I responded yesterday but messed it up and didn't send it as a reply to this whoops - not used to using itch's forum features lol. Anyway I got it! Thanks for the tip, not sure why I didn't think to look that closely earlier haha. Unsure if I'll have time/be able to do anything for the jam but at least doing the mystery stuff was fun!
I didn't think so but you never know sometimes haha. I'll give it another shot tomorrow or so when I've had some sleep and am capable of thinking clearly lol. Thanks!
The article is the only thing I haven't figured out yet. I have been googling wildly and staring at the image for what feels like hours but I cannot even begin to comprehend what is supposed to give me anything remotely resembling a password here. It could just be that I'm currently sleep-deprived and have a headache and am missing something obvious, but either way I'm unbelievably lost and just about at my wit's end here lol.
I don't want the answer given to me or anything big given away, I do want to at least have some sense of figuring something out, but Is there any chance I could be slightly nudged in the right direction? Even a cryptic riddle or something idk lmao
it is a jpg, they're saying they had to manually change it to a webp to be able to look at it at all. also for the record i also had issues with opening it with windows photos - the window just kinda froze whenever i opened it. my workaround was just using the preview of the file in google drive lol.
