A downloadable ⟎

A two-player cooperative puzzle, in ⟎ you and your partner will create and modify words to achieve four goals, two per player. The hitch is, both goals and rules for creation and modification are secret,  unique to each player and random.

Turns unfold like a conversation: propose a word, watch it mutate through the course of the dialogue, and finish it when you think you learned enough. If all goals are fulfilled in a single conversation, both players win.

Every game the role your symbols assume shifts. You will need to guess the other party's  rules from the patterns in the words they create and exploit them to fulfill your goals - without saying a word.

Estimated play time: 2 hours.
