Are you really supposed to call the Chicago Tribune on Level 8? If you are, you really hooked this game up as a challenge... Three minutes later...

Passwords are not case-sensite 0/5 would not recommend.
Kidding aside however this is a GREAT game and i am happy to know most of the commands to some extent to find my way around.

I really enjoyed this game. It really got me hooked! I have to admit I did look some stuff up, but overall, good difficulty level and well executed.

What form is his date of birth supposed to be typed in?
I opened the aevans.mail and I see the date on it but when I type it in "unlock" it doesn't work. I tried 031864, 03 18 64, 03-18-64 and also tried with 19 instead of 18...

My first response to this game was "Boring" but then I found myself 20 minutes later looking up archived newspaper ads, counting the alphabet on my fingers and scrolling through DEC & HEX codes...
LOVE IT...!!
Needless to say never judge a book by it's cover (or a game by it's DOS intro)

I cant remember the last time I enjoyed a text game that much. The difficulty was perfect, unlike a lot of the others I have played in the past, which can be annoyingly difficult at times. Also there is something very special about a game that encourages you to actually search for things out side of the game it self to find a password. Not to mention that part was done in a way that so long as you have basic searching skills it isn't to terribly difficult. Great job overall I cant wait for the next one.

Reverse Morse encoding of the message provided by the 64 bit decryption yields the message 'moo'. moo.database.studiocime dot com yields @thalie, a user account on twitter. This user account happens to also be linked to the @MuComplex account. Not sure where to go from here though, I don't use twitter.

"Fun and challenging game, with clever mechanics that are easy to pick up and make you feel smart. Baring a few spelling errors, this is one of the best games I've played on Kongregate.
Easily a five star rating."

OK, so the Runes lead to a website which leads to encoded data which decodes to : M M M M,*,$#R where the Ms are prefixed by control codes. The trailing = leads me to think Base64, but the control characters are odd.

*smh* needed the walk through to try ssh'ing to the other visible machine. Made it to the end on my own from there 5/5 awesome!

The time on the camera in Level 3 syncs to your computer clock, to the second. That's the kind of tiny little detail that makes games like this so awesome. I've never played a more awesome keyboard-only game!

I knew there was something about this game that spoke to me. And then I got to the air lock puzzle. That was an incredibly creative puzzle, with multiple steps involved (trying to not spoil anything) that was a blast to solve. The downside was the rest of the puzzles after that seemed less creative by comparison. When I figured out what the game was going for in terms of puzzle solution after that, the rest of the game seemed really easy and not quite as fun. Especially the last level, where two of the puzzles were basically a redo of previous ones. And the others, while not bad by any means, just didn't feel like as much thought had gone into them.
That being said, I still had a great deal of fun with this game. Even though I though the end was a bit of a let down, the rest of the game more then made up for it. I eagerly await the next episode.
5/5
