About

A voice is saying your name. A WWII-era machine, long hidden in a church basement, whirs to life. Through a crackling speaker a man asks you to find a stolen book. He only knows the title. Time is running out. The machine, created by Bletchley Park engineers Cecil Caulderly and Beatrice Dooler, contains a vast archive of obscure books, letters, and journals fed in over the span of fifty years in an attempt to crack the code of reality. As their lives fell apart, the machine kept working. Navigate the computer’s archive. Link its obscure texts and uncover its creators’ secrets. Communicate with the man behind the speaker to figure out your role in this mystery. Destroy the book at the core of the machine — before it’s too late. NARRATIVE DEDUCTION - Deduce links through the archive to locate hidden sources. - Unravel the stories and unearth the secrets of the books’ authors and the machine's creators. - Map the archive and find the book that will rewrite the world. INTERACTIVE AUDIO DRAMA - Talk with your handler at any time, creating a dynamic audio drama that responds as you explore. - Featuring the voices of Rebekah McLoughlin (The SCP Archives, Eternal Threads), Paul Warren (A Highland Song, Viewfinder, The Séance of Blake Manor) and Phillipe Bosher (Baldur's Gate 3, Doctor Who, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy). - Original soundtrack by Laurence Chapman (A Highland Song, Heaven's Vault, The Mask of the Rose). INSPIRATIONS TR-49 takes inspiration from narrative deduction games like The Roottrees are Dead and The Return of the Obra Dinn, and from audio dramas like The Magnus Archives and ars PARADOXICA. Written and created by the award-winning team behind 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, Overboard!, and A Highland Song.

Intuitive and enjoyable

Somewhat slow start until I understood the mechanics and the coding that began to take on more clarity as I found more clues..The multiple endings threw me since I thought I had found the solution that benefitted the scenario but then found it was a fail? wasnt a hard fix but it did confuse and frustrate me at first.. Only criticism I have is the AMOUNT of books, much of it seemed useless or at the most a distraction. The tension was there at times and the situation of the timeline/identity reveal was hinted at in several locations but still had an added twist..A very refreshing enjoyable experience in puzzle games for the iOS, intuitive on a challenging level but not impossible to work through.

Text too tiny

This is largely a text reading game, but the text is so small I can't read it. Especially on the machine that is a central focus of the game where the text is yellow on yellow. Feel like i just wasted 7 bucks.

Abbi

“Abbi! Abbi! Talk to me Abbi! Abbi Abbi! Abbi! Abbi talk to me Abbi! Abbi!” 5 seconds in and I already want to punch this guy. Calm down. I’ll talk to you after I look around.

Too small on iPhone

You have to read tiny text on a flickering, jittery screen that's much smaller than your phone's screen; it's just too much eye strain for me. Not to mention that I have more important things to do with my mind than try to solve contrived puzzles. Deleted and going to request a refund through the App Store (you can do that, y'know).

A real brain game

This game is not for the faint hearted. You have to read. Pay attention. Make deductions. Channel your inner Bletchley park analyst. You are only fighting for reality itself.

Enjoyable concept and puzzle

Spent about an hour with it each evening for 1-2 weeks. Great concept and exploration. In the end the solution and resolution is disappointing.

What is happening?

This is great. You are supposed to be confused. Persevere!

No sound

I have the subtitles but can’t get sound to work at all. Restarted, uninstalled, reinstalled..

A satisfying associative puzzler

I really enjoyed piecing my way through the world of TR-49. If you like deductive games like Type Help or Return of the Obra Dinn, I think you'd enjoy this one as well. It feels right at home on iPad: swiping through files and operating the machine is super satisfying. The story works its way into your mind, and I find myself thinking about it long after I've finished. I made my way to an ending in an evening, like a novella I couldn't put down.

Missing Cloud Saves

Interesting game so far, but could you please add the support for cloud saves? Would love to switch between iPhone and iPad to play this.

Baffling then engrossing

I almost gave up ten minutes in. Really, really glad I stuck it out. A great, slow burning story with two standout voice actors.
