People say there's too many substitution ciphers in puzzlers like Fez or Void Stranger or Tunic nowadays. Not me. The tedium of looking up a chart to read one letter is the player's way of expressing their utterly stubborn commitment to the game. Like level-grinding, or 1CCs.

FEZ's solution to traversing between areas being just "you go in a door and pop out a completely disconnected door all the way over there" is a pretty good Gordian knot-cut for adding horizontal travel to an almost entirely vertically-oriented game.
