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!

So I was looking that the photoshop file that Cp.Dinosaur posted on here a little while ago, and these little green dots at the tops and bottoms of the page were bugging me for some reason. I noticed that some were a bit longer than others, which got me to thinking that it might be something in morse code. First time it translated into a bunch of gibberish, and then I decided to rotate it 180 degrees to its original position. The top then translated as "LOOK" and the bottom as "INSIDE". Itd be too far of a stretch to be pure coincidence, and I think that it confirms KupaRizu's suspicion that this game is somehow related to The Painful Box. As for Kupa's discovery upon reversing the AV, its most likely another reference to yet and other game called "tits & boobies", because when Linusfail did some work with the phrases in there, he got that got the same phrases that Kupa got.

Grumfriel might be a scrambled word game. I found the word Glurm, witch as fart as I know means something similar to regrettable, as in something happened that is regrettable.

Not sure if this yield anything but I opened DPTG with CFF explorer and found the following.

Resource directory has 6 entries,

Entry 1, ID:2 AKA Bitmaps

Entry 2, ID:3 AKA Icons

Entry 3, ID:5 AKA Dialogs

"ASKNEXTVOL", "GETPASSWORD1", "LICENSEDLG", "RENAMEDLG", "REPLACEFILEDLG", "STARTDLG"

Entry 4, ID 6 AKA String Tables

Entry 5, ID:14 AKA Icon Groups

Entry 6, ID: 24 AKA Configuration Files

Only entry 3 had something weird in it, also ID: 1033 was mentioned alot in entry 4.

10:33? I could try it tomorrow, maybe something will popup?

*edit* Nope, did not work.

Ay yall,

Been watching this thread for a while. Got a few thoughts about the game.

First of all, it has been pointed out that the speaker has receptive aphasia. A thing about this disorder is that the affected do not realize they are talking gibberish, and a sometimes words can get garbled or exchanged to words that sound similar. I guess that's what the "garest" and "grom friel" might be attributed to. Maybe the speaker is bilingual, who knows.

Regardless, I think it is pointless to try and look for any meaning behind the text. But it is there for a reason. Anyone here interested in cryptography? Cause it might be a key to a cypher of sorts.

Second, the timer. The description on unknown-developer's website says the following:

"This game can reveal things you don't know yet.
About yourself.
Over time.

Don't play this game. It's as simple as that."

So. Apparently, the timer here is crucial, and we need to keep it running. What I think is, someone should open the game up, and leave it running for a prolonged period of time, not doing anything in it. Just don't play this game for a while, see what I mean?

Also, random thing: the phrase "Don't play this game" might put emphasis on "don't play _this_ game".

Looking forward to things.

Oh btw, on unknown-developer's page there is a game called "The Storks Are Crying". When was it uploaded again? Anyone looked into it yet?

When he says it will teach us things about our selfs he means that there s no soulotoin it just shows us how disturbed our mids are to thing this stuff up.

Okay, so i did the sound analysis of "listen to my voice" and here is what i got.

The whole sound looks like this: https://hkar.ru/OTR4

It doesn't make any image, but if you look at both ends of the spectogram you can see a difference with the rest of the picture.

So i enhanced both ends and here is what i got

Left end https://hkar.ru/OTR2

Left end with different settings: https://hkar.ru/OTR3

Right end:https://hkar.ru/OTR1

Right end with different settings: https://hkar.ru/OTR0

Okay now... the right end looks like morse code, but it is not apparent with the letters spacing. It could be treated as several different letters.

I didn't find anything that I could decypher at this point.

________________________________________________________________

EDIT1

the hypno - 467767 description reminded me of an SCP article. The way some information is blanked out and the way and the style it is written with.

Example (best in the end)

http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-028

Maybe there is a speciment of SCP connected with those numbers-467767 or with "horror"? Or with mental house?

Those "attachments" such as "1b" or "1a" mentioned are used in SCPS descriptions as well. They usually mean either part of a speciment (for example copy's of the main speciment that he produces himself are 1a, 1b etc. or it could mean some protocol of testing. Like dialog with the person who was exposed to SCP, or dialog with doctor, or dialog with the speciment itself.

Also I. SCP they usually use people from class D, which stands for the lowes class. Those are usually insane, or murderers. And the Hypno description uses the word "inmate" which is interesting and also corresponds to SCP lore

_______________________________________________________________________

EDIT 2

okay. Another brilliant idea: what if you make ok google or Siri listen to the gibberish that she says? Maybe the AI could interpret all This better than human brain does

_________________________________________________________________________

EDIT 3

So i also noticed that on the so called "screenshot" of the Storks are crying there is an audio logo.

I opened the image in the Audacity and got this:

It souds like bee.

AyJu6 years ago

In your original Left end and Right end images w/out the enhancements they kind of look like a digital signal. Try to see if you can get anything out of converting them into binary and translating it.

Emeraldmoon6 years ago

it's too deep for me, I have no idea how to do that =

It's actually slow scan television, like the radios from portal. This is the output, there's something here but it's been scrambled up and I don't really have time to unscramble it. Honestly, at this point I don't know if people have already figured this out or if this community is even still active anymore, but I thought I'd throw it out threre. I'm talking about "the sound of my voice", by the way.

Squeaks276 years ago (1 edit)

Hey guys, any new theories on either The Storks Are Crying or Unknown Dev's latest game, [ ]? Anyone figure anything new out? And now there is also The Engraved Dispatch too.

AyJu6 years ago

Could the solution.png have some form of steganography?

The "Look Inside" hint could be referring to hiding data via steganography.

I have tried this WITHOUT a password using this site http://www.mobilefish.com/services/steganography/steganography.php however there was nothing found. But perhaps there may be a password.

Could be a dead end but who knows?

I think you guys have all ready tried this but I cant play the game so can one of you guys/girls try this idea. Try typing the letters you see on the screen with the ___/780 thing with it like this... (this is random typing its not from the game)

DSFHSLIDBVDIBSDIVDFGJDJD 1/780 and put them in order and post it and see what we got. i think the letters are different for ever person who plays it beacuse i saw one of the ___/780 repeat and it was a different sequence for both YouTubers. make sure you put them in order like this...(this is random typing its not from the game)

FDGJHRUGHERGHEIUGHREIH 1/780

HGRIJGAHDLGAESGAIEUDHG 2/780 I know this will take awhile and might be a wast of time but can someone try it for me please!!!!!

samcantdance6 years ago (1 edit)

so i was reading through the comments about this game and i noticed the listed palindromes. aibohphobia being one that caught my attention. now i don't know if this has already been noticed but i read this: "From Ancient Greek παλίνδρομος(palíndromos, “running back again”), from πάλιν (pálin, “back, again, back again”)." it was also said most of the games are following the theme of self-hatred, the inevitability of death and the pointlessness of existence. what if this palindrome is following the ancient greek definition rather than the english? as in the character or creator doesn't want a "run back of life" or maybe a relapse of depression or failure to die altogether? just a thought. would love to know if someone can prove if disprove my theory.

Hello, New to the feed. (And reviving it)

I have found something that pertains to his newer games. Specifically A Distressed Look At Another Uncanny Charade Casted By The Secretive Caucus Throng

Starting with #1

1~~ I did the.., "slide puzzle"? and I believe I have put it together properly. The image is attached above ^^^^^

2~~ With this game having a rather long title.. could it be the product of an acronym that means something
This would be DLUCCSCT when cutting out the non-essential linking words, however, It could also be ADLAAUCCBTSCT Which.. I have no meaning for at the moment but I'm sure someone can do something with that info.

3~~ Another post I found suggests that reverse image searching his profile picture, yields a medium profile with a similar profile image.
Linked to this profile are twitter and facebook profiles. The medium profile is here https://medium.com/@automatthias
A google+ file has also been found that has the same name. Link ----> https://plus.google.com/+MaciejBlizi%C5%84ski

4~~ Very far down on this post there are some mentions of anagrams that translate into what it seen as insignificant, and rather crude sentences.

I will have to get back to all of you when I gather information from that post, and how it pertains to T&B considering both translations are lines from that specific game.

has anyone considered looking into numerology and similar practices? Maybe we can find some sort of solution there?

So, im not sure if anybody has figured this out yet ((the thread is kinda long, sorry)) but from what i can tell garest is a Welsh word (or a different way of pronouncing one) that translates to 'love' so the line "should i garest him" could be "should i love him" (i also put it in google translate just to see what happened and the language it detected was Basque and it translated to expensive, it doesnt make too much sense but it was just something i noted) hope this helps!

Sunshine Snowflake5 years ago (1 edit)

I also tried finding anything for "Bodgins" but nothing showed up other than results for "bodkins" so i tried removing the d to make "Bogins" and it appears to be a family name

*edit* it has a lot more results that I'll try and wade through but I thought the name was noteworthy
