The player is immediately familiar with the mission’s fundamentals but must work to incorporate new strategies if they want to beat the ever-ticking clock. The system of adding modifiers works well to build upon the foundation, creating more complexity without sacrificing understanding. In later versions, the words need to be cut into pieces to form new words, bugs snatch and move words around, and words are blacked out only to be revealed with a UV light.
Sending out letters has players collecting words from around a desk and gluing them to a bit of paper in a ransom-note fashion, before packing it into a cassowary’s saddle bag (the delivery workers are cassowaries, which is a terrifying concept). This ramping up of difficulty applies to all of the main set of puzzles.
The bugs pick up the words and the kiwis, moving them around the workstation. The more difficult version of this level has bugs added. In later levels, the buttons swap places, the messages come written in code, and there’s even a version where multiple messages come in at once that must be sent to different locations. The problem is that the buttons are scattered about the place, requiring the two players to work together to coordinate who is hitting what button next. One of the first ones you play tasks you with using a typewriter to send out messages that appear on-screen. There are a handful of main puzzles in KeyWe that receive different sorts of modifiers the further through the story you progress.
