Hey, I'm new to this forum and to this site, but I found out about this game, from markiplier actually and immediately became interested. I have been following along a little with you all's progress and I think I have something to add. It keeps telling us to look inside and so I did. I used 7-zip to open the games executable file and found three files the most notable of which was the .ini file, it is labeled leave.ini

And example can be seen here - http://imgur.com/FSaRAdn

Anyway I did the same for his other 9 games and found a different named .ini for each one. Not sure if this means anything but I though it was interesting. (I apologize for the spacing it made use double spaces like this)

One the edge: where.ini

MOON OMEN: DEATH.ini

The painful box: drown.ini

Six Books: books.ini

en wye: enwye.ini

Hypno-467767: hypno.ini

Unforgettable: utwya.ini

Tits and Boobies: erect.ini

Don't play this game: leave.ini

Also reversed this music at the end of Six Books, haven't been able to find the name of this music but seems like it might be a clue.

the ****.ini files are the configurations for the game, but I've been thinking the same way about these files, the way the developer named those files , It feels like it has a purpose.

And I might be overthinking this one , but I'm also intrigued by the author's description on each game, if you open the main site ( https://unknown-developer.itch.io ) , you can see all the games alongside with each descriptions, and somehow when I read those descriptions in order , It somehow sounds related and feels like it can be combined into one phrase . (try reading from en wye -> tits & boobies -> Six Books -> Moon Omen ).

Then again, I might be overthinking about this one.

hey there, did you try opening the .ini files? If so, it'd be awesome to see what's in them. I currently can't access my computer to do it myself, but if you could, and share what they have, that'd be awesome. If someone already did so, I'll let you know (I need to check the Google doc to see if that happened- I honestly cant remember) the configurations could have stuff hidden in it

[.ini from 'en wye']

title=en wye

numselections=1

defaultselection=1

selscreenfull1=n

Seldesc1=en wye

selscreensize1=1280,720

selgamesize1=1280,720

selcode1=runexit

selurl1="Data\en wye.exe"

selquality1=high

selscreencolordepth1=32

selinf1=ATXPWJLA

selscreenbgcolor1=000000

Selgamebgcolor1=000000

selscreenclosebtn1=N

Selcloseonevent1=N

That's basically the configurations for all the games, i've tried changing some of the variables but it seems to have no difference in outcome.

Same, although I was able to make them not run by omitting some of the lines in the ini.

awesome, thank you for your quick reply (like, dayum son) unfortunately, I dont have my computer, but my plan is gonna be something like this:

In the color (any row with the word color in it) I'm going to try putting in 467767 one at a time to see if there's a visual change, (since aside from it spelling "horror"; someone implied it could be color coding, and changing each value one at a time could produce something different each time that would have been invisible otherwise)

Thank you once again!

Hey that's a good idea OdetteDressedInBlack I remember that color code thing too, I'll have to try that to.

Thanks Lordbaaa, I was just about to post the ini names, since I felt that some seemed notable.

I also tried swapping some of the files around to see if anything might happen, such as putting drown.ini or DEATH.ini in On the edge, as well as changing the internal settings of these files, no noteworthy impact so far.

I thought I would try to take the 1st picture of The Painful Box, and change the perspective to see if there's anything there, but I'm having trouble mapping the horizontal axis. I don't think I can quite do it, at least not with 100% accuracy. On the 2nd picture, does anyone know what is being shown? I was thinking washing machines because of the one at the bottom mid-left, but I'm not sure looking at the rest.

I don't normally interact with communities on such a "game", but one of these days, a real psychopath is gonna think it fun or funny to do something like this with real stakes. No offence Unknown Dev, but that said, I'm gonna see what I can do with ______, if nothing is concerning, I'l keep quiet.

Best of luck to the rest of you.

EDIT: By the way, every one of these contains a data folder with 4 files, 1 is an exe that as far as I can tell does the exact same thing which is to read the .dat file of the same name, you can mix and match .dat and .exe freely in this manner and it will work so long as they have the same name. So to anyone digging through file contents, .dat is where you wanna look, and use the .exe to figure out how. Not that I care, but to all of you who are "playing" this, I can't vouch for what is and is not a legit method of "playing".
