Mine has arrived also and it's beautiful - finished it just now, and I think there's an error in (v), just checking that with Jack...

unfortunately, I'm having a busy week, so I got to look at it at lunch and decoded (ii) but didn't get further than that.... I should have time this weekend

OK, I am stuck on figuring out vi and vii. I assume that you need to overlay them and (don't click if you are still solving iii-v) I got the 3 plant names from iii, the word south from iv, and the word green from v but I am stumped for how to use that info to produce anything that makes sense. Any hints would be great.

And so 0.9 is delivered today (alongside letters from dead people, sounds of insanity and breakout box 4 (whatta day for puzzling)).
My brain hurts already, this one is looking HARD.

Yay I'm hoping mine shows up today... I'm on a plane in the morning and I'll have a good 7 hours to play with it. I'm making a late dash to the office for my post to grab it all. My cozy killer box is also due.

No Cryptogram envelope I’m afraid you’re on your own with this one for a bit Craig!

No worries, it's done. Needed a small nudge on one puzzle, and the closing cipher looks so intimidating but patience and determination are massive virtues for that one.
...
I'm taking a breath and having a scotch after finishing, the whole sequence ties together so, so well yet again.

Finally got 0.9 in the mail today and whoa does this look hard. I’m not even really sure where to begin with solving ii (this seems to be a common thread for me with these, that I can’t figure out how to start and then things get smoother as it goes along).
Edit: Never mind, pretty sure I got it, but how that’s going to help me later on is hard to tell.

Super behind and now getting around to solving 0.8. Need some help with i-iii (my current thoughts on them are shared below) i There are too many words that rhyme with bed and none of them seem to cleanly fit the end and make sense. ii I got the caesar shift message, that seems to indicate Rebus. Is all I'm supposed to get from this is I Rose, I Saw, I Soared, I Ate? iii If that assumption is correct for ii, then I guess its pointing at the Hunting Owl since that is the only one that all four descriptions seem to fit I think I have the rest solved or know exactly what to do once I get this last bit of information.

I need some help with 9.iii to 9.v. I've been staring at them for a few days now, but I don't like the answer it gives me for 9.vii. iii to iv I'm pretty sure I've got the right symbol from 2, but I'm not seeing any use for the letters I get from there when going to iv. what am I missing? iv to v I've been trying to match the marked letters to the names of the objects pointed out per side in order to pick a sequence from one of the sides. I also tried finding objects with names starting with the right letter that were in the correct position based on the sequences in iv - but then it's hard to put those in sequence as there are multiples for a single position. Am I doing the wrong thing here?

I'll probably be sound asleep by then, but please send me a hint or two anyway
