Please tell me in the discussions and I'll make sure to work on accessibility! ⭐️)FixesPuzzle fixes: Some puzzles algorithms and/or hints have been fixed.Extra help - Various fixes: When using the "Extra help?" hint level, you shouldn't get bugs anymore where the revealed letters disappear or the extra inputs vanish after inputting "?".Not "keeping words" - Various fixes: When you toggle off the "keep words" option (for extra difficulty 🌶🌶), you shoul…

This allows you to see what's behind it, and put annotations in this zone of the screen if you want.Annotations toolbar - Shortcut: Also, you can now use (as shown next to the pencil icon) to cycle between the 3 states of the annotation toolbar: OFF (= hidden and you don't annotate), ON (= shown in full and you annotate), MINIMIZED (= shown on the border of the screen and you annotate).FixesLevel 26: The hint and algorithm had a little bug. It's now fixed :)"Autofill letters" setting: When it'…

• v1.1.1 - QoL & Fixes - 8 September 2026

  Hi (again)!Here's a quick follow-up patch with a few extra fixes, and some quality-of-life improvements :)I've mainly:added sounds for the secret-related stufftweaked some hints in the last puzzlesdecided to show the info about the cipher directly in-game after you've completed a puzzle (with optionally extra URL links to learn even more on the net). So, for the most simple ciphers you'll just get a direct explanation in the panel and for more complex/famous ones you'll also get an extra link to a Wikipedia page or an online website that explains more about this cipher :)Stay tuned for more in the days to come - I'm sure the community still has a lot to discover... and to report to me ❤️ 😉Cheers!

• v0.5.0 - QoL, Fixes & Various improvements ! - 22 June 2026

  Heya all! 👋Thanks to the amazing feedback I got from my playtesters this week during the Steam Next Fest, I added/improved/fixed a bunch of little things in Locktale. These are mostly quality-of-life (QoL) features, but there are also a few bigger changes - namely puzzles 4 and 7 now use different ciphers! :)Below is a full list of what's changed.FeaturesCipher updates: Puzzles 4 and 7 now use different ciphers. I did this after receiving several remarks on puzzle 4 that used an alphagram cipher... which isn't very fun to decipher - so it got replaced by something else! :DCopy message: I've reintegrated a feature that was removed a while ago - the "copy message" button. So, now, if the puzzle allows it, you'll get a copy button in the top-right corner that you can click to directly get the encoded message in your clipboard; perfect for the hardcore decryptors who like to paste the puzz…
