((spoilers ahead))












That password thing is really hard. 

First, I'm quite familiar with this kind of data. There's no mistake, this is a hex-encoded byte, the irl byte-encoding format usually used to represent an encrypted data. Just take a look at some random encrypted data and you'll see this kind of [two-digit + a..f] gibberish.

So I started with several angle of attack : What if I entered this password to that PC as it is? Is this a base64 encoding? What if I change this hex to decimal? What if I change this hex to decimal then convert it back to ascii-encoded string? 

All with no success. 

This puzzle is so hard that I accidentally decoded the final question by carefully studying the clock. 

(Yeah, I thought that I could probably decode the password by using this clock, since, you know, I see some numbers and letters over there).

But in the end, thankfully, LIBRA finally gave me enough clues to move on.

But the server sequence is a different kind of challenge.

I mean, some people (me, for example) will start from the letter 'C' since it appeared right after the initial process. 

So I spent a tireless night brute-forcing the sequence : top to bottom, bottom to top, top to the 'E' (since the 'server reboot' text somewhat aligns with the 'E' server), bottom to 'E', 'E' to bottom, just 'E'... Running around back and forth around floor 31 - 60 to verify the answer until the inevitable time's embrace claims this poor soul. All with no success.

(well, I found two nice details along the way though. But still, in the end, I'm super stuck)

In the end, I found the answer by.... carefully watching the Twitter X conversations around this game ;_;

My final comment regarding this server-puzzle is.... well, technically, should the initial part count as 'C' even if there is no 'C' character shown just yet? Or is this just a part of the puzzle? I don't know. But it's super hard to me.

Agreed... The C part at the beginning is superflous... Because if we make a wrong move, they expect to start from the second part of the clue :')

Actually, you have to use the computer with the C twice, as the hidden sequence tells you. 

First: to even start the input sequence, when no other computer is accessible (even though the C is not yet displayed, it is the same computer)

Second: as the last input of the sequence

Once you relize, the sequence needs the C two times and you can only enter "y" in every computer once, after the very first input, this is actually a very logical solution. 

I tried doing #3 from your tweet by deleting registry, but the time started at 11:50... would you tell me how you did it if it's not a hassle to you?

In the first loop, the time always started at 11.50, so just go straight to the boss room and let them kill you. But in the second loop, go straight to rescue the second document, fix the server room, get the third document, and then go to the boss room.
