After understanding the puzzle (but still not solving it), this clue is hilarious.

Feel like I might understand the code...but nothing's working :(
I could be entirely wrong though xD

I definitely understand the code, but I can only find 4 of the things. And one of them I'm assuming is what you intended.
Either way, good idea for a puzzle.

I think I know where you might be stuck. Remember I got a random URL code and had to work with it, so some of the instances here may be obscure. I did some Googling for some of the characters in the URL code, so a similar Google search might help you find the last one.

I have 5 things, but the code isn't working :( Not sure what I'm getting wrong
And yeah, it's a really clever puzzle!

Just to make this even more clear this is a "Code hidden in Letters" puzzle a la https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/TLR8m/zelgh-magic-guide-to-basic-sg-puzzling-update-october-2017. Two people have gotten it so far, but maybe this well help a few more.

That's obvious. What I'm having trouble with is finding out which letters are the right ones :P
There are five lines and five sentences, but it's not the first letter of each line, sentence or column. So it must be something relative to the context, rather than the form of the text, correct?

Bump. I already have the game, but I liked the puzzle, and the hints are good, too.

Thanks for the solution and the interesting puzzle! I tried to look for writing differences between US and UK...
The hints were great, I was just not clever enough. Btw, I still don't understand the special hint you gave to me, but its probably also about the pronunciation? For me it feels like every english word has silent letters, so I never thought about searching them.

I thought it would be fun to create a puzzle GA, so here's one for The Silent Age. Ends 9 PM PST 11/3. Here's your puzzle:
As Eve entered the church, she found Adam engaged in
solemn prayer. Inquiring about his activity, she was met by
the vitriolic reply: “NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!” After she left
the curmudgeon alone, he pulled out an antediluvian lamp. He
rubbed it, hoping greedily for wishes. Djinns are not real, however.
Solution: The URL was hidden in puzzle. The key was to look for the silent letters. They are
n in solemn
y in prayer
I in BUSINESS
d in curdmudgeon
D in Djinn
The word "When" threw people off initially. Some people pronounce the "wh" differently, so I considered the "h" not silent. It turns out most people do pronounce that "h" silently, so that was my bad.
