greeklover: Today I am learning coptic and cyrillic alphabet:D

Can you answer any of these questions?

Is the puzzle a continuous text with sentences, each line is a different phrase or just random words?

Do I need this to solve the puzzle? https://www.rapidtables.com/code/text/unicode-characters.html I had a look but it would take a lot of time to find a relation between codes and letters or the difference in value.
It is a continuous text, you don't need the unicode character table / converter, but some online service might help you. Check my next hint that will arrive soon.
Check the new hint here https://imgur.com/rPj1X3R or read below.

Hint #2

The whole code has been reversed.
Last character=1st character, and so on...

You may use that online service to help you: https://www.dcode.fr/monoalphabetic-substitution
I didn't figure out how to use the tool, but I solved the two last lines without it so I'm probably close:D:D:D
I'm willing to give it a shot if I can find the time and mental energy to focus on solving this.
I decided to participate and I think I just cracked the code! Expect a PM soon, Testor0.

Today I realized: letter distribution and frequency varies greatly from one language to another. ;)
I'm in, will send a PM.
I found the answer too so I would like to participate in the game. I will send a message with the answer
Solved it, I'm in! Will send a PM, thanks.
Not in, but you get a +1

First time I see a decoding challenge in these forums. I like the idea! Good one. ;) Have fun everyone!!

It's nothing new. Back in Good Old Ga.. Times, there was a lot of decoding puzzles on GOG forums.

For example just look at this thread / this post:

Thanks for confirming it's in reverse. I thought as much, but kept making mistakes and was double guessing myself.
The chapter #1 has ended.

Twelve animals solved the code. Three more animals might join for the chapter #2.
I will contact the two first winners (Hamster and Donkey) about the first small prize.

In order to solve the code, you had to :
1) reverse all the code (https://www.textreverse.com/ and many other website can help you doing this)
2) substitute every character by the right one. You may use the website that I shared earlier to help you. Or doing it by hand : it can help trying to replace the most commons characters by the most used letters in the used language (english in that challenge).

The code was saying :
"Once upon a time, in a parallel dimension, you are waking up in a strange cell. By the way, who are you? Choose an animal as an avatar and share it to me by GoG Chat."

What kind of small minigames are you giving away?
By the way, my notes for Chapter 1:D
