemme know ;)
is there no way to fill the bar up (love meter) or i just suck at romancing Stanley </333 :sobs:
The love meter will fill up more with each new chapter! It looks low right now since we're on Chapter 2. If you read Stan's note during that section, it will give insight into how he feels so far! <3
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH IM GONNA CRY WHEN THE NEXT CHAPTER COMES OUT W DEVS W GAME
(Also random question, how old are all the twins in this game? Just curious cuz in the family photo Dipper and Mabel look older.)
