A strange little side quest
Zoom out from Planet Figadore has gone Offline for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. Arthur Wynne published a diamond-shaped 'Word-Cross' in the New York World on December 21, 1913; the name later shifted to 'Cross-Word' and then 'crossword'. And the history keeps stacking up: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. So a round of Planet Figadore has gone Offline is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
