Unreadable message land A world 3?
This message displays no text when I look at it. Is it supposed to be like that? I tried verifying local files, but it's still blank. It isn't even covered with ivy like that one in C.

And it's not the only one. Yes, use your phone, they all are real QR codes.

So it is supposed to be like that. Thank you.

They're not unreadable. They're real QR codes. Use a QR code scanner app on your phone. This one says
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED 31 39 36 39 2f 30 37 2f 32 30 20 32 30 3a 31 38 [hex code, translates to 1969/07/20 20:18] Now is the time of tranquility, and I shall rest and observe the Earth

If you read that code with your own cell phone QR reader, it will reveal a date: 07-20.
Coincidentally, you are standing in the middle of a circle with numbered pillars around it.

I wonder what would happen if you activated pillars 20 and 7... :-)

Hexadecimal code of characters in ASCII table.

It's really bad design for every QR code to be automatically translated except the one guarding a star (and the easter egg one later on). Pretty much my only complaint about the game. It's needlessly inconsistent just to guarantee more hits for people's walkthroughs, because I don't expect to have to use a mobile phone or alt-tab to read a QR code when the game translates them for me normally. When I played the game for the first time a long time ago I spent four hours scouring the level for clues to the puzzle and found nothing, because there's nothing to find. You either have a smartphone handy or take a screenshot and alt-tab to a QR reader or you're screwed.
Rant over.

(Continues rant) I had to download a QR code app to my phone (which I did begrudgingly), and then it just gives me a bunch of numbers which is apparently a Hex Code but how was I supposed to know that if I thought to scan the code myself? I don't know if the game will explain these Hex Codes later, but I'm going to pretend I didn't see this info & hope that it does. If not, I'll be annoyed.
