I can't figure out where to  go after opening the Cassius project summary. PCTARGETS is locked, and I cant figure out the passwords to any accounts that would get me in... I've looked at every personnel file by now but I just can't figure out any passwords :( I might just be slow but is it possible you could shoot me a hint...? I'm having a ton of fun with the game, by the way!! I'm just not the best at puzzles sometimes lol

Hi Mitsukoi

I'm glad that you're enjoying the game. To figure out the passwords, sometimes you need to read a little beyond the information in the personnel files. For instance, if the person has a degree in french military history, the password may be Napoleon. It's designed as a pretty hard game, with no hand holding. A bit like using a computer back in the 80s. But I think that it makes solving the puzzles that much more satisfying when you do work out the answers.  Thanks for trying it out, and I'd love to hear more from you if you finish it.

i had fun but i could never figure out the password for dennis whithams profile

Thanks so much for trying my game. There is a person who you do not need to solve the password for to complete the game. However, if you do get it, it will give a real revelation into their past. :)

Sorry it took so long to get back to this. I just went through the code of the game to check on Dennis Whitham's password (it's been a while since I made the game), and you should be able to work that one out without too much trouble. The hints are definitely in there. It may just take a bit (lot) of trial and error. :) It wasn't Dennis that I was thinking about in my previous comment. It was someone else.
