MonteCrypto: The Bitcoin Enigma

I am going to leave my refund explanation right here because I think it describes best what this game is and why it's probably one of the worst products available on Steam: The game was advertised as extremely difficult. Hence I bought it to challange my mind. However, the difficulty presented does not lie in the puzzles which are laughably easy but rather in the one hour time limit to navigate a fifty-by-fifty-miles maze that sports repeating features ad nauseam. Even at top speed one cannot hope to acomplish to scour even the tiniest part of it. The map feature resets after every hour and the maze doesn't even fit the map in the slightest. The "enigmas" are wishy-washy blabbering with more interpretations than people wander the Earth. Actual puzzles are absent. The maze has a few doors which ask trivial questions and the enigma rooms just have a panel of unindicative scrolling text which disguises itself as clever prose but in reality is blabbering about nothing. It speaks volumes w...

This is less about puzzling and more about a big terrible maze. I got to this one part where the puzzle was just an invisible platforming challenge, and it was then that I noticed the game had a timer.. I spent a half hour in there and the timer ran out and sent me back to the beginning. You get a map that draws itself out when you go through the maze but it has no pointer to tell you where on it that you are. It's no fun,, I would compete for the prize if it was at least a little enjoyable but it just isn't. So no, you can't pay me 11,849 dollars and 80 cents to play this.

i5-7300HQ with GTX 1050 100% CPU usage + 100% GPU usage on background running 100% scamming for bitcoin mining. Don't buy the game. It's awesome :)

First things first, if you expect MonteCrypto to be a normal game, leave it be, it probably won't be for you. MonteCrypto is best to be considered a bit of a meta game. Something that is meant to be played outside of the usual constraints of a game. Clues can be found on Github, parts on Twitter. Clues and solutions are in the game files which you have to extract or take apart by other means. Sometimes you literally have to break the game and it is meant to be played that way. If you look for something with a guided story, something that is focused on logic puzzles, something you can play alone on an otherwise boring evening and also looks visually appealing: THIS is not what you want to play. Try the Witness maybe, a great game I'd totally recommend. MonteCrypto is more of a purpose bound experiment with a 10k bounty on a first come first serve basis. It's best played in a group of like-minded people (check Game Detectives if you look for one). There is some kind of story frame arou...

This game is not about knowledge or logic but only about luck (if you find the good way)... waste of time. I will even refund 1,19. After the labyrinth I found a room with 4 doors but whereever you go it will be the same room. So these are not real puzzles (you need to find out by trying combinations not thinking). If somebody wants to know what is real puzzle game try The Room. You will see the difference. + If you check achievements you can figure out easily this game is probably very very long to finish... I bet if you would work for that time in real life until you could finish the game probably you could earn the same money. Also there is a line in the game what says you don't need speed but stamina = you need to waste your time here to achieve something...

People Aren't fairly reviewing this game. This game is not for the faint of mind. You ned to be VERY intellegent to complete and understand the majority of the enigmas. While some puzzles are easily defeated, they are not to be brute forced. You WILL require a vast understanding of how a game's PAK files, binaries, and coding work. You will NOT solve this game just by walking through the maze and guessing what it could be. After you receive all words, you must find a way to put them in PERFECT order. Again, you will not do this by yourself. You will need much assistance. I recommend this game for anyone who wants a REAL challenge. Good hunting.

***PSA The guys who have said this is nothing but a maze simulator are wrong. The game's maze is static and has been COMPLETELY fleshed out by multiple people. Step-by-step guides and also top down mapping are complete, so traversing the maze is now a part, but not as substantial as before. A couple of the puzzles are disgustingly easy but the vast majority are insanely hard. I believe this is probably the hardest puzzle game to date. If you want a mind bending challenge that you will fail miserably at.... give this game a shot. You could also join in the discords and become a part of the community that's really trying to tear this game apart. Look at my hours, its not a bitcoin miner, and its not just a maze game. There are 24 puzzles that are clear as night and day. The people who complained about the maze are people who played for 10 minutes.

MonteCrypto is a different game. You solve puzzles and the first person to solve all 24 wins a bitcoin. Easy enough? Not really. This game is a lot harder than what all the negative views suggest it as. The 24 enigmas in this game are some of the most troubling puzzles to solve. They depend on you to know outside information as well as information encoded within files or encoding within the real world. The game not only wants you to solve 24 enigmas but adventure yourself through a seemingly never ending maze. The game itself was advertised to not show a maze but Im more glad they added one as this game would already been beat without it. Ignore all the Negative reviews saying this game is too easy and the Enigmas are laughable, Some are but they are the easy ones used to introduce players to the game and aswell as the other 18 yet to be solved they are quite troubling. I advise you to play this game not only to win money but to challenge yourself and see what you can do with ot...

I don't get all the negative reviews about this game. Forget about the bitcoin thing for a moment : its a 1€game that gives you one amazing maze and a lot of enigmas to resolve. Its completely worth the price, even if you end up losing the bitcoin race.

NOT a puzzle/enigma game!!! walked through boring ass maze for over an hour and half without encountering one puzzle. Finally went through a door into. . . a giant jungle where i roamed endlessly for the last 25 minutes before timer reset and i started over. Map tracing is horrible, does not tell you where you are, once you walk off boundry there is no more mapping. Other users can post messages on boards that block the path in tight corridors. THIS IS NOT A PUZZLE GAME. This is wonder around endlessly through maze with NO map, no way to track progress game. Whichever person, or group gets the bitcoin they deserve it. I would honetsly rather go to work for the money, and probably be less hours too.
