I have absolutely no clue how to find the rest. Any help?

Have you checked outside of the game itself? Nanomax has a presence online...

Yes, I have. I even followed a twitter link from their website - but apparently that guy was not meant to be found and did not count.

Oh, another one is in the description of another contact. Just read everything.


EG This contact you already found works for <NEW CONTACT>

I have 20. All you need is the app and the website for that.


From the website there's a meet the team page, or some such.

In the app, read EVERY email, and add every reference to a name. Also the 3 scrolling news things have some names in. Can't find the last one tho.

EG some email is like "Oh i'll miss joe's jokes". So add Joe.

Ok it's also stupid. You have to add FIONA and NIGHTINGALE separately. Shows up as 2ppl in the address book. Few others like this as well. Very frustrating

That sounds like a legacy bug! 

The full beta version of the game will be hitting Itch.io before too long and issues like this are no purged. Apologies, though!

@DodgerB: Thanks a lot. Now I have 21/21 as well - but only with Fiona  added twice.
@SUPERSTRING: One reason I got stuck here was that it did not even occur to me that anybody - including Ana - would be able to deduct a full name just by knowing the FIRST name, and since I did not have a last name of at least two people I did not even try to find them based on the first name only. On a sidenote: the Nanomax website has a bug:   the bio for E.C. is missing and the bio for J.H. is there twice. Also the twitter link leads to a guy that is probably not supposed to be linked to since he registered in 2009 already.
Also, Fionas blog (can be accessed from site) seems to be a bit too empty and some other links produce error meesages - which might break the immersion. Last but not least: I was unable to play a game with Ana - I guess that's not possible in the transcendent version?

Hi Marko -- huge thanks for flagging the website bugs/quirks. This was updated some time back and hasn't been updated in line with developments to the game. This will all be sorted this week. 

And no - some of the features listed in the latest post are only available in the full game. 

I really appreciate your comments and commitment to solving some of the puzzles here. If you drop me a line (jamin[at]superstring[dot]studio I'd like to make sure you're rewarded at launch - your flagging of issues is genuinely very helpful!
