Encoded War

Encoded War is a $5.99 indie simulation where you play a Morse code operator in WWII, receiving and transmitting coded messages under time pressure across a 5-year contract narrative. It tests Morse code fluency while embedding the mechanic in a story about family and wartime duty. From Somnolent Team, it is a niche title for players interested in the Morse code skill as a gameplay element.
