[h3]Greetings, adepts of the forgery art![/h3][hr][/hr]
Did you know that in 1794, a certain cunning forger cut off a piece of an authentic Elizabethan or Jacobean parchment deed and then signed it with William Shakespeare’s signature, making it a valuable piece for collectors? This is just one incident in the case of a 'Shakespeare cache’—a treasure trove filled with the lost works and documents of the greatest dramatist himself. It was allegedly found by a British writer (and lpater a famous forger of Shakespeare's works), William Henry Ireland. Were they authentic? Of course not. That's why we are telling you about them!

And why do we talk about cutting stuff again? Because we improved the cutting mechanic!




[h3]Cutting at any angle![/h3][hr][/hr]
Cutting only at right angles seems to be an unnecessary restriction on the player's creativity. We improved the system to support cutting at any angle, and what's more, it even allows you to cut through pieces glued on top of each other! But please, mind your fingers.





[h3]Technique used? Mixed![/h3][hr][/hr]
What is a forger who only cuts out or signs? In our game, to prevent the forgery from backfiring, players must skillfully select the tools needed to achieve the desired effect. Mix and match until you've fooled them all!
