I be willing.
Your work is original in some ways.

I like it because everything in stories these days just seem somehow redundant.

If you extend even one game of those two, I'm willing to pay for it 30 times. no kidding :D

Seriously though, is there any reason for the flash page to download it with other than aesthetics? Because I can't download the HD games at the moment with flash. Surely there must be a way to download it without using flash?
On the other hand, I understand everyone else seems to be fine with it, so...

I support the idea of an extra cipher plate to unlock some bonus room. If you don't want to add rooms for all the six new variations, call it a "broken cipher plate", that only works when inserted alone and in the right slot. Should the player attempt any other combination with it, the teleport simply will spit out some sparks and shut down on activation.

It could work if it was tied to the side of one of the rooms with a short string. That way there's no need for it to be broken, and we still could only access the right slot, the left one would be simply too far for the string to reach.

But that would still be three new combinations. since you could lave the left slot empty, or put any of the two other plates there.

Not to mention that would be a rather annoying mechanic, forcing people to go back and forth unnecessarily.

Why Sub4 and Sub2 not? Have I missed something?
Sub 2 and 4 are already too big. However, I think that Sub2 might give us a reward for getting those 20 secrets. Maybe a screen that shows the blood door.

add the extra rooms and plot to snee. for those who don't want to pay $2 for an expanded plot in sub5, can simply use the cipher plate system in snee, and access the same rooms and find the plot items. its already there, might as well make use out of it. and i've been waiting for years for the cipher plates to be used in snee.
^ Great idea!

Well, the entire point with expansion is to make it more attractive to buy, that part is kind of lost if you also put the locations in Snee.
