The hardest riddle is actually the one where you have to play with the light of the lab, because the previous events didnt prepare your mind to have that kind of riddle. I've spent like 30 mins on it trying random codes before understanding how obvious it was!
The feel of being a hacker/investigator, the fact that there's a story and there are mysteries around your identity makes it immersive. Without wanting to spoil too much, the religious and AI background and the fact that you are discovering something that happened decades ago that could change the face of our world is very exciting and there's much potential for a sequel.
But the riddles themselves get easy once we got the mechanics of programming and the fact that we have to "think out of the box". If there's a sequel, that would be great to have harder riddles :)
Very good game overall, 5/5 for originality and immersion and would love to play part 2 :)

I thought of the correct solution to the TV one but I didn't actually look for it because I thought the game was supposed to supply all information and that the solution was so outlandish. It made it easier for the amos one later.
Also, the runes read mu.database.studiocime.com

Jeez, that camera puzzle was terribly counter-intuitive, I mean it is not like the name in that phrase is something repeated, and the hints people tried to say in the comments implied it was an anagram, which it is not.

haha, im at the part where you have to find the password for the airlock and just found it, and thinking: Hahahahaha this is huge, a real work of investigation!

To stack on to what everyone else is saying, this "game" is pure genius. It doesn't even seem fair to call it a game because it is so much more than that. I am blown away by your ingenuity and I cannot WAIT for the next chapter. I would gladly pay a not significant amount of $$ if the sequel is made available as an iPad app (and frankly, Episode 1 is so engaging that I'm pretty sure I would pay good money for any other games you publish if they are remotely the same in quality). THANK YOU.

Enjoyed the game. Spelling/grammatical issues causing it to not get 5/5 rating. Do suggest treading carefully when you design any more puzzles similar to the newspaper one. As mentioned before, it's not always easy for some people to access the clues due to location and/or changes the owners of the content cause.

The "code" that appears at the end of the game can be matched with modern runic font, and produces this website:

The release date of the next game?

Great game, guys! Enjoyed playing it, though that newspaper puzzle threw me into I read the "think out of the box" comment. I'm a huge fan of pseudo-hacking games, so this is just what I was in the mood for!
Super excited for more games like this from y'all!

Such an epic journey. It's a refreshing take on cryptology, text adventure and interactive fiction games. I suspect this game will go down in history like the games of Dunnet by Ron Schnell. ^_^ YOU GO TEAM!!! Hehe, looks like the runes point to a webpage that says a date that just so happen to coincide with a flight of mine... 0.0

I just dont understand the newspaper one I tried searching the date in the archive but it just gives me something about court

Hate when people think it's simple for people who just have to learn how to do commands, flipping ablest... very hard for me to find the codes, but I applaud the originality of the game, very unique and I'd give it a 5/5 for it.

The game is very interesting! It requires a surprising amount of problem solving and critical thinking. It's not too difficult and, despite the use of linux commands, remains very simple for people to learn. The game even requires you to use resources not necessarily found within the game which is always a very welcome twist to a puzzle.
On top of that, it appears the puzzle expands even beyond the game's completion as there seems to be an additional little bonus (I wont spoil it). Rate and share guys, this game deserves the exposure!

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
