It might be a bit unclear, but the main goal of this puzzle game is indeed to get `Godot.exe` running so you can, hopefully, start making some sick games.
I do recommend that you attempt to solve the puzzles by yourself before reading these spoilers...
However, if you are stuck... then this might be just the right document for you!
You should read the actual failure message that appears on the failure screen!
I know that some gamers don't like to read and just skip through dialogues and such, but this game does require you to read stuff!
As in most operating systems, a terminal (`Terminal.exe`) is provided for you that is able execute several commands. One of these commands is the `update` command which requires you to supply it with a program_id.
Your obvious mission is to find the program_id of the Pantheon DRM Certifier and update it!
All installed programs (that are not drivers) can be listed in the terminal using the `list`-command. One of those will be the Pantheon DRM certifier, thus the `update`-command can be executed as such:
update pantheon_drm_certifier
The above command takes a while to execute, but after waiting about a second you should have your Certifier updated to the latest version!
Obviously, you will have to update the barracuda driver in some way... Now that the Pantheon DRM Certifier is updated, you can browse the filesystem using the Olympus program. Maybe there's something in the filesystem that can help you?
One of the mails explains how to access the Boot menu. Basically you will have to press the `R` key (= the restart key as stated in the Failure window!) for about 6-8 seconds in either the Failure or Login window.
This might take a while and you'll have to be patient...
As discussed in the mails by Lucas and Hana, the boot credentials are encrypted in the `boot_cred.enc`-file.
You'll have to open this file using the Olympus program.
The necessary program_id has been blocklisted by Lucas and thus won't show up in the Failure window.
But there was a time (somewhere in the past) when this program was NOT blocklisted and thus, as a direct result, would have to show up in the Failure window. Maybe there's a place where crash logs are saved by the OS?
Checking the mails shows that Hana decrypted the encrypted file on the 8th of January, so you should only check the crash logs of that particular date.
It should be definitely be one of those files! Anyway if you really can't find it:
install enigma_encryptor
That should do the trick! Now try opening the `boot_cred.enc`-file again in Olympus!
Seems like your account just doesn't have the proper admin rights to use Godot. You'll probably have to switch accounts in some way... Maybe there's some hidden commands somewhere or something that you might input in the terminal?
Hidden commands are found in the Boot Menu. Different drivers have different commands that can be used in the terminal!
One of them might help you along!
One of the hidden commands is `fetch_mail`, which contacts the Panther Mail Server and automatically downloads any new mails to your `documents`-folder. After executing it you should have several new mails available to read using Olympus!
Lucas literally gives away his account's ID and password. You can input both of them in the Account tab of the Settings window and switch to his account! The Settings window can be opened by pressing the `Start`-button on the left-side of the taskbar.
If only there was a way to stop Brenda (the Artificial Intelligence) from logging you out each time!
You can uninstall/disable Brenda by uninstalling her driver in the Boot Menu... that should do the trick!
Check Lucas' personal folder for any new clues! He might have left something there that will allow you to get root privileges!
That's the end of the game... I hope you at least had a marginal amount of fun!
