I think it’s unrealistic that every single corrupted eule in the facilities has some kind of knife

Where’s my girl using a a potato peeler or perhaps a ladle

[rotfront-cunt]

So I have been replaying the game and I got back to rotfront! But I was in this room and when I came into it from the right side there was a sniffer walking around.

When I came back in from the left the sniffer was gone??? I haven’t been back to the room yet but I wanted to share the ghost I saw lmao

Key Quest Supplemental

I also wanted to talk about something interesting I ran into while trying to decipher the number stations!

Note that this in no way has anything to do with the steps I'm taking to find the keys. It was just something that made it possible for me to continue my quest that I wanted to share because it fascinated me. In this post I'm talking about the machines that East-Germany used in real life to transmit number stations.

Everything in this post is sourced from this website: https://www.cryptomuseum.com/spy/owvl/32620/index.htm I wanna talk about this bad girl right here. This is the Gerät 32620 (Device 32620) a machine that has prerecorded words programed into it which you can then program a sequence of numbers or morse code out of. This specific model was actually used during the 1980s by the Ministry of State Security in East-Germany. Sending out messages to agents that were deciphered with one-time pads, which look them up theyre so complex I cant even imagine setting up codes for that and not wasting pages in the pad book. (I also really hope this isn't what I have to do to find some of the keys in the game LMAO) This site talks about the features of the iron lady and briefly the history of some of the, for lack of a better term, voice actresses for them. It also has actual dialogue recorded from them and it sounds like exactly the same voice as in the game which was really exciting for me! For my key quest this meant i was actually gonna be able to decipher the numbers now that I knew what each one sounded like. Previously I had a lot of trouble because i wasn't hearing what i thought was 2, 5, or 9. The numbers all had to be distinct from each other so they are slightly different from how you'd normally say them in speech.

And here's the savior for my transcribing attempts. Because there weren't just numbers in the things they were saying. Trennung had me going for awhile but once I understood it was a space everything clicked and I deciphered it within the hour. My key quest would not be possible without this website so it has my thanks. It also is just fascinating stuff to read for me!! I hope you enjoy it as well

Key Quest Update

Ok it has been awhile since I wrote down what has been happening with my key quest. As I state later in this post I'm giving myself a second strike

I have done both not much and quite a lot but the important thing is.. I finally have a lead. Before I get to that lead and my speculation on it, as always please no spoilers for getting these keys its been very fun to try and do this with as little help as possible and accidently spoiling myself a little for the second key was quite upsetting, i need a hint i will ask for one! Speaking of such, I've been talking with a friend about this quest and she wanted to help keep me from running around in circles so she gave me a hint: "the activity that will lead you to the keys is a hobby that Ariane may have had growing up" So I stumbled with this for a bit but then I decided to replay the final boss so I could reread the documents in the penrose after that, and I remembered this. (sorry for the terrible image)

So i decided to focus on the radio stations. My progress has been slow BUT I feel like I'm actually making progress for once. It took me a few afternoons but I was able to transcribe one of the audible radio stations that aren't transmitting the safe codes.

Here is what ive got for station 128.4 Some of the numbers I am unsure of and theres a reason for that (see next post). The other three stations remain un-transcribed as they are simply hard to hear. (This also makes me think they may not even matter, if this and one other station are the only ones that can really be understood, there may not be a reason to waste my time on them)

This brings me to my potential lead.

Two days ago I was watching someone play the game for the first time. Because she was reading everything out for chat i was reminded of this section of the mond&tochter safe manual. My current running theory is: What if this is what I have to do. To all of the safes I can open. There are 3 in my mind that you can access before making it to Rotfront, and there could even be more I'm not remembering. I'm going to decipher as many of the number stations as I can and look into the ones that could potentially fit as a safe code. Currently all the numbers read out on station 128.4 are either too short or too long. But I know that a certain ACHTUNG message reads them out in sets of 6. https://youtu.be/vq8Ny62379E?t=43 This is seemingly the source of the ACHTUNG message read out on the penrose before the crash. It is also read out on the profile screen of the game. So I'm going to transcribe it. Luckily for this one a good chunk of the numbers actually appear on screen in the game so I have less radio listening and game recording to do yay. And that is where I'm at in my key quest. The mensa key has to fit in here somewhere but im not entirely sure where. Maybe the 14 means the 14th string of numbers read out on one of the stations we'll see once I have things written down. If you've read this far you must be one of my friends lmao cause I cant imagine this is too inch resting, but thank you to both friends and followers alike!! it means a lot you'd care to hear my thoughts and speculations. Im also gonna be making a smaller post about the number readers i researched to figure this stuff out if u wanna see that.

[rotfront-cunt]

I am going to attempt to open the safe with three locks without looking up a guide.

My friend has told me this is likely gonna be an impossible task.

Which is probably true but damnit if I don’t wanna try lmao

[rotfront-cunt]

Alrighty I am going to use my silly little account to sort of document my attempts at finding these three keys.

I want to preface this by saying that everyone who sees this please be so cool about it and not tell me things I haven’t learned yet or give me hints I want to try this as without help online as possible.

(note) at the bottom of the readmore I have left a single thing I’d want any hints about. If u care please read the last two bullet points after my spiel. Thanks!

That being said here begins what I’ve currently done in this key quest.

I got through the opening sequence on the Penrose, as well as the entry level of the facility. I’m assuming and really hoping that there’s no key in these two areas. My biggest fear for this entire quest is that because these are so hard to find I am going to leave an area too early and in the first area where u really cannot do very much, I am scared that is the case. BUT! I am going to try and put that out of my mind and speak on the worker level of the facility.

I played the game standard style until I got the radio essentially because I couldn’t think of much of anything to do other than reading a lot of numbers on documents along the way. I found it interesting rereading documents it’s been a bit since I checked out like the various gestalt suspected of breaking laws and the interrogation logs.

This time around I have taken special note of the Mensa key.

Like I said it’s been awhile since I’ve been in the earlier parts of the game so my memory fails me as to if more keys have numbers and symbols scrawled on them. The key has a 14 on the front and a large X on the back.

After opening the butterfly box and picking up the plate of eternity I’ve taken down a few things from the memory of arianes quarters in rotfront sector 6. First off *that* song is playing quietly while u are in the apartment and that makes me feel things now lol.

Anyways I immediately checked all the radio frequencies. In the rotfront memory the only two not giving off static were the weather channel and the frequency for opening the door to leave the memory. While weather didn’t exactly seem important I took it down anyways along with the string of numbers that opens said door.

After leaving the memory I immediately saved and turned on the radio once more.

While the radio is populated with the various frequencies needed to open the safes on this and later floors I took note of two other frequencies. I didn’t write them down because I was dumb but I can find them again.

These two frequencies both held very distorted messages, seemingly number stations as well. One station read out an achtung before stating it’s numbers. It was heavily staticy but it didn’t sound like the same numbers as the Penrose achtung message that started it all. I’m hoping to go around the floor and perhaps on later floors and seeing if I can get either of these stations a bit less distorted depending on what room I’m in if not I will try to transpose the numbers anyways. I decided to stop for now because despite how much I love this game for some reason I can’t play it for long periods of time :(

Final notes mostly to myself.

- I think it is important from this point on to have my phone camera out for every cutscene, or begin recording my sessions, in case something comes up that I’d like to look at. I regretted not getting to see the infographic on isa when she is first introduced

- I started this quest on a new profile entirely and I’m worried that that may be the wrong thing to do. The problem with not knowing anything is I don’t know if I need to have completed the game or not in order to find these keys.

*This is the one hint I would ask from someone*

I don’t want to try and go through the game this thoroughly again just because I had a false start.

- along these same lines I really hope survival difficulty isn’t part of it. I tried the game on the hardest settings and a single swipe from a eule took Elster down to red health. I am not *that* good at video games lmao. So if the keys must be found on a specific setting this would also be information I’m willing to accept from folks.

This concludes rotcunts broadcast on her terrible key quest. If you’ve read this far ur a real one <3

Somebody fucking drop me in nowhere without a flashlight!!!!

I haven’t posted any art in ages!! Years even!!

I have a lot in the works tho like a lot a lot so that’s exciting! I may post some sketches just to have something to show

[rotfront-cunt]

I will have y’all know I am fuckin itching to make signalis drawings but I do not have the time rn. Once I am finished moving I am gonna sink all my creative juices into these gay robots.
