Great job, Atropanocturna!

The password to shareoak is of course

Well the lyrics are from the Baz Luhrman song:

everybodys free to wear sunscreen

and it does look like a sun flashing at you

Beaut Atropanocturna. Hoped 'warning' was a straight prime nbr sub but cd not keep my eyes open & was afraid to steer others astray with a hasty comment.

Russell_k: if you ever have a sec will you DM me or post here how you isolated your 'spoilered' letters in the newsletter as I'm still unable to see the different font. THX

Sup0erb work all. I was out of it yesterday due to my grandfather's funeral, but I'm just catching up now. Out of interest has anyone got any recommendations for steganography programs? PySteg appears to not be working for me at the moment.

@armandel : I just pasted into word and scrolled through the text till I noticed an alteration in font. Nice and quick. What I wasn't sure was where you got the password attachment...

Today might be my last check in on this for a week as off to an island in belize which may or may not have an internet connection so good luck if I'm out of action .

One thought on the text adventure which we haven't solved is to create a map of the layout of it. I have a feeling it will be in the shape of something...

OK so here's the map. It lists each "room" as a number. Refer to the text below to read the text that appears in each room. The entries for 2a, 5a, 11a and 15a are the text which appears upon reentering the room. I think it randomly selects one of the phrases every time to enter a room you've previously visited.

I think.some of the numbers are mixed up in your little image towards the end but very useful to see it all laid out. I think it also interesting that the programme is called speak to me especially when there are so many questions in the text.

Map kinda looks like a cotton reel or Roman numerals II.

Out of interest at location ten, although it is just lyrics have you tried ignoring the directions and heading north or south?

What a cool idea for a puzzle! Sadly I cannot get it to work on my mac. So keep posting and I'll try to help however I can.

this game is confusing, maybe you have to follow a very specific set of direcctions or be at every location at least once but whithout repeating any of them or any backtracking?

i tried to deviate from the instructions a lot of times, but no response whatsoever

I have moved a bit the red moon image, but nothing interesting seemed to appear

So, I don't know if I'm on the right track or not with the puzzle, but I decided to follow my gut and already sent it off. I'm going to spoiler my thought process just in case it does work.

Thinking along similar lines to Cherry, the question "Do you value your instrument?" seems pertinent to Maria. Perhaps there's something special about her piano?
