This is a great game, it had a nice balance between easy and hard, so that I was able to solve all of these, without looking for answers, but they were challenging.

I was getting bored trying to figure out all the hints in level 3, so I input the harp sheet in Guitar Pro... and it works! Time signature is respected and all that. Did you find it or compose it yourself?

Following UndifinedOdin's comment - the runes at the end translate to http://mu.database.studiocime.com - there's a date there, but in the Page Source, there's a string - "OgUMGU0EHk0ZBQwZTQMCBB4ITSwqLCQjUgo". Still working on what that might mean, if it means anything... I may be overly invested in this...

It's cool to be able to get old commands with up and down arrows, but I cannot edit them by moving the cursor with left and right arrows ! Too bad ...
Great game anyway !

Absolutely amazing. The realization with the Chicago tribune puzzle was one of the few moments I would call mind blowing. It opens up the puzzles so much, and makes the game seem so much larger and, well, REAL. Brilliantly done.

:::Spoiler Alert:::
Camera level, figure out the letters, rearrange the words to have it make sense, its an "introduction" of sorts

SPOILER ALERT!!!
The whole newspaper thing got me. I went to the Chicago Tribune website and entered the date, but got nothing. I didn't think about archives for some reason. I probably would have searched more, but I wasn't entirely sure if I was suppose to or if the game was supposed to provide all the information.

Wonderful, Marvelous game. I was more than enjoyed when i have understand that i must search on internet. You have make a simply, but enormous game. Take your time, but make chapter 2 more and more beautiful. Thanks to you a lot

Absolutely brilliant. =D There were plenty of times that I felt like giving up or looking into the comments for hints, but stuck it out and figured it all out. Looking forward to part 2!

absoletely great game, even though i m terrible in the usage of computers and i dont acquire any computer' s knowledge this game made me to want to learn programming languages !

I cant decrypt the runes of the outro. Any Ideas? So far i got "mu _nlnbush slu_iasimh sam" I am sure i got some wrong but the MU in the beginning could be right.

Everytime I solved a hint or puzzle I had a feeling like 'fuck yeah, I am a genius'. Very well made and looking forward to ep 2

I learned two things. Number one, never e-mail your password to someone. Number two, Google is a hacker's best friend.

Thank you for the amazing game! The story is absolutely mesmerizing, I can't wait to see what comes next. The commands really made me feel like I was using an old computer without Windows or Mac, though I've never had one)) And this contributes greatly to the overall impression.
I would rate the game 10/10 if I could!

Serieus love this game. This is some thing i do not say often. The hacker theme is total new for a game. New concept en great puzzles!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Love, love, love this. The first few 'puzzles' are really just figuring out the game mechanics, but once you get past that they're fun to solve and generally really great. Can't wait for the next episode!

This game is great! It took me a while to find out the religious password thing but I finally got it. I really can't wait till the next episode.

It seems like Peter O'Brien (or O'BriAn?) does not know how to spell his own name (E-Mail to Matt vs PC Name when connecting).
I really like the concept of the game and the hints, really well done, looking forward to Episode Two.
What I did not like is are the bible quotes (I found a lot of different versions) and that you had to look up an actual newspaper archive...

There are a couple of misspellings left, but nothing too serious.
The riddles are nice, however, in the end too similar, you should get away from that alphabet-to-number thing (the one with the offset was interesting, but maybe try something less linear in the next episode?)
5/5 from me, was fun. Needs a good story to back it up, so far you have not given much away, so there is hope!

This was amazing. The sensation I got from doing the last steps was just amazing. Please release episode 2 as soon as possible :)

LOVED this game. The only thing I wish i could do was go back to the sixth computer and try to figure out the last riddle! 5/5!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This isn't even a riddle game. You just read to find the answers... And since the invention of the gui people don't waste time with terminal commands unless they are forced to.

The only thing I don't like about this game is the necessity of usage of external resources, not provided in game. Otherwise the game is great.

This is the best game i have ever played created suspense involving programming, my two favourite things, i felt like a complete hacker, amazing, please do episode two!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game is... AWESOME !!! The concept is excellent, clues are great, the story is very interesting and I love the endgame.. But I want more and more !! Good job and I wish there will be others games like this !

I still remember when the dev advertised the first version of the game in chat. Even back then, it was a fun game, but I would've never, ever thought this would come out of it.
The riddles were great; they required out-of-the-box thinking, and they left me thinking for a long while without being frustrating. The story's amazing, and the fact that the identity of the hacker is not known makes it easier to think you're actually hacking computers.
All in all, this might well be one of my favorite games this year, and one of the best text-based RPGs I've ever seen. 5/5, favorited. Can't wait for Episode 2.
