Our character contacts the other party by putting ciphered words on the documents. Boss is giving documents and character should put correct words in document.

I love the game! I was expecting to do some math since you mentioned deciphering.. but turns out that counting letters is hard enough. I wonder what "party" means in this context.. ;)
Amazing game, from menu to music to the gameplay, it's all good. Felt like playing papers please :P Playing until the end gets quite repetitive after first two days, but that's the common in literally every compo game, we don't have much time to add that much content in two days :) Would like to see a post-compo version
Interesting game. I like the overall look, animations and sound. It took me a while to figure out what kind of ciphering is meant (but I'm not sure even at this point). As for gameplay, the first day was a nice introduction, but I became a bit bored at the very start because of how much time it took to fill out the gaps. I think you could greatly improve the game by putting the word list beside the protocols, so that we wouldn't have to move it back and forth all the time. But that could as well be intentional so that we would have to memorize the protocols, is it? What would be useful is a key to select the next gap (Tab for example). Other aspects of the game could also be transferred to keyboard input, so that you don't have to change between writing and using the mouse. The word-puzzle aspect of the game is really interesting and original, I liked it.
Nice take on papers please and a really creative take on the theme. At first the ciphers where a bit hard to understand but it explains it self as you go along.
It definitely got some Papers Please vibes, in a more happy way maybe, with the music and so ;) Looks neat and well executed, even though it's not so easy to understand what we have to do with the ciphers. Nice entry!
Very cool game, was confused in the beginning until i read the others comments. You just pick words that are on the cipher list. They don't need any order. Just the ones that fit the requirements. I had fun.
Totally my kind of game. Very interesting take on the theme and I love the papers please/decryption kind of feeling. The game did feel a little repetitive after awhile but still overall very good job.
It's a great little puzzle game, probably one of the best LD games I've rated so far. The only minor issues are that I think the tutorial could be made a bit better. It can feel unlear as to what you're supposed to do at first. I also found it kind of annoying to keep clicking on the different text boxes (although it probably would have taken too much time to fix).
Gives "papers please" vibes. Liked the sounds, and physicality of items. That the cipher is covering the protocol, and you have to keep protocol memorised.
Sometimes it was hard to understand what to do. Especially in the beginning, it wasn't obvious that you just have to type any word.. Even though there was an explanation :)
Feedback: making `Tab` go to the next word would be nice. Would give natural typing experience.
I adore the puzzling to be done, the game constraints are very well thought out, and it's generally phenomenal for a game made in 48 hours. But as everyone else has said, adding tab to switch spaces would be a great addition
Very nice game, I really like the art style. Like some that has mentioned before, it has "papers please" vibes which is really nice. Great game overall!

the game is quite hard, and a deeper tutorial would not hurt this game.
👍nice job
I wonder what "party" means in this context.. ;)
@brian-teng the party means your teammates in mission :)

There could maybe have been some more indications in the tutorial, and the game moving from day to day on it's own.
