About the Game

Abdec ​is a forgotten textbook about the writing system of the weird and elusive "Abb" creatures. Their typography resembles devilishly difficult packing puzzles. Due to a fire accident that burnt important pages in the book - the last remaining Abdec book in the world, which was also scanned for this reissue - players need to figure out how the Abdec writing system works completely on their own.

​From the creator of the critically acclaimed puzzle book LOK, Abdec continues with the same design philosophy of making rules a part of the puzzle, but takes it to the extreme. Meant for thinky connoisseurs and those who want to explore ruleless puzzlescapes beyond LOK, it offers a challenging, but deeply rewarding solving experience.

Abdec is available as a spiral-bound physical book, printed in full colour. It includes a transparent sheet that can be placed over any page and drawn on with a dry erase marker. On 88 pages you will find more than 70 puzzles, multiple awe-inspiring secrets hidden in plain sight, plus hints, explained rules and solutions.
