I guess most peoplw don't even try. It was almost trivial to get inside! :)

I'm curious if I skipped something or did as intented... Are you supposed to find the complete keypad number? (i.e. all 4 digits?)

I'm kind of disappointed it didn't respond to "brute force it" when I got to the keypad.

Cool idea. I'll add some parsing for that, but you might be the first to use "brute force" as a verb in the game.

Haha cool! I'm going to get inside that building eventually... Does it keep a log of all of the different things that people type in?

Yes, I keep a private log of all input in order to improve the game.

Nice!

Lots of people try, but the clue you find wasn't obvious enough. I fixed that and also made the keypad a lot more intuitive. But, no, the entire keypad code isn't shown.

The game begins after you enter the building. I think you're supposed to "activate Ian's memories" using a port in the control room.

I admit I had to open the github page to find clues :P Oops should I said it here?

That's fine, and I put the beginning of the game up as a coding example. And it of course tells you how to get the initial clue. But the rest of the game is all server-side, so you're on your own from there :)
