About the meaning of Swarm's lines


Recommended Posts

Swarm's lines are actually generated by encrypting the meaningful original text in a certain way, and they can be deciphered.
The original text of the lines can be found in the source code of the game. (some of the lines in the code don't seem to actually appear in the game)
According to this comment in the code:

-- Generate the monster version so it's predictable and players can learn to
-- decipher it.

It seems that the game designers hoped that the player would decipher the lines. (I just found the original lines and their encryption by chance while viewing the code)
Therefore, here are the encrypted lines for those who want to decipher their meaning by themselves:

  • Replace vowels in the original text with their corresponding strings. The correspondence is:
    • a→-CHRP- 
      • (Note: There is a single space at the end of this string)
    • i→'Uzz
    • o→'Scree
    • u→'itchitch
    • y→'chit
  • Shift consonants in the original text 5 positions down in the English alphabet (e.g. replace b with g, z with e)
