Description

"Awesome and totally unexpected." —Shaun Inman
Blackbar is a text game: a sci-fi story of a dystopian future told through the medium of word puzzles. Reminiscent of text adventures and interactive fiction, it has a unique mechanic centered around the concept of censorship. Censorship is frustrating, but the human spirit can beat that frustration by turning it into a game.
You'll pick up Blackbar instantly; however, its challenges will keep you searching, thinking, and trying for days.

Ratings and Reviews
Absolutely brilliant!
I'm writing this just after completing the game. Is it well worth the money? __________!
Could ask for nothing more from a game of this style.
Unique Text-based Thriller
This game must be the first of its kind in the App Store. Deciphering censored letters can actually be so fun!
The riveting story unfolds through these letters and the urge to find out what happens next will keep you going on to the end.
Excellent game for any linguist
Beautiful mystery this game is. You'll need a higher than average vocabulary and sharp thinking. But the storyline is truly engaging. I must say the font really does it and every page is a ________.
