Codex Unfertho

A maze of language, an ancient mystery, a literary challenge: an elusive codex on the edge of being decoded, now pushed into the public eye.

Trapped in a haunted library in the middle of a hallucinatory desert deep in the decaying west, two rival scholars collaborated to decipher an ancient esoteric text rumored to have descended from fallen angels.

In pursuit of forbidden knowledge and inhabited by an obsession older than time, reclusive philologist Solivan Campbell Lucero and notorious occultist Grigori Asir dove into this cryptolect in search of answers and vanished. All that is left of them are their notes. A labyrinth of signs, scraps, footnotes, ciphers, and redactions.

Locked away amongst the pages is a primordial secret, lost incarnations of a past life. A thread of evolving language and anti language protecting the story of a truthseeker lost beneath. This is a persecuted knowledge that can only exist in shadows, in the refuge of the mind.

This time, you must traverse the labyrinth to understand the monster.

Are you willing to destroy this book to solve the mystery?
