    <Title> This game is unbeatable.

    <Author> 987**

    <Content>

    Honestly, I can’t believe this game sold 100 million copies.

    I admit the game itself is innovative. I have no complaints about the system where your environment, NPCs (though main NPCs remain the same), quests, items, and objectives change depending on your player background. In this respect, it goes beyond obsession to the point of feeling like some kind of madness. That part about never giving the same play experience twice.

    The problem was that this made creating a strategy guide impossible. Everyone’s situation, character, and quests are all different. I’ve even learned that the variables aren’t determined solely by player background and profession. It’s like they’re rolling random numbers, as has been discussed multiple times on this board.

    But now I know for sure. This isn’t simply about whether a strategy guide is possible or not. It’s unbeatable. I’m telling you, it CANNOT be beaten. This has nothing to do with having a challenging spirit. This game is literally garbage that absolutely cannot be cleared. We’re all being deceived.

    Here. Below. This is footage of my gameplay. Fine. I’ll admit it honestly. I “cracked” this game. There was a vulnerability in an emergency patch. (It’s been fixed now) The values I modified were automatic success for all dialogues, an immortal body, and the protagonist’s background. I initially started as a senator’s aide, but later added a setting that I was a priest of Dagon.

    For those who don’t want to watch the video, I’ll write a summary. First, even during gameplay, if your character settings change, the quests change accordingly. When I was just a senator, the quest was to retrieve the complete Latin translation of the Necronomicon from the Innsmouth Dagon underground chapel, but when I became a priest, a “Summon Dagon” condition was added.

    I had James Moriarty find the Necronomicon for me. Remember? I said I used an automatic speech check cheat. When I simply asked him to hand it over, he did. Summoning Dagon was the same. Since summoning is an act performed “verbally,” it was a ritual that couldn’t help but succeed. Honestly, isn’t this basically beating the game?

    The ritual site was even Devil’s Reef off the coast of Innsmouth. The Deep One forces escorted me on land, and Dagon was barely visible in the sea. Suddenly, hordes of Shoggoths on land turned hostile and charged at me, while aircraft and battleships opened fire from the sea. The most absurd thing was that Dagon got hit by those “aircraft and battleship bombardments” and fled.

    It was ridiculous.

    Do you know who brought the Shoggoth hordes? John Crayfield. The detective protagonist from the previous game. Yeah, that guy who turned out to be a Deep One in the previous game. Our forum admin “Sagan” released an ending supplement patch and then disappeared.

    But when I played this far, something felt strange.

    Any game should revolve around the player, right? Of course, there are low-power settings where the player is truly just a passerby who dies if hit by a stone. But it’s not about whether the player is strong or weak; the reason a player can be a player is because they can have an “influence” on the world. Right?

    But in this game, my sphere of influence felt too narrow. I don’t know if anyone else has tried it, but it feels exactly like playing the Dark Souls series. In that game, if you’re connected to the internet, you can invade other people’s single-player games. So you can either help or hinder that person. They call it being a “phantom.” Whether a phantom is friendly or hostile is distinguished by color.

    It felt exactly like becoming one of those phantoms, and it was a really bad feeling.

    So I looked at the log files. I couldn’t make sense of them. The log file structure records all actions—who did what and how. Of course, it’s not written out literally because that would crash the file, so it uses abbreviations, symbols, and compression.

    If I understood it, I’d be sitting here coding. Or I’d be captured like “Sagan” for real. By the way, when is that bastard “Sagan” coming back? Is he even alive? Was he really captured after drinking an opened beverage?… Anyway.

    Anyway! I opened the log files. There were some words I could recognize. My in-game character name. That’s my unique word, right? I figured out how my character “Klein” was converted, and I also discovered what name refers to the “player.” Of course, it’s not a meaningful character, just a code symbol.

    So I searched for that code symbol… and found out I wasn’t the only player?

    The detailed code numbers are in the video, but to explain it simply: The protagonist character “Klein” was set as player_2. Isn’t that funny? This game is supposed to be a “single-player game.” Not a cooperative game. So why player_2? Then is there a 1? So I looked for it.

    Surprisingly, there was a player_1. And you know what’s even funnier? The name is blank. Completely blank. This doesn’t make sense. Entering a player name is basic, and if you don’t enter a name, the system is supposed to force a name in. But player_1’s name is blank?

    The point of my argument is this:

    We’re just side characters. The real protagonist of this game is player_1, “Mr. Nameless.” We’re just wanderers passing by who can’t influence the game at all. We’re just destined to follow along and be defeated.

    Isn’t that strange? If we’re just side characters, who is really “playing the game”? If there really is a separate real player, that person is intervening in at least 100 million games, which doesn’t make any sense, does it?

    Of course, not all 100 million people actually play the game. Many buy it during special sales and set it aside to play later.

    From my perspective, this is just the drugstore guy being stubborn because he doesn’t want to pay but wants to play. This whole thing is a planned massive marketing scheme.

    It’s good for content creators too, right? Many are playing it these days. That Simephalcon guy was pretty terrible at it, but the good ones extract content well. They adjust the count appropriately and improvise as they go. There’s also the fun of keeping Crayfield around because what he says is funny. It’s all good. But

    Fuck, they should at least make the game beatable. Does it make sense to turn normal users into side characters and make it so only specific players can beat it?

    But damn… I’ve played the game too long to get a refund now.

    If there’s anyone who’s good at programming, try to crack this game’s code.

    114** > Anyone who knows even a little programming knows how much bullshit this is. You figured out a few variables but don’t know the rest? Either you know everything or nothing when it comes to file decryption. You partially cracked the file? Do you think program files are like wet paper envelopes that tear when they get wet?

    <Notice> Notification of Deletion of Provocative Post (Regarding <Title> This game is unbeatable. <Author> 987**)

    <Author> (Assistant Manager)22***

    <Content>

    I deleted 987**’s post because it had significant potential for issues. It’s not because it was low-level trolling as many people think, but because posting modified game code publicly isn’t exactly legal. It could cause problems.

    And fuck, you should be thankful I deleted it. I got an email from Gluttony Games. They said they’d sue 987** if I didn’t delete it immediately. I don’t want to get “Sagan-ed,” so I’ll maintain this policy going forward.

    But to prevent you all from boiling over again, I’ll tell you this: before deleting it, I emailed the drugstore guy. I asked for an explanation about this report. I’d like to hear an explanation about this too. Whether we’re really just side characters for the real player, or if it’s just our forced speculation.
