This is an amazing work, It left me wanting to keep playing even after the game ended, I think the atmosphere is very well created and is very enjoyable.

I enjoyed it so much that I thought it would be fun to Speedrun this game, and so I did, even some friends went further and optimized the game to complete it in 7 minutes, crazy! I have many questions to ask on a technical level if you were willing to answer, but I do not want to bother either, amazing job Julien! I leave the video of one of my friends completing it in 7 minutes if you want to see it!

It's really great work ! I love speedruns, I watched a lot of them not that long ago. Thank you very much to you and your friend. Ask me all the questions you want.

------SPOILER ALERT (probably)------

I would really like to know if the randomness in the secure box each number is random? or there's a certain number of combinations, this would helps a lot for our optimization finishing the game, we already found like 10 of them but we are still finding a lot more, also you are invited to our Speedrun community of this game if you want to watch by yourself the things are we finding to optimize the game ;) https://www.speedrun.com/invitationem https://discord.gg/D5x7wFmJgF

this enigma has a particular functioning.

2 different screens may appear :

+ The 1st has marks on the B, C and F keys.
+ The second, the A, D and E keys.

For the following explanations, I will take the example of the BCF pattern.

You should know that a function in the program prevents you from finding it the first time. If by chance you enter the correct combination the first time, the game tells you that you made a mistake and the correct answer is redetermined by the program. Players succeeding the second time do not know it but they achieve a perfect.

Next :
The game talks about 6 possible combinations but that's a "lie".

In reality I have eliminated the back and forth combinations of the possibilities (BCF and FBC). It is very often the combinations that are tried first by the players.

So we are left with 4 real possibilities (BFC, CBF, CFB and FBC).

Obtaining this puzzle would amount to entering one of these 4 to pass the false first try stage as quickly as possible and really start the puzzle. In short, knowing all this, the number of possibilities by in reality from 6 to 3.

I chose to program this puzzle this way to create an illusion of challenge. I found it ridiculous at the time of the tests to arrive at this enigma and that sometimes the most obvious of the 6 combinations was the right ones the first time.

I am French and I translate on google. I hope it can help despite my bad English.

Someone seems to have broken the score by skipping this puzzle XD
