Exact copy? Don't think so; some words are incomprehensible and there's a voice in the background. The BG might tell us smth, but I think it's just the echo of the Voice.

The solution.png has it, but he has overlayed his profile picture on it. Flip horizontally then vertically

GUYS STOP THAT THING ABOUT THE FOX AND THE DOG! This file is a font tester.

I don't know if I've figured something out but just listen to it and replace the words that dont make sense with words that sound similar and actually make sense like it says something about a file that came with it and google it or something just a thought

(1 edit)

So, i tried to read into what was on the "solution", by editiing it in Photoshop, comparing it to what is said in the game, and comparing letters of the phont that comes with the game - that's what i got

Cue jairia is the fact I don't know

Which iraserujost are missting.

Why don't you grew on it?

Same function as ever

Over the tablecloth punc

Do you understand me?

Nobody does

Listen there's a bajans at the

door

Should i garest him

Find me a gromfriel

Highlighted words are the words i'm not that sure about, mostly cuz it sounds like gibberish. I presume they are not english words, but i'm not sure. Anyone else tried to make sense of the text?

This is the kind of words am seeing too ! I am sure there is a pattern in order to solve the words !

i tried to google them, and some of them DO come up as words from other languages... for example "bhajans" -- A bhajan (Hindi: भजन) literally means "sharing".[1] It also refers to any song with religious theme or spiritual ideas, in a regional Indian language
or "garest" -

German

Verb

garest

  1. Second-person singular subjunctive I of garen.


    Maby the other words are the same, i just can't spell em out right, cuz it's hard to read...

In previous comments some people mentioned that there are patterns to some words in the clues, they are somehow related and maybe this too has a pattern I mean like we have to transition the letters to the next ones by a certain number in order to come up with the exact words needed

The "solution.png" is mostly readable. CAPPS are what I couldn't read but could mostly hear clearly

Cue larak (light it?) the fact I don't know

which FOR SOME poster musting

Why don't YOU GREW ON IT

Same FOLJEN AS ever

Over the tablecloth punt

Do you understand me?

NOBODY DOES

Listen, THERE'S A BOJENS at the

door

Should I garest him?

Find me a grom friel.

i want to add, that there's a clear "are" in the second line before the "m" word in the solution pic
also, for some reason, even if we hear "punt" there's a small letter that resembles a "c" in there, insted of "t"... for some reason, i think the text on the pic and the text in the game aren't the same letter to letter...


and what on earth is grom friel? I tried googling it, but it's just random staff...
Also, i'll try to work on the hard words later on again, and will post pictures, so that other people can try to see what's in there..

I am working on this she sounds like she says in the first words Cue Latin I hope I get some progress I recorded the voice and playing it in slow motion so I can manage to get all the letters I am sure she pronounces several random letters when combined come up with a word or something

there were 30 letters at the top so i though i would multiply 26 by 30 which added up to 780 (the number it shows at the end) so i thought maybe the letters at the top all have to be a z to get 780/780, but after adding up the other numbers it did not add to the other number that appeared :/

The letters that come up when you finish listening change every time and so does the number before the /780 maybe the number is actually the Decryption code so we can guess the message, and I think that all the letters that come up to every single one of us actually are the same message since the key to decoding it is changing every single time too and that can not be random

I did some image processing to clean up solution. Its not perfect and it cuts a bit out, but its a bit clearer.

No Filters:


Filtered to be clearer:

i suggest someone try to write out the text in the same font, and just keep switching letters until it matches up with the text...

So, you know how the top and bottom of the solution picture gives a message in morse code? My first thought before knowing that was to tile the picture so that the top meets the bottom and the result seems to look like braille on it's side...I think? I tried to translate some of them and they seem to be a letter paired with a number, which may correlate to The Painful Box game. idk just a though


- From a guy that's probably trying too hard

We already found out that the morse codes translate to Look Inside but this can be interesting we need to experiment more with it

Yeah, but my point was before I knew that I tried the morse code thing :P soz if that wasn't clear

nah no problem ^_^ we're all working together to figure this out :D

in the Book Of Sins there is a reversed music at the end of the dialogue

Feel free to post anything on this drive, enhanced images, reversed sounds or edited ones I'll be putting my progress there !

Please any ideas on what it is ?

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9zusdYTeM...

Just for info in case its not mentioned until now:

You can extract every game .exe 2x and will find other stuff (.text, .data, icons, .bmp, another .exe with the same name which is much smaller than the original .exe etc.).

After extreacting 2 times go to folder .rsrc/1033/Bitmap (hypno and painful box game):

105.bmp
QUIT.bmp -> which says : "quit? Your progress is automatically saved at the beginning of each chapter."

I did not find further information with steganalysis & HxD in these 2 images!

how do you extract it twice? i can only extract it once..

if i remember well :

extract the the .rar, extract the .exe, then extract the .exe again (you'll see a .rsc folder, .data file, .rdata file and a .text file)

Since I didn't see anyone doing this, I might as well post what I found. I don't know how to use html neither how to read it, the further I went with it was to use tumblr themes. However, my curiosity told me to convert the notepad file from the .png picture into html and for that I used this website http://www.textfixer.com/html/convert-text-html.ph... . (I won't post it here since it got so big but you can do it as well) After it was converted, I copied the text to my microsoft word and it had 45 pages (even though some of them were actually blank?) and some words kept repeating: grave, dagger, thorn and some variations which ended with "acute", like this fragment of the code:

j õŠ'Tê46Oƒ/\hN¦ ƒS{Ͻöä“ÞÚ,_{eýÂ÷ÿîå…ÉÉááþR“P¨ó‡,v§Ûå5 lP#‑aR°Rùo]©¥t?d2I§r@÷\¦„'Ï4·Êã{

I don't know what to do with it, however I figured that someone who understands HTML could make some use of it.

I just saw an interesting comment under the video from Thomandy - btw big thanks to Thomandy for playing this game and posting the video (and all other stuff from you, i like it : ) )


"David Lechuga - 1 day ago
i have solved this, it is very simple, the game is a clock, open all files in hex editor if you want more info, the solution is inside, no from you, is inside him and if you look at cerctain adress 467767 at your hex you will get the key to stroke ... i come up in 15 minutes to the solution, i posted in itch.io and the developer is an ass and banned me from his community page and i also post on the release thread, but he delete that... so please help propagate the solution. ps. press f9"

and

"David Lechugavor - 5 hours ago
well if you press f9 you will get a pretty little clock in the last screen, its everything i get at least, maybe the solution is incomplete but as i say before, this program is a clock. If you need proof i have screenshots of my process and, try yourself press f9 at the end of the dialog, if the clock dont appear press L. Maybe te message is, dont play this game... is a waste of time... because of the clock, im pretty sure is about time."

and

"Mani Monibi - 5 hours ago
no but 467767 isnt a hex value lmfao"

response

"David Lechuga - 3 hours ago
Mani Monibi you have reason, because of that i search for 0x467760 and search in the row for the seventh term, it is F9"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-> myself ->
I wasn't able to reproduce this (pressing f9 didn't do anything, no clock showing up), could someone please try this and share their experience with this approach? Thanks alot everybody

& Thanks to David Lechuga if this helps, and if not, thank you anyway x)

erm... I have a clock... but not because i pressed f9, it's just there every time after i listen to the messege... i even tried to do staff with it, like, what if the code 467767 was somehow related to the clock? I tried different combinations with setting up the time, but it didn't work...

well this seems strange, i tried 2 pc's (inlc. different screen resolutions) and i don't see any clock !?
Does this occur to anybody else?

I have always had a clock, I tried pressing most of the buttons on my pc when it hit an hour but nothing happened. The clock is in sync with my computer so it must have some form of access to it.

Here are my notes from watching people play it on Youtube:

Moon Omen:

The number of "+"s goes up every passing day, and matches the number of days since DPTG was released. I watched a kid play it and for him he got the jumpscare at 18, but a day after it's 19.

En Wye:

The letters 'NY' are shown at the end. This obviously means New York.. But it could also mean "No, Yes". In On the Edge, has someone tried answering 'No' and then 'Yes'?

Six Books:

H, D, Y, L, F, M - Order said back.

  • Love (Love) "Kiss your Lips"
  • H (Hate) "I'd rather Burn your Face"
  • F (Life) "Breathe your Breath"
  • D (Death) "Gouge your Eyes Out"
  • M (Me) "Drink your Sweat"
  • Y (You) "Melt your Skin" - {Related to Hypno quote "Warm on your cheeks"?}

Tits and Boobies:

I watched someone stream this part, and it was mentioned that the parts that were spoken backwards sounded like "Fuck me" and "Lick my ass" - Sounds like a joke, but it's what we heard! Possibly related to this reoccurring couple - Jake and Melissa.

Don't Play This Game:

Each letter must have a set numerical value, but we don't know what it is yet. Is it our job to hit 780 somehow?

(2 edits)

I solved your algorithm! In Don't Play This Game, each letter is numbered throughout the alphabet, A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5, F = 6, G = 7, H = 8, I = 9, J = 10, K = 11, L = 12, M = 13, N = 14, O = 15, P = 16, Q = 17, R = 18, S = 19, T = 20, U = 21, V = 22, W = 23, X = 24, Y = 25, Z= 26

Figure out which letters are given to you in the 30 letter code and then add their pertaining numbers, once you do this you will find your score /780 Logically the highest you can get is 351.

Example:

IYJMCZOWAVDXBLFTZIDUWJNFKLIMEH 274 / 780

Contains letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z (Not including: G, P, Q, R, S)

1+2+3+4+5+6+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+20+21+22+23+24+25+26 = 274 (Not including 7, 16, 17, 18, 19)

The /780 looks to be the number you get from adding 30 Z's together, given the following algorithm Z = 26, Z x 30 = 780

Although it doesn't seem to play a part in the algorithm so I wonder what it could be for.

I wrote this a couple pages back yesterday. Take out the repeat letters, add them up, and you get your ???/780. 780 would be if you got all Z's. My theory is it has to do with the clock which is just your system time, but I haven't found anything to back that up yet. Setting the computers clock to the same time and "listening" at the same time several times in a row came up with different letters every time.

Audio recording for faster access (Not the original audio file): https://clyp.it/fpvrf2ur

End screen when I recorded it (The time might be a few seconds out): http://imgur.com/a/08bEP

With your help( about first audio) I could hear some words.
I don't know why, but I clearly hear :"....You let on/in the fire and I don't know which/witch that (you)( supposed/support/)/from) to master(maybe ritual??Satan??).... Why don't you prove on it?....Same fortune as ever.....However, the table/tape (of) cloth print....Do you understand me? Nobody does...Listen, there's bogies(bogy) out the door...Should I gather(???) him? Find me a/at grove frill. "

I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy, because understood some of those words just in 5-10 minutes.

Spectrogram of the sound files:

Btw I checked all files (dptg, hypno, painful box) with HxD -> only the solution.png seems to have information. Hidden file search didn't reveal much either.

(1 edit)

I think that creator just cut some sounds ,breaking them to make words more multiple like words which have one pronounciation, and the point of the game is only to , maybe, show us how mad or crazy we are. Because my thought is that those letters never reach 780 points, and it's just like distraction.

Well here is what i found out at the end she says should i arrest him then find me at nom or something like that thel or tel please i want further clue help me if you guys can !!

I might be hearing things, but maybe "Find me at Room 3"?

I don't think so, because there is sounds "GR"(at the beginning) and "l"(At the end of the last word)

YES!

The solution.png clearly says "Should I garest him? Find me a grom friel. "

But maybe there are different words? I mean, there can be these words , but needed another.

find me at game title

maybe this is written at the end of solution.png

I don't know why, but I clearly hear :"....You let (me??) on/in the fire and I don't know which/witch that (you)( supposed/support/)/from) to master(maybe ritual??Satan??).... Why don't you prove on it?....Same fortune as ever.....However, the table/tape|shape (of) cloth print....Do you understand me? Nobody does...Listen, there's bogies(bogy/body) out the door...Should I gather(???bury) him? Find me a/at grove frill. "

I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy, because understood some of those words just in 5-10 minutes.
And I think that those letters make no sense there. Just to confuse us.

Im super smart and can think outside the box, but this is seriously making my brain hurt.

(+1)

These are just my thoughts about it.

Ok, I didn't write this, someone on Mark's channel in the comments did (I forget their name, sorry) but they came up with this:

"Can you imagine the fact that I don't know which I'm supposed to be in? Why don't you go rule me on it. Same old few things as ever. You under the table trade off punts. Can you understand me? Nobody does. Listen, there is a body at the door. Should I get rid of him? Find me at grave field"

Since the person has receptive aphasia it's more of "what are they trying to say" instead of "what does it mean"

NEW DISCOVERY:

Inside the exe files, if you paste them into notepad and turn on Wordwrap under Format, mess with the window size, you get an ASCII art of the icons for the games,

Proof:


Credit to Blondebro7 for discovering this!

Just saying.

This is all I believe it's worth taking from the game, regardless of any hidden message. Even if there is, and I'm pretty sure there isn't, doubting the conclusion just enforces it.

I tried some online steganalysis tools on the Solution.png image but with no luck. Granted, I was only able to do the most basic of steganalysis due to a massive lack of knowledge of the field (and because StegSecret is entirely in Spanish).

Tools/sites used to no avail:

http://incoherency.co.uk/image-steganography/#unhi...

https://futureboy.us/stegano/decinput.html

http://www.mobilefish.com/services/steganography/s...

http://stegsecret.sourceforge.net/

http://manytools.org/hacker-tools/steganography-en...

For things asking for passwords, I tried LOOKINSIDE and 467767 together and separately, but nothing came of it.

I tried StegExpose but I apparently don't know what I'm doing regarding Java because I couldn't get it to work. Anyone with more advanced knowlege of steganography having any luck on that front?

i know more with java so I could help with that

You say they're not viruses.

But my anti-virus keeps blocking me from opening the file, then deletes it, claiming it to be malware.

Is there any way around this? Or do I just have to deal with it?

I Found a TON of secrets. (I THINK!) no spoilers here, but if you want to play this game series, just know that you will have to make ALOT of notes... so, y'know, keep a pen handy. and maybe a dictionary jus saying! ;)

Okay, so from the things I read I think I found a solution.

The speaker seems to have symptoms of an aquired language disorder.
She's saying this:

"Can you enlighten the fact, I don't know which for sim-pasta mosting?
Why don't you go gruel on it?
Same foldgen as ever.
Hover the tablecloth punk.
Do you understand me? Nobody does.
Listen. There's a bodgins at the door. Should I garest him? 
Find me a gromph reil." (or this is what I heard)

If she has that language disorder, then I guess this is what she should be saying:

"Can you imagine the fact that I don't know which I'm supposed to be in?
Why don't you go rule me on it. 
Same old few things as ever.
You under the table trade off punts.
Do you understand me? Nobody does. 
Listen, there is a body at the door. 
Should I get rid of him? Find me at grave field"


So, as many of you found out, the letters might form a 'code'

A = 1
B = 2
...
Z = 26

26 * 30 (the number of letters) = 780
I guess if you manage to have the 30 Zs, then you might have a jumpscare of the body and the one that murdered him/her. 
This is my guessing, I don't know very well.


Anyways, I think the games have a story behind it. I haven't played them yep, but I'll do as soon as possible

this is a very interesting game
