Don't Play This Game

amndka · 2017-04-16T18:18:48Z

So I don't know about everyone else but I have been losing my mind trying to figure out Don't Play This Game. I figured that a bunch of heads were better than one so I made a new thread that can be dedicated to solving the game(s?) where we can focus on sharing things we've found and hopefully organize it a bit more. I'm more than willing to make summary posts will all the information to make it easier on all of us and I hope we can make some real progress! Cracking whatever this is will be incredibly satisfying, I can feel it. Below I have gone through the Read. This. First. Thread and picked out all of the relevant information that has been shared. Yama Maya pointed out that the speaker in Don't Play This Game likely has receptive aphasia Deszip first noted that when you open solution.png and flip it upside down, the words that are being spoken are printed faintly on the image Half Punch Man "looked inside" the picture file to find text and the number sequence 467767 This led to the discovery that all his games are connected Deszip also gave us the things they've discovered in the other games MO 9+ HN 467767 DPTG Look inside. 467767 6B LHFDMY, HDYLFM two are unaccounted for KupaRizu gave us their testing results "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." As well as Punderstatement's theory "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" Xavierou noted that opening the solution.png in notepad will bring up a block of symbols with some hidden Italian. Any elaboration would be great TEAMRAGEXD pointed out that the series of games might not be over yet and we might be missing one to get the full picture I myself am still noodling around in the files and haven't found anything extra quite yet, although I can't seen to find any hidden Italian when opening the solution.png as a notepad file. Good luck to all of you as you try to piece this all together and I look forwards to reading the developments that come forwards!

What I really want to know is what was the thought process behind making any of these games. Work like this takes quite a lot of time and dedication. Restraining ones self from answering any questions is quite difficult.. now I just want to have a conversation with this developer

Azarus6 years ago

Does anyone know if there is a typed transcript of the audio yet? If so, where can I find it? My BF is watching SAO and I can't hear to get a firm grasp on the nonsense words.

I have an idea...

MrJaMilne6 years ago

The script is written backwards on the Solution.png, although its almost impossible to see.

Should we try writing up possible transcripts?

Here is my transcript. The nonsense words or words that don't make sense are in CAPS.

daxter154326 years ago (4 edits)

I'm not usually one to do this kind of thing, but I can read a few lines of the transcript.

Line 1: "Cue ____ the fact I don't know"

Line 10: "Should I garest him?"

Line 11: "Find me a gromfriel"

I'm fairly sure on my first two guesses, but as far as my last one goes, I'm unsure.

Another possibility to line 1: "Que Latin the fact I don't know"

Axternaly6 years ago

I translated it to Que Latin The Fact I Don't Know, Que in Latin translated in "That", That the fact I don't know. Just guessing at this stage though...

daxter154326 years ago

Should we be looking for possible translations then?

Oi i checked the morse code look like on solutions.png

i got . ..- .. ... .- .. -.- --- --- .... as the morse code (or what looks like..)

the translation?? EUISAIKOOH

(i accidentally posted this in the wrong thread oop)

i mean it could just be translated to letters n smth but i dont know

Gestober6 years ago

someone said the morse code reads look inside if you flip the image upside down

marykhln6 years ago

Checked it myself. Depends on how you flip it. But I'm sure it's supposed to be LOOK INSIDE or INSIDE LOOK

StormyForest6 years ago

I can confirm it's supposed to be LOOKINSIDE. When you have it right side up (transcript being upside down) you get LOOKINSIDE.

we've got that the x/760 is if you prescribe the letters to numbers i.e a=1 b=2 c=3 then they add to x if you dont include repeat letters

MrJaMilne6 years ago

Apparently, the score you get is the sum of all the letters at the top, A=1, B=2, C=3 etc. That would explain why it's out of 780 (30 * 26=780)

Linusfail6 years ago(-1)

Yo, anybody interested in the solution for Tits and Boobies? I do not know the slightest if this might help, but I found out, that you have to play some of the text in that game backwards in order for you to understand it: SO the first message is: I like soup and I love coffee, so remember to fu** me in the pu**y whenever you want. Yes, this is actually it. The second is: Breathe through my mouth and lick my *ss, thank you....dunno if that hlps

Azarus6 years ago (1 edit)

Here is my transcript. The words that were nonsense, I couldn't understand or just didn't make logical sense are in CAPS.

EDIT: I did some messing around with the solution image, and I was able to see some of the words I was unsure of. Words I still need to work on are in CAPS and have a ??

Hey I just found out that the Mustang reversed sounds like *need some* would also make sense in that context. I think we could find out, what the others mean by playing them backwards, this is also used in en wye

Gestober6 years ago

according to solution.png The first word is Cue not You

Azarus6 years ago

I messed with the image and came up with this:

easte6 years ago

i've been listening to what the person says and looking at solution.png at the same time and here's what i got:

Cue (latrak, lack, latrack, lactrak) the fact I don't know

which frase is post are musting

Why don't you grew on it?

Same folgen as ever

Over the tablecloth punc (punt?)

Do you understand me?

Nobody does

Listen, there's a bodgens at the door

Should I garest him?

Find me a gromfriel

Danktoucansam986 years ago (1 edit)

I've always heard folgen as folly, and bolgens could mean burglar, explaining why some see gram rifle and garret could be arrest

This is probably wrong, but I just hope this mystery can be finished soon

IceQeen_Ren6 years ago

So you weren't sure about Grew, I think it might mean Grue, witch is a mythical beast. It's an ocular man bat. It's known for hunting prey in the dark. So maybe it's saying he's in the dark? Or he's left us in the dark.

Someone earlier pointed out that #467767 is a valid hex code that results in a dark teal color. I could be completely misunderstanding how the files work, but would it possible to replace either selscreenbgcolor1 or Selgamebgcolor1 with this instead? Maybe eliminating the black background would reveal another clue?

friendly_ducks6 years ago

selinf1=ATXPWJLA

Maybe "ATXPWJLA" gives us something if we... Idk what it is called, but it's that thing where A = (For example) C and then B = D and so forth.

yo! To me thats what it sounded like at first, but then later I discovered that it actually sounded like "there is somebody at the door... should I follow/play with him? (enter a 'no, I really think you shouldn't ' response), no one ever does."

Freyja_Mahogany6 years ago (1 edit)

So I might be not seeing this right, but at the end of the "solution" file, I've flipped it and did a little tweaky to it and I swear to God it looks like the last line says something like "Find me a rom file!"

I don't know how to dig into folders and whatnot of the games... I'm just kinda intruiged (thanks Markiplier) and was looking... Yeah... any way to "find" the game and give it anything? or prove we've "found" it?

EDIT: Find, not Give.

Azarus6 years ago

It looks to me like grom friel (sounds like it, too), but Google is coming up empty on that one, and so is Translate.

siteribw6 years ago

I found out that if you spell "grom friel" backwards, that it translates to "Campfire tomorrow"

Linusfail6 years ago

Could someone create a Transcript for en wye?

Azarus6 years ago

Interesting fact: folgen translates to consequence in German.

Linusfail6 years ago

Ya know the thing is, there might be a lot of german sentences in en wye when played backwards...i am german, but i thought of ot as being unlikely...should i post what i found?

Azarus6 years ago

Sure, it couldn't hurt.

Linusfail6 years ago(+2)

Alright.

There is this sentence:

The great (hormess?) is coming. Backwards I understand: Mir machts nichts. Which would mean: I does not matter to me.

There is also the sentence: Here I fromble the beloaded. To fromble is when you act like a goat....dunno if that is right.

And the last sentence backwards sounds like: Thats not mihi (me), oh god my life.

Thats all that i could hear...i thought i heard more german.....

Azarus6 years ago

Wow, great job!

Galvy_01ITA6 years ago (1 edit)

What if you really have to play it 467767 times and then something happens? Or maybe we have to collect the letters every time and then analyze them in some way, maybe putting them in increasing or decreasing order... We could make a bot that presses listen again and collects the letters 467766 times, then you have to manually press it last time and maybe the oral message, the number or the letters change, or some text appears.

Also if you have Italian words hand them to me, I speak Italian and could help you out.

Azarus6 years ago

Interesting fact #2: garest is a german word, a second-person singular subjunctive of garen. Garen means to make or become ready (as in cooked). So, "should I garest him?" translates to "should I cook him" or "should I prepare him to be eaten". There seems to be a lot of German words. Grom friel (or gromfriel) seems german, but translation comes up empty.

Verb

garest

Second-person singular subjunctive I of garen.

Verb

garen

(ergative) to make/become ready (cooked)

Linusfail6 years ago (1 edit)

Garest would be conditional, the second-person would be garst. and the *gar* in it is pronounced like far. Gromfriel is not a german word. If you have any more questions, concerning german words just ask me.

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

gutmouth6 years ago

I feel like the game might have some vague things to it as well? Something I noticed was the 'more information' tab in the game page, and when opening it- it shows in the tags "life simulation". I'm unsure how this could be a life simulation, at that even something that's worth looking into, but it did catch my attention. Any thoughts? I might try looking more into small stuff I notice like that.

On the bottom of the image, it shows what looks to me like Morse code. If you guys know Morse go for it, but I just used a direct translator to get (for the one on top) EUISAI and (for the one on the bottom) KOOF. Thoughts?

giga4u6 years ago

you translate your morse from upside-down picture... rotate it and try again. It says "look inside"

Greenhouse6 years ago

Why there are 100 comments about the same? FFS.
The morse is already solved.
