Really love this! I'm struggling with the Elemental folder though. The password seems to be 'help u' but it doesn't work. Any hints?

vikintorDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks☺. Your code is 50% right hehe. You've found the "Moon" code. For the Elemental folder you need both "Moon" and "Sun".

To start the search for the Sun code you need to find 4 colourful papers around the school and consult more documentation at 'Additional Intel'.

AlphaBetaGamer4 years ago (2 edits)

Hmm. Yeah I found the intel I think. [REDACTED] I think I must be doing something wrong!

Edit: Oh no. Wait, I've got it! I was overthinking it! I've removed some of the info in-case it spoils anything. :)

Wow, that was fantastic! I loved the last build of the game (can't get enough of that pixel art style), but all the code-cracking stuff in this one was amazing. Had a lot of fun with it and there are so many great little easter eggs (even deciphered the cypher for your secret language). Awesome work. Did a gameplay vid and wrote a little article for it. Looking forward to the new game!

hello my friend, quite an amazing little game you have here. i was hoping you could send me or sell me FLAC or whatever other lossless files you have for your game's soundtrack, the fleshy bits at least. it reminds me of tetsuo: the iron man and other things i enjoy (: thank you so much!!

vikintorDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks. Actually Chu Ishikawa/ Der Eisenrost (Tetsuo) was an inspiration for the OST. The music files is included with the game, but inside the secret.rar, the code can be discovered in the game multilayered secret or on Youtube gameplay videos that solved the easter egg.

I cannot figure out how to open the sun.rar for the life of me. I don't think that AlphaBeta showed that part of the process off. I am also stuck with "help u". BTW Love the game! This has been saving me from some boredom during a self quarantine.

Edit: Nevermind, finally figured it out!

I don't even remember I have an account on this site but god your game looks fantastic I'm gonna reply anyway. My friends hate this kind of fleshy-fleshy stuff and I'm definitely gonna force them to watch me play this game on Halloween and scare the heck out of them.

Wow. Este jogo, esta experiência, são fantásticos! À medida que ia descendo cada vez mais a "toca do coelho", ia ficando cada vez mais nervoso, aterrorizado, e intrigado. Adorei as referências a alquimia, como o Corpo (Sal), Mente (Mercúrio) e Alma (Enxofre), os três princípios e componentes da Prima Materia, no fim do jogo, a Lua (Prata), e o Sol (Ouro), que juntos, acreditava-se que formariam Platina, isso tudo. O que mais adorei foi resolver a cifra, e descodificar tudo. Cada mensagem, na página, no início do segundo jogo, até a página 2 que, aliás, me confirmou que tu és, de facto, português, e eu acho isso fantástico.

P.S. O símbolo para a letra K, é o símbolo para a letra L, mas invertido, certo? Foi a única que não apareceu nos textos.

P.P.S. Portugal ou Brasil?

vikintorDeveloper4 years ago

Oi. Muito obrigado. Fico grato que tenha percebido as referências na parte do "solve et coagula", acho que maioria não percebe hehe.

Quanto ao K e o L, sim, eles são os mesmos símbolos, porém invertidos.

E sou Brasileiro mesmo hehe☺.

mikebracais4 years ago

Ok, obrigado pela resposta! Continua o excelente, arrepiante trabalho!

...sério, isto tudo fez-me lembrar de Silent Hill, pânico e antecipação e tudo.

I am having trouble with the elemental password i have the moon code but the sun doesnt make any sense, i hava the 4 colorful papers and the letters and opened 'page 5' but i just cant figure out what to do with them

vikintorDeveloper3 years ago

Hi, Thanks for playing. :)

About the puzzle: Each paper has a letter that needs to be converted to a number.

Page 5 has a chart about how to convert letters to numbers.

After the conversion, you need to calculate all numbers based on its colors (as shown on page 5).

After getting the results (2 numbers), you need to follow further instructions using page 7.

M(00 00 00 00) E(00) I understood this structure but my password still doesn't work...perhaps cause page 5 part. Is it right to multiply first?

vikintorDeveloper3 years ago

Hi, Thanks for playing. The order in the game starts from left to right(1°+2°-3°X4°).

I heard that starting with multiplication would be correct in mathematical logic, but I skipped some school days so I probably lost that one (sorry about that).

Saulaie3 years ago (1 edit)

I see. I gonna try again! Thanks for quick reply.

help u /helpu/help you/helpyou/HELP U/HELPU/HELP YOU/HELPYOU/

I'm sorry to keep asking, but is there anything else I should try? It's still not working out.

Is it correct that only one number comes out in PAGE 5?

vikintorDeveloper3 years ago

It has to give you a 2 digits code. But for achieving you have to calculate each one in order, as RED + BLUE, the RESULT - YELLOW, the next result * 9.

otter knight3 years ago (1 edit)

so ive been befuddled. i cant seem to make out the blue papers letter all i can seem to think is that its D but there is no D so its either Q or G never mind i got it just had to step away for a moment
