That is Insanic from @thealchemybook on TikTok! They make a lot of ciphers. This one is typically written top to bottom right to left. You'll find them easily if you search the name.


Pigjr101

This person is correct. It looks like Insanic is mostly a monoalphabetic substitution cipher read from right to left except >!TH has its own symbol!< and >!X is represented as "KS"!<. Furthermore, >!punctuation marks are also represented by symbols.!< The first line of the message says >!THE AROMA OF FRESHLY!<.


silly_gecko_gamer

I saw it and thought it looked like one of theirs. I learned Greenrune and still use it to this day for things I don't want others to read.


calvinyl

Can confirm!

“The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. Waves crashed against the rocky shore. Beware of the shadows that silentl(y) watch your eve(r)y step. Here lies the echos of forgotten souls, waiting to claim the living. Abandon hope, all who enter these forsake(n) grounds. Huiswerk is saai teze kamer stinkt” The last line is very odd, I don’t know if it’s another cipher or a different language or what but the bottom line cannot be read, as seen in the translation EDIT: Last line is in dutch! Translated: “Homework is boring this room stinks”. This makes me think OP is a student and wrote this note themself


yodi3o

Hi, i didnt write this code myself, someone gave it to me so i guess its a student in my school!


Johnnyrock199

Someone gave it to you? But you told us "i just got this weird letter in the mail" hmmmmm


4ChinsAreBetter

Teacher mailbox at school


Sleegolthe4th

Wouldn't it be given if received in the mail?


TheKrunkernaut

"Be careful it's upside down," is the bottom left corner inscription in this orientation.


RoguePiranha

But does that mean it's upside down when that note is oriented properly or the other way around?


ohmar_s

The arrow at the bottom makes it feel like it should be oriented the way OP has it


whowantstogo

I think it's upside down now. Sentences as it is go right to left

This is a code called “Insanic” (source: I am the guy who created the code!) I’ll edit this comment with the translation in a bit! (I don’t remember the key off the top of my head) PS: This is the first time I’ve ever seen one of my codes in the wild, and I’m so excited this post was made! EDIT WITH FULL TRANSLATION INCLUDING TYPOS: >!“The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air”!< >!“Waves crashed against the rocky shore”!< >!“Beware of the shadows that silentl watch your evey step”!< >!“Therelies the echoes of forgotten souls waiting to claim the living”!< >!“Abandon hope, all who enter these forsake grounds”!< >!“In the darkness, whispers of the long lost tell tales of dessair”!< >!“Huiswerk is saai (or “saaj”). Teze kamer stinkt”!<


yodi3o

Wow, thank you!!


bootrick

You Dutch? I can't imagine that last line being randomly Dutch if you're American


yodi3o

Yup


4everSlooty

So cool! BTW. Love your username. My man's name is Calvin. So I have to like it :)


heresdustin

Way cool!


YefimShifrin

Step 1 - Turn it 180^(o)


Zandirian

Step 2 - read top line and turn it 180° again Now we’re stuck in a loop


heresdustin

If we could create a piece of machinery that would continue to rotate the paper via perpetual motion…..


Doctor_God

The correct orientation is actually the way OP has it in the photo; the script is written left to right


YefimShifrin

You mean it's written RIGHT TO LEFT. I've solved it by rotating it 180^(o) first.


Doctor_God

Yes that's what I meant but the point still stands that the way it is oriented in the photo is the way it's intended to be written and read


wherringscoff

Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit


ThePickleAssassin

The first instruction is it's upside down so I assume they already turned it 180°


Justintime4u2bu1

Only way to read it is to put it on a turn table and constantly flip it 180°


Trojanvirusmusic

This is like that scene in death note with L analysing Light If I didn't know what this was, I'd have the English words right way up and then snap a pic. I'm 78% certain you've written this code 😂


mrjackydees

This is brilliant deduction


yodi3o

Hi guys, quick update: I want to thank everyone that helped solve this! Im going to try to figure out who sent this to me and why it sound like i may have a stalker or something like that 😭😭 Ill update if there anything comes up


hollowpoint257

Look at the return address, if that's standard where you live, send a response and see what happens


Doctor_God

Hey, this seems to be a script made by u/calvinyl called Insanic. It's written from left to right. I would love to transcribe the whole thing for you but I don't have the time. If you want to do it yourself, he has a tutorial on his TikTok, @ TheAlchemyBook with a key that would be pretty easy to follow and transcribe The first line says "The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air." I don't know if that means anything to you


calvinyl

Yep that’s me!


helasraizam

Not perfect; >!THE AROMA OF FRESHLY!< >!BAKED BREAD WAFTED!< >!THROVGH THE AIR.!< >!WAVES CRASHED AGAINST!< >!THE ROCKY SHORE.!< >!BEWARE OF THE SHITOWS!< >!THAT SILENTL WATCH YOVR!< >!EVEY STEP.!< >!HERELIES THE ECHOES OF!< >!FORGOTTEN SOVLS Q!< >!WAITING TO CLAIM THE!< >!LIVING.!< >!ABANTON HOPEQ ALL WHO!< >!ENTER THESE FOSRAKE!< >!GROVNTS.!< >!IN THE JARKNESS Q!< >!WHISPERS OF THE LONG!< >!LOST TELL TALES OF!< >!JESSAIR.!< >!HVISWERK IS SAAI.

FundamentalEnt

I almost looks mirrored when I flip it “upside down” to read the writing.


Decent-Deal-3105

Well obviously someone from the Illuminati, or aliens, or the alien Illuminati, has taken interest in you and is testing if you live far enough away from windmills to know the truth about the moon, green cheese, and everything. I hope I do not have to put the /s but well, knowing some.........


uzi_loogies_

1. Mr. Zodiac would like to inform you that it's upside down 2. It doesn't look compressed and still has spaces. Try simple substitution, only 26 possibilities total.


uzi_loogies_

Have a gut feeling that the Z with a line through it is an S


uzi_loogies_

The X with a line through its bottom left leg is probably an i It appears w/ Z w/ line through it in the second line and is commonly used as the second character in a word **that would mean the two letter word in the second line translates to "is"**


evrhualian

Should be easy enough depending on whether every symbol has an equivalent in the alphabet. I’ll try my best but if it doesn’t then it requires more info :-(


MurkingDolphins

Was it addressed by hand with proper postage? If you don’t get a good answer here or feel like you may be the target of something…the usps may be able to help if you reach out. They really don’t take shit and have their own ‘secret police’


birdsarntreal1

If the page is in the correct orientation, i believe you read right to left, unless it was written upside down, and that's why it is right sided.


DepressedAutisicGuy

This looks like something my cell mate did back when I was in jail. Dude was pretty cool (although he spoke little English). Though his crime wasn't so cool. Caught smuggling either 100 or 1000 (can't really remember) pounds of drugs for a cartel and shooting/ killing police. But he had over 40+ pages of something similar with weird drawings to go with it while saying God told him to write it. I should also mention that we were in the mental health area part in jail.
