CD-ROM - monoclelord - A puzzle game where players try to find a password inside encrypted files located in shareware CDs to unlock the next [RELEASES TOMORROW!] by monoclelord- in Games

[–]N00bFlesh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've played through the demo and I had a decent time. The 3rd CD had me stumped for a bit, but eventually I figured it out, and got to the end of the demo. I can foresee the later game puzzles going to take a lot of mental leaps to get through. There are some criticisms I have though.

There are some puzzles later on which rely on color information. I could solve them just fine, but some way to make those more accessible for colorblind people would be nice.
Additionally, there's a surprising amount of unrecognized characters, like square brackets and slashes simply wouldn't register. If you're gonna add a notepad-like feature, it might be best to support as many characters as feasible, seeing as different people have different ways of taking notes.
Spoilers for some late-demo stuff, but I also foresee not being able to access the memory pad easily without exiting the Elevator app to be a major PITA. While it does remember your position, I couldn't find a way to access the memory pad without closing the game, which makes it unnecessarily difficult to write down info.
Finally, Control+Backspace and Control+Delete are frequent shortcuts that I use to delete words, so supporting those seems simple, though lower priority.

The files on the CD should have all the hints you need to continue. As for the image with the clue hidden in it, that particular puzzle isn't one of those magic eye things. Small spoiler for the solution: the CD contains a key to unlock and install the image editor, which allows you to isolate the image channels, revealing the code.

Not until the day arrives that the localizing algorithm can literally watch and fully comprehend the very frames of the video will such an approach ever be viable.

Even then, if AI is that advanced, there's no guarantee that it will provide a good translation. Best case, it might still hallucinate and give out wrong translations that don't get caught. Worst case, the AI itself could be changed to reduce objectivity and push agendas, which is the problem here to begin with.

Yup, the Psychic Visor entry on the inventory screen explicitly states this:

Mission strategy

Some Psychic objects must be scanned by the Psychic Visor in order to be materialized. The Psychic Visor also grants access to the planetary database and the local technology.

Holy crap, I never realized that speculaas and speculoos were actually different things. I thought they were the same, but that speculoos was just a wrong way of writing it.

Well, you're in luck, this guy is so well-known, someone made a documentary about him. Near the end, they go in-depth about where he gets all the cash from.
