Blackbar is a text game: a sci-fi story of a dystopian future told through the medium of word puzzles.

Censorship is frustrating, but the human spirit can beat that frustration by turning it into a game.
You'll pick up Blackbar instantly; however, its challenges will keep you searching, thinking, and trying for days.
