 		MILO
New game from Studio Cypher: http://www.mildlyintelligent.com/

A fun little game with a puzzle trail linked in, slightly ARGy, but enough that I podsted this in the N&R thread.

I'm stuck at level 15 in the game, and in the happy auto pages in the meta game just now, so if anyone wants to help...

 		No lasers on this level - three areas, three bots you have to block with weights, two batteries, a couple boxes you push around. Only one entrance to the last area.

 		combine a spiderbot with a battery to get a powerbot... then plug them in

BTW. In the metagame I've managed to log into tick tock cleaning and solve the fred problems and log into happy automata as far as the security page. Now stuck

 		Happy to help.

Have you looked into the metagame yet? It's pretty good too.

Can't find the 7 letter palindrome...

 		Seven letter palindromes begining with R are (at least in my English english dictionary):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
REIFIER
REPAPER
REVIVER
ROTATOR

I haven't played the metagame yet, so I don't know where to enter these to check if any of them are right.

 		Yup tried those and also
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
RACECAR
but none seem to work. I'm pretty sure I'm at the right place to enter them, so must be doing something wrong

 		So, I have played the metagame now, and I haven't needed the palindrome, or seen anywhere to enter it. Where do you think you need it? Maybe I missed that place.

 		Nice find. Very fun! I love the increase in complexity of the main game. Reminds me a lot of oldschool puzzle games.

I wasn't quite sure how far you got in the meta puzzle from your post, so I spent way too much time on a full walkthrough.

Regarding the palindrome:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Weirdly enough, I never used the palindrome clue, and I saw a definite, unmistakable ending. It looks like some of the puzzles are optional, so it's entirely possible that I missed something (possibly from never emailing anyone on TTC). While the game proper definitely helped me to understand the story, I don't think I needed to use any clues from the notes in this puzzle trail, apart from the initial website advertisements.


Meta Puzzle Walkthrough:

Beginning:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Find http://www.ticktockcleaning.com/ from the game.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The clues when mouse-overing the robots give you the password to login to the site. Pay close attention to the format one on the right. Try asking The Lost Ring players for help if you're lost. Wink

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Solve the clues on the website to get the password au79ariadne. Entering that into the field to the left gives you a username/password for the Nevada section of http://www.happyautomata.com/index.html


Entry Forms:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Requires completing Processing puzzle. Fix the form and find the DNA sequence.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Input Bob's real last name and change the date to the proper format. The transmission code hints towards DNA code, which uses the letters GCAT. Guess combinations of those letters. The smiley faces will tell you when you have a character correct. You'll see the other characters' bios.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Garrison, 08/12/58, ATCGAT


Processing:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Solve the flash puzzle, which should be straightforward if you finished the game. You'll get a list of names and phobias.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You're trying to get the spider bot to the exit by placing the upgraded bots on the bottom.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Place mirror on first slot, rocket on third, any on third, then rocket on first. Click start.


Reprogramming:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The hacked page links to a new website.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Click on the Seven Silent Sentinels logo on the captcha to get http://www.sevensilentsentinels.com/HappyLock/

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It tells you to email their father, but by another name.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Elsewhere on the site would be in the root directory: http://www.sevensilentsentinels.com

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"We're the Seven Silent Sentinels, the children of Terminus."

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Another name for Terminus is Jupiter. Email jupiterSPLATsevensilentsentinels.com and you'll get the code to undo the hack.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The code is: Walksborders, which allows you to see each member's trigger code.


Security:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You're looking for a last name, a phobia, and a trigger code.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You'll need to do all of the above to get the information.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Landerson, Ants, BetaFive


Records:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On this screen you'll get biocodes for the characters, a pulse code, and a passphrase entry.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Two different sites want this information

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Give the biocode for Fred to Tick Tock Cleaning, and the pulse code to Seven Silent Sentries to get the passphrase and more of the plot.


Security, continued:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This puzzle might take you close to an hour to solve, depending on your luck.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Read the guard patrol timings.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Figure out when there aren't any guards in cell block 4

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ring the bell between 40 and 45 minutes past the hour. Yes, your real clock time.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Enjoy the ending.

 		Wow, way complete! well done.

Yeah the step I missed was the SSS link to that page, I just searched and found the site. I should have thought of that password as well, but had it stuck in my head about the palindrome.

Also, just in case anyone doesn't think to try it, you can change the clock on your PC, you don't need to wait...

I'm not sure I fully understand whether MILO survives at the end Confused I wonder if the final text changes depending if you hae completed the game? and what was the point of mentioning the palindrome?

Still it was a fun little game, both aspects.
