Zuno for iPhone & iPad

Zuno is a text adventure built natively for iPhone and iPad. Explore the abandoned Tideglass Observatory, collect clues and curious objects, and solve a chain of puzzles to restore its forgotten beacon — by typing commands, tapping actions, or both.

How to play Zuno on iPhone and iPad

Tap New journey on the welcome screen, then read the opening scene. Type a command such as read letter or north in the command field and tap Send — or tap one of the context actions or Go buttons below the story. Use the Map, Inventory, and Journal to keep track of where you’ve been and what you’ve found, and tap Hint whenever you want a nudge.
