I accidentally found it while brute-forcing the server sequence. Right now, I even forget about the actual configuration. 😅

If you put a certain server sequence configuration, the "Commercial excerpt #76694" file will be shown on your PC.

The game staff credits... I'm really curious to crack this code.

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.

((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.

Yeah. I encountered that bug too.
