Basically we can't edit the files because they're self modifying. Just to give you an idea of how far ahead we've gotten :)

pm me on Reddit! I don't feel safe giving out my email just on the forum haha https://www.reddit.com/user/amndka/

They're perfectly symmetrical, it might just be a red herring which would be genius because it seems like it's so obviously a clue

That's Unforgettable by Nat King Cole. It was released in like 1951 but the real question is how does the dev take it and how does it fit in

Also I just realised that in the version I have on my computer of DPTG, there's a clock that displays the time it is in 24 hr format but some lets players (like Markiplier) don't have that clock on their screens? Is it just me?

so I made a thread dedicated to solutions and clues we've found and summarized everything we've said here already so if anyone is reading this and doesn't want to go through the whole thread to find something, it's all there

So I don't know about everyone else but I have been losing my mind trying to figure out Don't Play This Game. I figured that a bunch of heads were better than one so I made a new thread that can be dedicated to solving the game(s?) where we can focus on sharing things we've found and hopefully organize it a bit more. I'm more than willing to make summary posts will all the information to make it easier on all of us and I hope we can make some real progress! Cracking whatever this is will be incredibly satisfying, I can feel it.

Below I have gone through the Read. This. First. Thread and picked out all of the relevant information that has been shared.

• Yama Maya pointed out that the speaker in Don't Play This Game likely has receptive aphasia
• Deszip first noted that when you open solution.png and flip it upside down, the words that are being spoken are printed faintly on the image
• Half Punch Man "looked inside" the picture file to find text and the number sequence 467767
• This led to the discovery that all his games are connected
• Deszip also gave us the things they've discovered in the other games
  • MO 9+
  • HN 467767
  • DPTG Look inside. 467767
  • 6B LHFDMY, HDYLFM
  • two are unaccounted for
• KupaRizu gave us their testing results
  • "Okay, so I think I'm getting close to something here, thanks to Deszip and a little playing around myself.I think that the six books cypher (LHFDMY/HDYLFM) combines with the HYPNO/DPTG clue: 467767 and LOOKINSIDE within The Painful Box somehow.I've attemped both L4,H6,F7,D7,M6,Y7 and H4,D6,Y7,L7,F6,M7 but neither seemed to have done anything.The only other thing I can think is that T&Bs reverse instruction refers to either the Cypher or the Numbers (As reversing the AV only gets "Lick my Ass" and "F*ck me in the pussy", which I don't think is a hint) but that's a lot of variables to test."
• As well as Punderstatement's theory
  • "Hey I Found something and sense you also seem to be trying this and made some progress I wanted to share something I found. In this game the number/780 is made after 30 letters are said. The last 780 is 30*26 because of 30 letters with 26 in the alphabet. The first number is weird you have to assign a number value. A=1 B=2 etc but dont include repeats and that equals the first number. Hopefully this helps you make progress if you find anything it would be awesome if you could share"
• Xavierou noted that opening the solution.png in notepad will bring up a block of symbols with some hidden Italian. Any elaboration would be great
• TEAMRAGEXD pointed out that the series of games might not be over yet and we might be missing one to get the full picture

I myself am still noodling around in the files and haven't found anything extra quite yet, although I can't seen to find any hidden Italian when opening the solution.png as a notepad file. Good luck to all of you as you try to piece this all together and I look forwards to reading the developments that come forwards!
