Last week when I played ШП, a set of puzzles recreation with deliberately baffling interfaces, I puzzled if me not talking its native tongue of Russian was even an issue. Nonsense you possibly can’t learn is similar as nonsense you possibly can, proper? Well, developer Xitilon has since added an English translation and… oh god, yep, that is nonetheless mighty complicated. But now I do have some obscure hope of accurately navigating this UI hell of buttons, menus, sliders, containers, pop-ups, progress bars, tabs, calendars, and cryptic clues.
ШП is a sequence of puzzle video games constructed from customary Windows UI parts which make completely no rattling sense. It’s the least user-friendly interface I’ve ever seen, and that is fairly intentional. Several readers identified that the Russian textual content — which I couldn’t learn — was gibberish to them to and yep, this continues within the new English translation. Even the useful suggestions want deciphering.
I’m delighted by this. I’ve little clue what I’m doing however I get nearer. I can’t present you the answer however right here, look, extra mashing on one puzzle – this time in English:
That’s simply me noodling to indicate a few of the weirdness, thoughts. I guarantee you that my precise puzzle-solving approach is way extra thought-about. Yuh huh for actual.
ШП is £zero.79/€zero.99/$zero.99 on Steam. I see one other puzzle is out now as paid DLC, containing so many sliders and enter containers. Maybe after I beat one of many unique puzzles…
