GUIDE

Though 8 people have solved with absolutely 0 hints, I decided that after Sadeathon was over, I’d release a guide with hints so the content is more easily accessible!

Level 1

The post-it note says the hint is Sade's Debut... Is there anywhere on this website that talks about the Debut? Alternatively, there is another way to solve this. Read carefully!

PROJECTS -> DEBUT -> Watch the timestamped video at 2:42

Level 2

Read the data log.

How is this new security level 0079-proof? Look carefully.

Level 2 Security's URL is different from the rest. What does that mean?

Level 3

0079 advises to ask Eito. Though he doesn't seem to respond...

Asking Eito will not yield a response. So maybe there's something else on that page. Look around!

If it doesn't work as a password, maybe there's a way to make it less gibberish.

Level 4

This puzzle was solved by another group already- profit off their hard work and use that QR code!

Maybe Googling might help.

If you translate the list how it's laid out, the answer should reveal itself to you. It should be a word!

Level 5

There's a lot of corruption but one file starts with a Y and the other starts with a T. Additionally there's some weird string of letters around.

Combine the two strings and then put it at the end of a YouTube URL.

The YT channel's @ can help

Secret

When you reach the end of the main puzzle, the URL can lead you into a direction. No more hints will be given! Though a couple of notes: this puzzle is not Linux friendly. One section will involve my Discord: https://www.discord.gg/ffSade
