I was starting to get interested, but hit the first puzzle where you are supposed to type in a code word.  The instructions said to swap forward 2 letters and back, I assumed this meant on the alphabet, so like B forward two letters was D, but after trying and failing to figure out what it wanted me to do, and the skip feature not seemingly letting me pass this part, I gave up.  Sorry!
