≤3s loop TODO §16 · hero media — gameplay clip or screenshots

Dead Cipher is a detective adventure: a string of murders, a trail of ciphers, and deduction as the core mechanic. Playable in the browser on itch.io.

As an own-IP release it does portfolio double duty — proof of shipped-product ability and of designing puzzle logic, not just implementing someone else’s.
