💖 EINSTEIN(6) 💖 — the Games Manual era, but make it iconic

ok so bestie, this is the man page for einstein, from the Games Manual section 6 (that's the games corner of the manual, iykyk). Sit down, grab a strawberry, we're doing puzzles 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

Einstein — a puzzle game inspired on Einstein's puzzle 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

einstein

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no args, just vibes 🌈

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Okay so listen. This puzzle is a remake of the old DOS game Sherlock, which was itself inspired by Albert Einstein's puzzle. Chain of inspiration? Immaculate. Generational. 👑

The goal of the game, fr fr, is to open all cards in square of 6x6 cards. That's 36 cards, bestie. Thirty-six. Not a drill.

And how do you do that?? Not by guessing, that's for the weak. The game hands you a number of hints describing relations between card positions 🫶 and you use them to find the correct layout. It's giving detective. It's giving logic girlie. It's giving main character energy 💀✨

ngl this is basically sudoku's cooler older cousin who went to art school 🎨

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

This program doesn't have any option. 🎀

Not one. Zero. Nothing. The way that it simply refuses to give you options... iconic behaviour honestly 💅 she said "you get what you get" and she meant it.
