I think he is talking about the characters when viewed as text, but it isnt text, the "Italian". This is normal when you try to view a non-text file, it shwows you the hex instead.

Try a hex viewer on solution.png, like HxD, at the end, "Do you understand me? Nobody does. The truth is deeper inside. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again. - 467767 - Listen again."

Also, new game, unforgettable. I found this in unforgettable, "http://imgur.com/a/v4W75".

Someone else, Pix Player said, "Morse code for "unforgettable" photo : theanswerlayshere.

He also mentioned the morse code in solution.png which others have found

We need someone who is good at photoshop to remove his profile picture, he overlayed ontop of it, from solution.png. Get rid of it so only the text behind it is left. Then we have an accurate version of the text without his profile picture blocking it out, so we can read it properly

I've tried but its hard to match up the images by opacity etc,and I cant find a high quality version of the profile pic

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?

somebody said something about the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." right?

because on urban dictionary it says "A popular sentence that uses all the letters in the english alphabet, a phrase called a panagram. Due to its shortness and coherence, it has become widely known and is often used in visual arts."

i feel like the /780 is something more. If you guys (and girls) see the same text wall for the the same number (say you get 356/780 twice and you get the same text twice) then if you put the text in order (from 1/780 to 780/780) we could get a HUGE text wall that might mean something in the future

anybody tried to look if this means something? https://puu.sh/vmgJG/b8eed9048b.png

I have some theories too. Maybe let's try to look in to the source code of the games webpage? Developers hide stuff usually in weird places.

Anyone know how to extract that audio file? Recording it wouldn't be clear enough. I could look into the actual waveforms and see if we get anywhere!

Does anyone know if there is a typed transcript of the audio yet? If so, where can I find it? My BF is watching SAO and I can't hear to get a firm grasp on the nonsense words.

I have an idea...

I'm not usually one to do this kind of thing, but I can read a few lines of the transcript.

Line 1: "Cue ____ the fact I don't know"

Line 10: "Should I garest him?"

Line 11: "Find me a gromfriel"

I'm fairly sure on my first two guesses, but as far as my last one goes, I'm unsure.

Another possibility to line 1: "Que Latin the fact I don't know"

Oi i checked the morse code look like on solutions.png

i got . ..- .. ... .- .. -.- --- --- .... as the morse code (or what looks like..)

the translation?? EUISAIKOOH

(i accidentally posted this in the wrong thread oop)

i mean it could just be translated to letters n smth but i dont know

Here is my transcript. The words that were nonsense, I couldn't understand or just didn't make logical sense are in CAPS.

EDIT: I did some messing around with the solution image, and I was able to see some of the words I was unsure of. Words I still need to work on are in CAPS and have a ??

https://pastebin.com/3WMNH5b3

So I might be not seeing this right, but at the end of the "solution" file, I've flipped it and did a little tweaky to it and I swear to God it looks like the last line says something like "Find me a rom file!"

I don't know how to dig into folders and whatnot of the games... I'm just kinda intruiged (thanks Markiplier) and was looking... Yeah... any way to "find" the game and give it anything? or prove we've "found" it?

EDIT: Find, not Give.

Interesting fact: folgen translates to consequence in German.

Interesting fact #2: garest is a german word, a second-person singular subjunctive of garen. Garen means to make or become ready (as in cooked). So, "should I garest him?" translates to "should I cook him" or "should I prepare him to be eaten". There seems to be a lot of German words. Grom friel (or gromfriel) seems german, but translation comes up empty.

Verb

garest

1. Second-person singular subjunctive I of garen.

Verb

garen

1. (ergative) to make/become ready (cooked)

I dunno if this helps, but i opened the solution.png in thr 3d builder at, and somehow it created something, HELP?

On the bottom of the image, it shows what looks to me like Morse code. If you guys know Morse go for it, but I just used a direct translator to get (for the one on top) EUISAI and (for the one on the bottom) KOOF. Thoughts?

See, I don't know much (I just found this whole game and am FASCINATED)

But my first theory is that there are 780 SLIGHTLY different versions of this audio, and at the end it's saying which of those you listened to. Marking the differences would give you the answer? It's just a theory. I have NO clue.

I don't know if it's of any importance, but "Don't Play This Game" resets its volume level after every listen.

I believed that the last bit of text says 'Find me a rom file'? like a .rom file?

Okay, so i spent a while listening and reserching some of the words he says

"Queue light and the fight, i dont know which for some post amusting, why dont you *gruel on it same *folgen as ever hover the table cloth *punt, do you understand me? no one does, listen there is a *bonjens at the door, should i gerent him? find me a *Ground friel

~from what i was able to make out *Gruel also ment to accept punishment or something that lacks substance or significance to an argument.

~Folgen is German for consequences

~punt to me made me think he was about to be punished from the previous statements

~Bonjens is also meaning German Sheppard (Dog)

~and garent meaning to agrivate

~ground friel is what i hear but i cant be sure

So the XXX/780 was actually an incredibly simple "cipher" to figure out. Basically the 30 Letters Provided for each listen are generated. Those letters often repeat (but that doesnt matter). You simply take each letter provided in that 30 and count it once. so lets just say you have abcde abcde abcde abcde abcde abcde. All you would do is make a list of ABCDE and translate that to numbers 1-26. meaning you get 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15. That would mean you get 15/780. The total 780 is actually 26 (letters of the alphabet) x 30. Its impossible to have a total of 780 ever, and the obvious maximum you could get was if you were to get all 26 letters in that list is 351. From this point on though i have no idea whats really important about those numbers though.

My Possible Hypothesis is maybe you need to take the 30 digit actual total and get its difference for the given total of "non Repeat". in this case if we take my prior example you get 15/780, but the actual is 90/780 that difference is 75. but even then idk how that is useful. If anyone can brain storm this further, possibly connect dots i never figured out that would be awesome. i did figure out the "Look inside" bit but that was about it. no idea what else to do here for now

it could even be possible we need to take that remainder and somehow divide it up into another string of letters that equal the same total, or Convert that into letters just based on all the single digit letters (ex. A-I, 253 = BEC) but honestly im lost.... there must be something else hidden that isnt obvious. I dont know there are 2 voices talking the entire time but no idea what the background is saying.

so i found this in string.txt after extracting the .exe file

Has anyone had the following codes:

There are 3'085'851'035'479'212 possible combinations of letters. Of these, though, if they must have a meaning there are way less. Tell me if I'm wrong

Hello, I'm new here, I wanted to try and help out solving this puzzle. I've noticed no one really payed attention to the audio it self. I work with video/audio programs for a living so i was thinking maybe I could play around with the recorded audio myself. If I find something that is useful or anything I'll post it here.

Uhm, i might have something here. If you look at the solution.png, you should see a bunch of dots at the top and at the buttom. I tried to translate it into words with morse code and i got this (lssk maomde) And if you flip the picture it says (euisai kooq ) ?

Im very confused.

btw, if you search the words up on google, they both have something to do with old newspapers

call on the number 467767

I don't think the A=1, B=2 thing is right. Someone mentioned something about adding the letters you got converted into numbers and it gives you the XXX/780 but that's not the case, last night i converted and summed my letter sequence and got something different from what my actual XXX was

set solution.png as your dessktop picture it gets a little less blurred

ok i am going to type what he says while looking at solution.png

cue like on the fact I don't know which freser post are missing/misting

why don't you grew on it?

same folgens as ever

over the table cloth punt

do you understand me?

nobody does

listen,there is a bojens at the door

should i garest him

find me acrom friel

Found out about this through Markiplier, so I made an account so I could follow along with the discussion and maybe try to help out?

So I was thinking about the words we dont understand really understand. What if they are other languages? Like I believe one thing the speaker says is "Same folgen as ever." I googled the word folgen and apparently it is a German word that means consequences.

So now we have "Same consequences as ever."

Sorry of this has already been mentioned ^^;

Will I confuse more people because I tried to write down what they said ? I will just post what I "heard" out or also read out from the picture.

First attempt:

cue light in a fight I dont know which

*???*

why dont you grew on it

same fortune as ever

hold for the table clothpunt

do you understand me ?

nobody does

listen

there is a budgins at the door

should I garrised him ?

find me a grump for you

Second Attempt with picture:

Cue Rivals the fact I dont know

which frasse/person (maybe ? because the killing themself thing) .. .. missing

why dont you grew on it

same fortune/fallen as ever

over the tablecloth punt

do you understand me ?

Nobody does

listen there is a budgins at a door

should I garest him ?

Find me a grom friel

IMPORTANT, WHO IS GERMAN HERE? OR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS GERMAN LANGUAGE

so guys(and girls) i am going to ask a real question here

what are we trying to accomplish

Are we trying to hit the score of 780?

which will never happen because the numbers will not go beyond 351

or we are trying to find some connection to get even more connections

What is our target here?

where we will write the answ

Im gonna try letting the clock go for a while, see if anything happens. I dont think too much will happen but it is worth a shot.

I do feel like the words we cant understand are German or some other language, so i will try to look into that too

Hey everyone. Also here because of Markiplier. I guess you already found a few things out. If you guys use skype or discord we could all have a group dedicated to solving this.

I think the developer will release more games over time that could help solve it

guys i dont know if you already know this but if you look at your phone contacts

467767 can be traslated to HORROR

*credits to blurry face for giving me hint

If you put the game in audacity, you can hear some kind of conversation and laughing. There's man voice and woman(?) laugh

Something I realized, is that when you unzip the game, there are many versions of it inside itself. The first one, is of course, for programming reasons, (so tha data is inside the app), but apart from Don't Play This Game.exe (but it could have been DPTG also), inside the data folder there is another one...

considering that we know that the games are probably linked it is possible that the letters that you get while playing "dont play this game" can be used in "the painful box"

I was messing around and tried figuring out the syllables per line. Assuming the translation i used was accurate, I got '956764956'. A quick Google search led to me finding this as the first result: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Composite-AV-CVBS-3RCA-...

Would it be possible to hook up a laptop to a TV with this and try running it through there? I honestly have no idea when it comes to converting things like this so I could be reaching here but I figured it was worth a shot.

i just looked in the properties of all the games and they all have this comment except with their respective game titles

SavePath

Setup="Hypno-467767.exe"

Path=%APPDATA%\Hypno-467767

Delete=Data\Hypno-467767.dat

Silent=2

Overwrite=2

Title=Hypno-467767...

i dont know if this is just random code or waht but i hope it helps !

We know quite solidly that the speaker in DPTG has Receptive Aphasia. This accounts for the nonsense words in the passage, especially considering some nonsense words are written on the script on the Solution.png E.g. "gromfriel". I doubt it's German. I fear we are trying to decipher what she's saying too obviously, and thus you probably have an incorrect translation. I think that's a coincidence. What we should be paying attention to is the last big clue we were solidly given: "467767 - Listen Again - 467767 - Listen Again - 467767 - Listen Again - 467767 - Listen Again - 467767 - Listen Again - 467767 - Listen Again" in the Solution.png when opened as a text file. Note that it says it 6 times as well.

Can't we just mod the game and change all it's input to hit the score of 780

Ok, I didn't write this, someone on Mark's channel in the comments did (I forget their name, sorry) but they came up with this:

"Can you imagine the fact that I don't know which I'm supposed to be in? Why don't you go rule me on it. Same old few things as ever. You under the table trade off punts. Can you understand me? Nobody does. Listen, there is a body at the door. Should I get rid of him? Find me at grave field"

Since the person has receptive aphasia it's more of "what are they trying to say" instead of "what does it mean"

Hey there.

So after playing around with the Solution.png on Photoshop (Basically just rotating, mirroring and changing the Brightness and contrast), this came up http://imgur.com/a/tbEmY .

The Morse code says "look inside". Still, no clue of the meaning of the white dots.

-It could be meaningless, but when doing the opposite (brightening the picture instead of darkening it), the shape behind the text clearly seems like a diamond (may be my imagination, but I'm not sure)

"Cue [lanak] the fact I don't know which [postere masting]

Why don't you grew on it

Same [foldgin] as ever

Over[ve] the tablecloth punt

do you undertsand me?

Nobody does

Listen, there a [Bogines] at the door

Should I garest him

Find me a gromfriel"

This is what I could make out through listening and the text on the imagine. A lot of these words seem like old words, ether old English or somthing else. I'm no exspert though, but a lot of these words I think I've heard before

"Garest him" brings up religious text

"Punt" can ether be to hit/kick somthing far or a type of boat.

NEW DISCOVERY:

Inside the exe files, if you paste them into notepad and turn on Wordwrap under Format, mess with the window size, you get an ASCII art of the icons for the games,

Proof:

Credit to Blondebro7 for discovering this!

Hey, I'm new to this forum and to this site, but I found out about this game, from markiplier actually and immediately became interested. I have been following along a little with you all's progress and I think I have something to add. It keeps telling us to look inside and so I did. I used 7-zip to open the games executable file and found three files the most notable of which was the .ini file, it is labeled leave.ini

And example can be seen here - http://imgur.com/FSaRAdn

Anyway I did the same for his other 9 games and found a different named .ini for each one. Not sure if this means anything but I though it was interesting. (I apologize for the spacing it made use double spaces like this)

One the edge: where.ini

MOON OMEN: DEATH.ini

The painful box: drown.ini

Six Books: books.ini

en wye: enwye.ini

Hypno-467767: hypno.ini

Unforgettable: utwya.ini

Tits and Boobies: erect.ini

Don't play this game: leave.ini

Also reversed this music at the end of Six Books, haven't been able to find the name of this music but seems like it might be a clue.

HEY OK SO I HAVE A QUESTION! Since the word Garest in German is "to prepare to be eaten/cooked" are we positive that it is a body/ somebody at the door? could it possibly be some type of animal because that would personally make more sense (then again this is a horror-esk game so the whole body eating thing would actually make sense too.)

Also if someone speaks German here, could you try to listen to the audio again and try to make something out of it please? Thank you!
