Gameplay Tips

  • Explore websites as if they were islands
  • Press Y for a little start help (this will slow the game, give it time)
  • Collect HTML elements to grow your own island
  • Interact with link crystals to travel to new digital destinations
  • Found a cool new website, add the crystal to your homeisland for easy access

Saving & Loading

Your progress is saved on your own webpage, to visit it go to "https://dial-in-odyssey.onrender.com/island/" and add your name at the end

Example: "https://dial-in-odyssey.onrender.com/island/fint"

Known Issues

  • Multiplayer is still experimental, join a friend with the join code (top right of your screen)
  • Some website don't allow access, no island will load (Instagram, LinkedIn for example)
  • For now the server will reset if not used for a while, this will reset your home island

Thanks for playing! This is just the beginning of your dial-in odyssey!
