Okay, so I think I'm getting close to something here, thanks to Deszip and a little playing around myself.

I think that the six books cypher (LHFDMY/HDYLFM) combines with the HYPNO/DPTG clue: 467767 and LOOKINSIDE within The Painful Box somehow.

I've attemped both L4,H6,F7,D7,M6,Y7 and H4,D6,Y7,L7,F6,M7 but neither seemed to have done anything.

The only other thing I can think is that T&Bs reverse instruction refers to either the Cypher or the Numbers (As reversing the AV only gets "Lick my Ass" and "F*ck me in the pussy", which I don't think is a hint) but that's a lot of variables to test.

Hey I Found something and sense you also seem to be trying this and made some progress I wanted to share something I found. In this game the number/780 is made after 30 letters are said. The last 780 is 30*26 because of 30 letters with 26 in the alphabet. The first number is weird you have to assign a number value. A=1 B=2 etc but dont include repeats and that equals the first number. Hopefully this helps you make progress if you find anything it would be awesome if you could share

thomatosoup016 years ago(+1)

Hey I discoverd that in the painfull box you can also press the letters A B C D E F G H I at the part that you have to press the number. So that may refer to your idea of the A=1, B=2, C=3 etc.

Punderstatement6 years ago

Yea whats wierd is thers is no zero yet thats a option

AlphaOmega00016 years ago

That may be an allusion to a hexadecimal format being the solution, I'll try putting the codes mentioned so far through a hex converter and see what I get

Punderstatement6 years ago

Did anyone take their time to check every box?

The solution when opened and rotated 90degree shows the weird dialogue said by the voice in DPTG

plz help

Meta6 years ago

The name title is 430495... hm

Meta6 years ago

I'm thinking there is a reason why there is a counter in the middle, maybe thats how many times you have to listen: I'm going to set up a clicker to automatically push L. I'll be back with an update soon. Im on 227/780. Lets see where this goes

Meta6 years ago

Conclusion: It displays a letter sequence, and a number out of 780... At 00:00 it is YMAGTMRCXGHQDHNLMQEHBCMVAKPCZG with 271 / 780. I wonder what this could signify

Meta6 years ago

In a letter decoder the letter sequence is 25-13-1-7-20-13-18-3-24-7-8-17-4-8-14-12-13-17-5-8-2-3-13-22-1-11-16-3-26-7

These numbers mean something, I dont know yet

SR2127876 years ago (3 edits)

The 30 letters on top equal the ???/780

LLOLZGODSMMUARKXKAQTECNTJKSCT - 240/780

Take out the repeats

LOZGDSMUARKXAQTECNJ

Change into numbers A=1 B=2 etc

12-15-26-7-4-19-13-21-1-18-11-24-1-17-20-5-3-14-10

Add all those numbers together and you get 240

TQUDTMWJXVEVKPUFWPGUFGUUXRSYOH - 284/780

TQUDMWJXVEKPFGRSYOH = 20-17-21-4-13-23-10-24-22-5-11-16-6-7-18-19-25-15-8 = 284

VQLUVANBETXGLVQEFQEPVVUOEFNSCZ - 230/780

VQLUANBETXGFPOSCZ = 22-17-12-21-1-14-2-5-20-24-7-6-16-15-19-3-26 = 230

HLAWIOGJGVIQUGOJVXYCNHXCNEUGBU - 218/780

HLAWIOGJVQUXYCNEB = 8-12-1-23-9-15-7-10-22-17-21-24-25-3-14-5-2 = 218

https://ibb.co/fpJc6Q

I've done this with several more but yours doesn't seems to work. "YMAGTMRCXGHQDHNLMQEHBCMVAKPCZG with 271 / 780"

YMAGTRCXHQDNLEBVKPZ = 25-13-1-7-20-18-3-24-8-17-4-14-12-5-2-22-11-16-26 = 248

Also, the "counter" is just your computer's clock. I think the clock somehow determines the ???/780 but I havn't found any proof of that yet or how it works.

Meta6 years ago

Maybe doing it at a specific time will get an outlier, and maybe that is the one you need to find

SO mine that I got at exactly midnight, is the outlier?

I havnt found any others that havnt worked yet.

SR2127876 years ago

Just ran some test with the clock at 00:00:00 and can not get the same results twice while turning the computer clock back. Starting to think the clock is just a red herring.

Punderstatement6 years ago

How did you get that number and the first number is adding up the letters wit a=1 etc and don't include repeats the second is the 30 letters time the 26 letters in th alphabet

Meta6 years ago

You type the letters in a letter to numeric decoder

Xavierou6 years ago

May I join in?
If you open the game using notepad, you can find something written in italian language hidden along weird symbols. Dunno if it is of any use, but still, thought you wanna know

TEAMRAGEXD6 years ago(+1)

Here's a question: Has your sequence of 'games' ended? Or do you plan to add more to this line of mysteries?

Mustang04156 years ago

I extracted the files using win.rar and I found some interesting things. I found a file called decterm.ttf I open this file and saw something weird. I see the words "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 1234567890". The quotes weren't there tho. These words progressively get larger on the file. There are multiple other files but it is a bunch of code and the letter ÿ repeated thousands of times. I have no clue if any of this is important but it could be a step in sloving this mystery

DrDinosaur6 years ago (1 edit)

Thats normal for a windows font file, it has that for every font.

The ÿ thing is just you are opening a data file as a txt file, it isnt being read right.

Try opening solution.png as a hex or text file though, it says "Do you understand me? Nobody does. The truth is deeper inside. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again."

DrDinosaur6 years ago (1 edit)

Anybody good at Photoshop, can you get the opacity right and minus his profile pic from solution.png for clearer text?

Greenhouse6 years ago

There's no way to do that. The image is still too small.

DrDinosaur6 years ago (1 edit)

Best I could do is this:

No Filters:

Filtered to be clearer:

Raw photoshop file for anybody that can filter more

the image is so small the quality decreases when enlarged making it hard to make out anyway

DrDinosaur6 years ago

Its normal for windows font files. Maybe the font he used is a clue, but the "Quick brown fox" bit is in every font file

TEAMRAGEXD6 years ago (1 edit)

Here's something I saw with the LHFDMY/HDYLFM. First off, both contain the same letters (obviously), but the order of the letters in the second phrase is not random. When comparing the phrases as a whole (LHFDMYHDYLFM), starting at L in the second phrase, the distance between the two same letters is decreasing. L is 9 letters away from it's partner, F is 8 letters away, M is 7 letters, H is 5, & Y is 3. 4 & 6 are excluded. Now, this isn't all. Start off in the second phrase. Hop from each letter in the order of the first phrase. This works best if you draw it on paper. After you're done, you'll see it makes a consistent pattern. L to H, then back to F. F is to the right of L. Hop to D. D is to the right of H. Hop to M. M is right beside F. Hop to Y, competing the sequence. Y is right beside D. Now, whether any information can be gathered from this, I'm not completely sure. I am just showing that the second phrase is not arranged randomly and does, in fact, share a pattern with the first.

EDIT: Didn't play the Six Books game. Didn't realize that's how we got the second phrase. Whoops.

Shamileth6 years ago

I feel like this pattern hides the Box Solution in it once discovered

ButterflySaff6 years ago

What if
H=8
D=4
Y=25 (or 2+5=7?)
L=12 (or 3)
F=6
M=13 or 4

Has anyone tried using the painful box and inputting
L-8
H-4
F-7
D-3
M-6
Y-4

H-3
D-8
Y-6
L-4
F-4
M-7

I'll try this when I have time.
Each time you input something into painful box it has a different sentence, so maybe the first word of the sentence comes together to make a new sentence or phrase? Or something like that.

amndka6 years ago

so I made a thread dedicated to solutions and clues we've found and summarized everything we've said here already so if anyone is reading this and doesn't want to go through the whole thread to find something, it's all there

Shamileth6 years ago(+1)

after extracting On The Edge I found a file called On The Edge.dat I played it with a media player and it seems to play some random sounds starting at 13 seconds ( it jumps to 31 seconds ) there seem to be other time jumps in the sequence too

wabbit6 years ago

when i flip the solution photo i see like a poem looking thing with 11 lines.

DrDinosaur6 years ago

Its whats being said when you press listen. Problem is, he has put his profile picture ontop so we cant read it

wabbit6 years ago

when you flip the photo i think its the clear msg of what the voice is saying

iggyghosh6 years ago(+1)

Ok, so i have really tried to decipher what it is saying, it probably isn't right but this is what I have atm:

Do you like the fact I don't know which (something about missing poster person)
Why don't you throw fuel on it?
(PAUSE)
Same reason as ever.
(SMALL PAUSE)
Hide under the table cloth punk.
Do you understand me?
Nobody does/died.
Listen, there's a bob (policeman) knocking at the door.
Should I go arrest him?
Find me a gun for real/gun reel.

I took this script as someone who cant say all words properly and slurs some together at times. If I am right, we are hearing half of a criminal conversation. But idk. I gave it a shot.

Shamileth6 years ago

I tried messing up with the solution.png on Photoshop and some words seem to be off and not like what the voice says I need more time to be able to come up with what it says exactly

SomeoneOrOther0506 years ago

ok. If that's true. Are we playing a game from a criminal from NY (en wye

graup6 years ago

While looking for a translation for some of the word on the internet, I found this pastebin page : https://pastebin.com/Y2Hz59zk

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

Some words seem to be in german or albanese. For example "garest" would mean "simmer".

SomeoneOrOther0506 years ago

so this guy speaks multiple languages.

Lukewarm_waters6 years ago

"Garest" might also mean "to cook"

As in, "Should I cook him?"

Shamileth6 years ago

If we extract all the extractable .exe files we find the .ini files inside the folders some of them have different names than the titles of the exe files

DPTG : leave.ini

en wye: en wye.ini

Hypno-467767: hypno.ini

On The Edge: where.ini

Six Books: books.ini

The Painful Box: drown.ini

Tits & Boobies: erect.ini

Unforgettable: utwya.ini

I feel like we can mess with the ini files in order to change how the game is scripted specially for the on the edge since both choices when the game asks us if we would help the voice or not seem to directly go to the same choice ! which is Fuck You assuming it'll say no automatically !

wabbit6 years ago

what does it say at the end of unforgettable? did anyone slow it down and take a picture?

Shamileth6 years ago

it literally says this ( the same text twice but different letters are highlighted I'll put them in quotes ) combined it says See You

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that' "s" how you'll stay

That's why, darling, it's incredibl "e"

That som" e" one so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

Unforgettable in ever "y" way

And f "o" rever more, that's how yo "u" 'll stay

That's why, darling, it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

Those are the lyrics to a Nat King Cole song - Unforgettable.

JakeR12996 years ago

I managed to capture most of the message, and the highlighted letters spelled out "eye can see you", like from the part of the game where "unforgettable" turns upside-down.

If you zoom in the .png file, there are some dots at the top and bottom of the picture. It seems that it is a morse code, but I am not sure about this.

This is what I found:
Top dots translates to the word -> "Look"
Bottom dots translates to different things as it is not clear where the beginning and ending of the dots are (the "or" is not part of the translated morse code) ->

I A S A D E or
F 5 B or
I 6 I B or
F S I D A

Maybe there is more to this?
I'm not sure if I found every combination of it, or if its something at all...!?
Have fun

Shamileth6 years ago

The Morse says LOOK INSIDE

fpiplip6 years ago

Ups, my bad then..but thanks : )

fpiplip6 years ago

I run the image through some steganalysis tools -> nothing found so far. Maybe someone should consider doing this with the audiofiles?

DrDinosaur6 years ago (1 edit)

Hex reveals the number and look deeper.

I doubt its steganography with these kind of images, there would be too much distortion.

Audio files wont be directly accessible, exe, so I doubt it again

I think its gonna be more surface wise than that. A missing connection between games that is word based, or number based

HxD shows the message at the end of the solution.png if your wandering what I mean, look at older posts for the message, with look deeper and the number

Deszip6 years ago

We are repeating what has already been found.
