We Are Ciphers
"We Are Cipher" is a game for two players where they create stories using coded messages sent through letters or postcards mailed to one another via various online resources available at http://wearecipher.com/ and https://docs.google.co/. Each letter includes detailed instructions, with six distinct pieces of artwork that all together form the complete story arc in a unified format supported by links within two additional Google Docs accessible through those same websites. The game is named after letters sent to one another via postal services like USPS or other postal systems and inspired by love for writing characters' personal stories using mail art techniques as seen with envelopes, stamps, ink pens (for special effects), paper clips, string ties and a glue stick.
