SPOILERS/hints: 1) if you're searching Chicago Tribune archives on a site that asks you to buy an article - search for another site with these archives; 2) for the Bible references, use New International Version, not King James; 3) in ASCII table, codes for lower-case letters (abc) are after all upper-case letters (ABC); 4) in music notation, the notes are placed either on the lines, or between the lines, and they are repeated - after G there is A, before A there is G

I captured a screen grab of the runic message at the end, but it isn't in a font I recongize. It isn't traditional nordic runes (the B is reversed and there are curved segments) but they aren't Tolkien Dwarvish runes either.

Best game I have played in a long time: especially for a game with no graphics. Seriously, EPIC idea! I do some programming, and I would love to help make the next part!!!

I don't get it. Bruce Dayton didn't login for 60 years. Yet 50 years ago, Adams sent a message to Nathan about his birthday. But he didn't login for 10 years by that time.

I am divided. I can't say I hate it because I enjoy hacker games with typing commands. And I cant say I like it because of the overuse of puzzles needing a such engine and references to the bible. Being an atheist myself it was annoying to say the least. All in all 4/5. I am interested to see where this leads.

Such a fantastic game! Once I got the hang of it, it was less frustrating and more fun. I can't wait for part 2! 5/5.

This was actually challenging enough to make me keep notes as I went along. Excellent game, superb work on the puzzles! Can't wait to see where the game goes in following episodes.

You need to look up a real life newspaper article, and use the New International Bible - NOT the King James. Uses a totally different word.
Other than those questionable mechanics, really nice!

There were a lot of typos but besides that, it was very interesting and new. I definitely want to play part two when it comes out! 4/5

Like everyone said : really great game !
I never thought my IT skills will be required in a game, though this time it was for pure fun.
Thanks for that game ^^

I guess I'm dumb. I'm at the part where you must connect to a machine on lv 2 to fix a virtual lock. I've tried using the "half4499way" password to connect to danielrich, as it seems to be the only option presented, but it doesn't work. What am I overlooking...? Anyway, seems fun, but if it's ridiculously complex further on, I doubt I'll ever get through it w/o a walkthrough. lol

Great game! Clever and challenging and it made me think back to when I was a child and started to learn how to use a computer running DOS.

Awesome game, well done. I agree with the comments, the newspaper part was the hardest as that was the first puzzle where you needed to think outside the box. :P

the 2 things I didn't get: the musical notes password and the 115-99-105-101-110-99-101 code. Spoiler: How was I supposed to know it started the abc again from 97 when the ASCII abc ends at 90?

It's hard for non-linux players because they don't know the commands. It's impossible for linux players because you constantly try to use commands that are not there (Plus I realy miss tab autocomplete) ;P
The puzzles themselves were not that hard to be honest. Only difficult bit was figuring out to search in the newspaper archive the first time, but it was sort of obvious. Great game nonetheless!

Incredible really liked how you managed to use the concepts of travel (transport) and time and make it part of the puzzle solving experience as well.

Finally went deeper into the game. The best thing about it is that feeling of reay uncovering some sort of secret, working all by Yourself and searching for informations. Like in movie where You are the hero. :D 5/5!

Amazing game, however the Chicago Newspaper part is probably the worst mechanic i have found in ANY flashgame.. please refrain from ruining a great game like that in the future parts... 5/5 IF next part doesn't include anything THAT stupid.

Just imagine the surprise of people at Chicago Tribune - "why on earth are thousands of people from around the world using our archives? And why are they all looking for that specific date?"

This is one of the best puzzle games I've played in a long time. I would explain why, but that would spoil half the fun! ;)
