part 3(Spoilers) 4. FINALLY after i had giving up trying to figure it out I used trial and error, starting with subtracting 98 since that was the greatest number i could subtract before getting to zero
After 3 tries I had found a word that had made sense, but i still don't know the algorithm! could someone explain it to me?

Part 2 (spoilers)
2. i noticed that 'z' would have been 90 in the ascii one, so i again played with the number of letters 90/5=18, so 18*7 = 126, since 126 would have been 'z', i subtracted 25 to get 'a', which is 101 that was an immediate failure since the number 99 is in the password
3.I then tried the opposite way, the latter 'a' is 65 and there are 5 letters, so 65/5=13 so I then tried 13 *7=91, when I decoded it, it had made no sense.

I am glad that the passwords are actually words because:
(Spoilers)
On the one 'mission' where you are trying to power the air lock where is said
'Ascii' = some numbers, but it turned out to have added 64 to the number of the letter i.e. a=1, 1+64 = 65, so for ascii a = 65
I tried loads of ways to get the answer for the password, among was:
1. i noticed ascii had 5 letters and that 64 are like this 6>5>4, so i tried it with the password 8>7>6, failed (part one)

I have just finished the game. It's really fantastic!
Congratulations to the writer of this masterpiece of programming!

Apologies for double post, but gotta place feelings somewhere. SO anyways, 9001/5 game! These puzzles were some of the most challenging I have faced in a loooong time. I also love how the game weaves in and out of itself - I thought the fact that Bruce Dayton was gone for how-long-I-forget was just a weird big number (It's probably a reference or something, I'm seeing a lot of comments about portal references), but then again, they were all dead for decades... also, the fact that AMOS 5.23, key word harps, the ending music with harps. Creative use of outside search too! I was sad when the game ended, and along with the countless others, I can't wait for part 2! Gotta save Lya! And amazing game! (Just an aside, I so thought that when I turned the camera on, I would get jumpscared. Boy was I lucky).

(SPOILER) That was the weirdest moment on the newspaper thing when I though "Screw it... I'm looking it up". First think I see is "August 13, 1961 page 23". Is this set of advertisements famous or something?

malwarebytes is blocking mu.studiocime.com as a malicious website. Did someone hijack your page or is it a false positive?

A little over ten minutes to complete. Guess it helps to be a programmer. I solved several of the puzzles using my own programs on the commandline. Bonus points for tab completion. Now 'sudo !!' would be welcome too :)

read email that mention his birthday, check date it was sent. Then deduct 30 years (as it's his 30th bday) and you get the date.

Alternately, the second half could be 'coz I is insane. I've been making sounds at my computer for a good 20 minutes. Thank the gods I live alone.

playing around with the runes at the end - if you read them phonetically (And count a backwards B as ingwaz - really?) you get "you are learning nothing - 's life it isn't sophy (knowledge)" (Maybe).

There seems to be a bug closing the camera jpg on Peter O'Brian computer. I cannot close it and therefore cannot type any commands.

This is a very clever and unique puzzle game. It makes you use your resources. I can't wait until the second chapter comes out. Though I am still trying to decode that ending message.. <3

It's a pretty good game. I did like the sudden twist in the story and how the entire game takes place in one DOS interface. Using the internet to solve puzzles reminds me of old educational games that tried to have me use the internet to find solutions.
