You don't need to add laura to complete the task. Or you can add her without viewing her.

Either way, I have completed that task, so it is perfectly possible

yeah i got stuck on whole brain emulation loop for ages as well. it is obvious what WBE is, but it gets stuck in a loop.

i don't remember finding any way out; i think i just blundered about in the loop for ages, then killed the game and reopened, and somehow eventually it got out.

But it's probably not registered some vital clue now or something.

oh ok fair enough; i thought this was more of a pre-release of the full game than still an early beta

Do we need to read laura youngs entry to find out the dog name?

i can't give you more help without saying follow the link to the video in deep throats email and you'll see the password written in plain sight on the computer screen

Every time you try to use a sentence with paragon, then EVERY time it adds ANOTHER task in the available tasks, despite it already being completed. You then have to wait for her to do her annoying search, then when that timer is up you're locked into viewing the ppt and going through all the dialogue yet again.
Then, it adds ANOTHER number to the tracker total. Currently I have a yellow 4 and counting - but it's all just repeats of paragon. Pretty annoying.

And now it's just stuck in the dialogue. It literally says "let me know when you've taken a look" but if you type "I've taken a look" it just says I'm not Following you. Maybe reframe your question?

For starters, this isn't a question, and for seconds, it is LITERALLY what i was told to write, and it DOESN'T recognise it?

Do you see how infuriating this is getting? Happens all the time. It's worse than those old text based or text typing/graphics games of about 30 years ago

I have added laura young to the address book, but there is nothing below U and you can't scroll down.

Firstly, is there meant to be a link here? It seems importan

https://www.superstring.studio/projectamicus

It is linked from the main website.

In the investigation log I have 6,9,16 and 20 open, and a bunch of others completed. I have found out beatrice abbots role, but how do i tell ana this? I just get some stupid response like "i don't know what you mean"  "sorry i'm in development", or even more infuriatingly, she just gives a totally irrelevant and unrelated history of nanomax.

What is the magic key word we're supposed to guess?

"GOODBYES ARE HARD, BUT OFTEN ILLUMINATING"

I assume this is a puzzle from much later on that I've just solved now?

Not directly. Its obvious when you see it

once you delete the file in the first sub directory, ana almost immediately says you've done the jailbreak, and deep throat sends another email.

Wrong folder. 

You deleted the backup. 

Is just in acolyte-data folder

Ok, if anyone else is looking, DO NOT look at the nanomax website for this.

that is a complete and annoying red herring from ana. 

Also don't look in the actual file directory on your computer. You'll just find stuff that you're probably not meant to see until later. There's a simple substitution cipher in there, and a locked file. 

You need to find the password in plain sight and use it to unlock the tab on the bottom right of the app (says debug)

Ah ok no worries. 

So it is the "debug area | admin only" menu we are trying to unlock then? Because it is kinda of implied, but not totally clear.

There are also locked files in the game directory, and it's also implied it's in there.

For a game based on puzzles, it is quite disappointing to see the clue referred to as the password being hidden in PLAIN SIGHT and also PLAIN SITE

Well which is it? If one is true, it implies the other is a stupid careless spelling mistake.
But if the other is true, it implies the clue isn't even revealed in some information.
?

And while we're at it, where do you unlock the investigation tracker? There are various places you could input a password, and it isn't really clear which one it is.

Ok it's also stupid. You have to add FIONA and NIGHTINGALE separately. Shows up as 2ppl in the address book. Few others like this as well. Very frustrating

Oh, another one is in the description of another contact. Just read everything.

EG This contact you already found works for <NEW CONTACT>

I have 20. All you need is the app and the website for that.

From the website there's a meet the team page, or some such.

In the app, read EVERY email, and add every reference to a name. Also the 3 scrolling news things have some names in. Can't find the last one tho.

EG some email is like "Oh i'll miss joe's jokes". So add Joe.

Had to reinstall the game again, delete everything, find where the app hid its data (in LocalLow), delete all that, play everything again, and now it seems to be continuing. Not ideal.
It also refused to do the personality test until I quit and started again. I kept saying "personality test" and it kept saying it didn't understand. Very nearly went for the refund. I know it's EA, but it shouldn't be that annoying.

Completed the prologue, bought this, but nothing changed.

I tried resetting the data from the in game menu, got thru to the wardrobe, but still nothing new.

Others have mentioned a password. Are we supposed to have a password to put in on the bottom tab?
