For the puzzle with the ASCII clue. SPOILERS!!!!
It seems most people didnt understand how to do this one but it turns out that it isnt just another number to letter thing. Google ASCII table and it all becomes clear.

Wonderful game. The biggest leap was the newspaper because it was the first external lookup, but a Bible verse would have been a smoother transition (more obvious that it needs to be looked up), so I'd recommend switching a verse lookup with the paper lookup. Overall, I thought the puzzles clever, though I was hoping for more difficulty on the final level.

The game was fantastic, but it would have been better with more dead ends. I felt like I was being tunneled through and I really wasn't making any decisions. I was hoping for some more "AHA!" moments. 4/5

Because this game gives a hard badge and has such a high rating, I was expecting more difficult and unique puzzles. But this was very straightforward, with nothing puzzling about it. This game is an introduction to the story, so it will be interesting to see how much more difficult the series gets. The terminal thing is cool, but this first game felt too basic for me.

Beautifully done! I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a game this much. The puzzles were inventive and approachable and the terminal interface was familiar and creative. I was addicted. Hopefully the second episode will come out soon!

I loved this game, solving the challenges made me feel exceptionally smart. Which is more important than actually making thinking hard for the sake of being hard. Can't wait to play more installments. Maybe as we progress we'll start moving on to some shell scripting :p. I feel like this game could totally be used to introduce younger kids into command line interfaces.

Great game. That was probably the most fun I've had collecting a hard badge. I'm intrigued by the story, and I like that the game actually had a terminal-like feel to it. Sometimes it was hard to think that I was playing a game instead of rooting through old computers. Keep up the great work!

Another cheap "copy" of notpron. I actually enjoyed the game up to the point I understood you have to google the Chicago Tribune in order to get the password (admiral). I like thinking logically but making us use google is simply stupid. Sorry 3/5 ;)

Just a grate game. It takes a little bit to get into the right mind set but after that every challenge is an exciting new mystery. I also loved the computers voice and music in the game as well. I cant wait till we get to find out more of the story like what happened to everyone and who am I. Keep up the great work.

August 13th 1961 was the day the Berlin Wall was started to be built. I wonder if that's just coincidence. Anyway, I really enjoyed playing this and look forward to future episodes.

Strange but true: Bruce Dayton hadn't logged in for over 9 years when his birthday was celebrated. Maybe Bruce didn't like computers?

My wrap-up of this game was like a Jim Butcher novel: "The user typed 'nonsense' into a terminal. Several things happened at once. The game ended. An achievement was unlocked. The user reached level 55. An intelligent AI long-since imprisoned gained access to an other-dimensional world. The AI warmly thanked the user, and asked it to 'help' in furthering its ambitions. The user had a bad feeling about this..."

Phenomenal job on the game. My only complaint is the obvious use of a text-to-speech program instead of getting an actual voice actress to read the script and then adding filters to make it sound more digital. Even so, I'm looking forward to part 2.
