Resetting the game will reset your achievements on Steam. While many of you will not be bothered by that, however, some of you will be put in a uncomfortable situation between sites like astats.nl that kept the date of the first unlock and the date shown on Steam - which is my case. And if you do a second playthrough, the time between two unlocks will be short, that could lead some people to conclude that you cheated/used something (though the time isn't the same, which is a known specificity for unlocking softwares, unless the game is known to unlock achievements at the exit of the game like The Collider).

Be aware of that!

And no, this is not a bug, it is normal, confirmed by a developer - http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/378110/discussions/0/523898291490643047/

I'm using nearly all the shortcuts proposed by the game instead of typing everything:

• e = exit
  
• t = read the contents of a file
  
• m = access to mail
  
• s = show the contents of a mail
  
• w = launch the web browser on your computer

First, type help. It will give you a list of commands you can use. Do it each time your stuff is upgraded. We're going to find the file explaining a little our job.

• help
  
• ls
  
• t readme

Now, we're going to do some hacking. In order to start somewhere, we'll use atip so that we have the name of the person we'll start with.

• run
  
• atip // Alice is mentioned and described as not bright when it comes to password
  
• gate
  
• username: alice
  
• password: password
  
• ls
  
• t welcome // more explanations on the jump command
  
• jump alice
  
• password: password
  
• help
  
• m
  
• help
  
• ls
  
• s alex // nothing specific about Alex
  
• s cathy // Brian is mentionned, as his passion for baseball
  
• e (x2)

We're ready to hack into Brian's workstation.

• jump brian
  
• password: baseball
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s alice
  
• s cathy // mention of overnitedynamite.com and her love for them
  
• e
  
• w overnitedynamite.com // listen to the song to find cathy's password - the song main theme
  
• e (x2)

It's Cathy's turn to be hacked.

• jump cathy
  
• password: love
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s alice
  
• s brian // David, a coworker, seems to be in awe of Brian. Well, it means that the password is the same.
  
• e (x2)

Well, we're going to see what David is hiding.

• jump david
  
• password: baseball
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s brian // Irene is mentionned but for now, nothing can help us to hack into her workstation
  
• s newhires // the company site URL is in this draft
  
• e
  
• w reusingnature.com // go to the employement page to find Elise's password
  
• e

We're hacking Elise's workstation.

• jump elise
  
• password: hireme
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s frank // his password is his DOB (date of birth)
  
• s larry // nothing special about him... yet.
  
• e (x4)

Our employer contacted us, it's time to look his message

• m
  
• ls
  
• s hr // new routine concerning the HR database
  
• e

Well, time to consult the files of employees!

• run
  
• hr
  
• username: elise // as she's belonging to the HR department
  
• password: hireme
  
• help
  
• search
  
• frank // He's born the 11th November 1971
  
• e (x2)

Now, we can hack into Frank's workstation

• gate
  
• username: alice
  
• password: password
  
• jump frank
  
• password: 11111971
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s elise // we learn that sales reps don't have a login with their first name only, that Gayle, mentionned by Elise, has Ford as last name and that Frank resetted every password of this group, which is "may".
  
• e (x4)

Our employer is contacting you to add a new routine.

• m
  
• s sales
  
• e

Well, time to hack into Gayle's workstation!

• run
  
• reps
  
• username: gford
  
• password: may
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s gotonote // Hank has to log on gotonote.com with the passcode run4it
  
• e
  
• w gotonote.com // click on where do I enter my passcode - run4it - learn that Hank is called Hamm.
  
• e

We're going to find what Hank may be hiding.

• reps
  
• username: hhamm
  
• password: may
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s done
  
• s irene // a common family name in the anglo-saxon world is Smith
  
• e (x2)

Apparently, sales reps are kinda... flirty with each other. At least, we can hack into Irene's workstation

• reps
  
• username: ismith
  
• password: may
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s reply // a new sales rep makes his appearance: Julian Russo
  
• e (x2)

Well, who is this Julian Russo? We're going to discover that.

• reps
  
• username: jrusso
  
• password: may
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s irene // Ms. Piet is mentionned. The only sales rep we don't have a name yet is Kate.
  
• e (x2)

Ms. Piet must be Kate.

• reps
  
• username: kpiet
  
• password: may
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s kate
  
• s larry // Kate needs dirt on Alex Thomason and mentions one of Larry's favorite moments.
  
• e (x3)

Let's see what our employer want to add.

• m
  
• s admin // new routine
  
• e

Well, time to see what Larry can bring for us.

• run
  
• admin
  
• username: larry
  
• password: sex
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s alert
  
• e (x3)

Well, a new email?

• m
  
• s urgent // the game will close and lead you back to the main menu.

Launch the game again. Check your mail.

• m
  
• ls
  
• s playme // Marie, an ex-employee, directs you to gotonote.com with the passcode born2run
  
• e
  
• w gotonote.com // enter the passcode born2run - you learn about a new site, a backdoor routine, the govt command and an address (71.4462.232)
  
• w alienconspiracytheories.com // nothing really special

Okay, so now, we're investigating the govt command

• backdoor
  
• govt
  
• address: 71.4462.232 // logged as Nigel
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s olive // the address shown: 22.3201.556
  
• e (x2)

Maybe it's Olive's system?

• govt
  
• address: 22.3201.556
  
• m
  
• ls
  
• s larry
  
• s pete // new address: 93.482.3388

• m
  
• ls
  
• s nigel
  
• s sasha // apparently, there is a crash at 94.200.3331
  
• e (x2)

This is a database! Finally something different from mail or exit!

• address: 94.200.3331
  
• help
  
• help sql
  
• select * from master

We're going to see what's behind that new address.
