Our take on The Wave Story

Rather than relying on a single puzzle format, the game uses audio, images, and ciphers as clue material. Its stated structure also includes hidden puzzles beyond the 10 counted ones, making discovery part of the puzzle-focused progression.

What is The Wave Story?

The Wave Story is a puzzle game built around solving enigmas from clues.

Puzzles use audio, pictures, ciphers, and other forms of material. The game contains 10 puzzles, along with additional puzzles hidden for players to find. Its challenge grows more difficult as the story progresses, with a gradual increase in difficulty described as intense. The central task is to interpret the proposed hints and solve each puzzle to continue through the story. Inspired by Notpron, the game focuses on puzzle solving rather than describing a wider set of gameplay systems.
