WELCOME TO YOUR NEW JOB AT THE AGENCY!
It is your first day at your new job as an audio analysis agent in this unique and challenging audio puzzle game! You are tasked with decoding encrypted messages hidden within audio cassette tapes using only the functions of an old cassette player.
This was a game that was initially made for the Brackeys 2020 game jam with the theme Rewind. We are planning on continuing to expand to add more levels and tapes in the future!

this was so fun! great visuals and great audio. Loved the concept of the game and listening to each different story on the tapes was really fun!
After the white tape with two words, I get the same tape again, and the game locks up when I try to submit a result.
Ah yes that's the last tape. I ran out of time to add an end screen. We're going to release a post jam version that's a bit more polished. Thank you for the feedback!
Can't get past level 3, it won't take "relocated" as an answer.
Ah that's because it's not the right answer. It is very close though so maybe we should tweak the system to be more lenient. Thank you for the feedback!
I keep hearing "between" for one of the tapes but it wont take between
Oh that tape has two words in it. We’re going to add some visual prompts to help make that clearer. Btw that’s also the last tape and there is no end screen so it will get stuck on that one once you’ve submitted it once
OK, thanks for letting me know, great game btw
