A straight walkthrough(all ref ID/code/password explained)

[valenrei]

For those who upload the vague(no commentary ) video walkthrough...

we were looking for answer of specific puzzle and will NOT watch the video thoroughly, I can't figure out how you solve the puzzle at the VERY moment, why not remind me when and where you found the answer??
Drag & click the progress bar is annoying, annoying!

I miss the old days where we had text walkthrough.

Guess have to do the job myself.

=====================

No spoiler, take it easy(or maybe there is?


1.wake up, waiting for phone charging till phone screen light-up(battery >5%)
2. read the sms message, remember the TIME in message, 11:53
3. find your key in aquarium(the note on desk will tell u this)
4. leave room
5. train takes 5 mins to company, remember this.
6. at company, watch the clock at the front desk, notice it looks like hex number(but in fact not, it is 60 system: 0-9 & A-Z & a-y， totally 60 characters）, this will be useful later.
7. enter the elevator at 11:53, meet the stranger, knowing there is 'GLITCH' in this world, get the first ref ID 13455354196
8. go up to 60th floor, read report D1, save report D2 from the mouth of file shredder before 11:53(you can't catch up with this in first circle),
9. get a web address from report D2, read the note at up-left desk and notice the 782=D2, combine these you will get an https://276089230.pages.dev/782, surf it by your chrome/firefox/edge...
10. now combine the the ref ID in the elevator(step 7), surf https://276089230.pages.dev/13455354196, knowing the way to 'read' the GLITCH: in game setting, set the brightness to 0%.
11. try reading glitch on report D1, get the server reboot sequence cc f3 3f 6c ff 19 6f c1 cc, this is NOT the same as front desk clock number system, but will be used later.
12. try reading glitch on report D2 , get the ref ID 11251909514, surf https://276089230.pages.dev/11251909514, now you know how to decode the server reboot sequence in step 11, answer is CABDFEGHC
13. return to 1st floor(lobby), try read the glitch at lobby, get 'Train 3, 11:59'
14. start a new day, killing time on your chair, leaving your room at 11:54(remember step 5 I mentioned the train take 5 mins?), sit on the coach #3, at 11:59 you will be still on the train and here comes the stranger again, get the password for you red computer: 1c 1f f9 13 16 19 1c 1f f3 93 99.(this is not a ref ID!!!)
15, you already known how to decode this at step 12, try it, answer is triquetra59
16, start a new day, go to company asap, up to 60th floor, login the computer by password you got at step15,
17, read the only available txt file on PC's desktop, get the ref ID 113954914091772734, surf it as usual, get the ADMIN ACCESS CODE: 4159, and taught how to use this code
18. take the elevator to 31th floor, this time press 314159, floor number will be shown as ??,press 'go' button
19. in server room, all the severs are numbering by up2down, left2right as ABCDEFGH. start the reboot sequence from the only red terminal(server C), thenA, thenB then...D F E G H, finally return to C. All clear. this sequence was learned at step 11
20. go to 60th floor, login the computer(if you forgot the password, read step 15, is triquetra59), run the exe file, stranger comes again, and the report D3 appear on the same desk.
21. read report D3, get ref ID 32242720, and a glitch
22. surf https://276089230.pages.dev/32242720, only '32 24 27 20 = 21 18 15 14', will be used later
23.now the glitch on report D3, just telling you one word 'clock', in which means we are heading back to step 6, solving the puzzle of relationship of number and time, the front desk clock. cut it short: 00-59 each individually represent 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRETUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy, e.g 24=O, 32=W
24. combine the info from step 22 & 23, the final answer is WORK=LIFE
25. start a new day or what so ever... save D2(step 8), reboot the server(step 19), login the PC and run the exe file, get D3 (step 20) and READ it, head to final room, reply the boss' question with answer you got at step 24.

~Fin~
the 4th wall is really fragile :)

Really helpful I was stuck at step 17. for the longest time

Uuuuuh man thanks a lot! But i don't actually get the coding system, that's why i'm here. How did you decode step 22,14,11. I've tried to find decoding programm but i failed. I just wanna know HOW YOU DID THIS! Like i love decoding some messages but this is really difficult to me.

from step 12, you get the web address https://276089230.pages.dev/11251909514
then the message on that web page

quick brown fox jumps
13 16 f9 cc 39 3f 1f 63 61 c9 ff 63 69 fc 16 c6 c3 f6

over the lazy dog
63 9c 19 1f 1c c1 19 36 f3 91 9f 6c 63 6f

0123456789
96 11 cf 33 31 93 66 f1 3c 99

in which means
q=13
u=16
i=f9
c=cc
k=39
b=3f
...

so this should solve the step 11 and 14

==================

from step 23, take a close look at the clock, you will find the clock is not showing just numbers but also alphabet. spend 1 minute to watch that clock, second goes from 00 to 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D....0Y 0Z 0a 0b 0c 0d...0x 0y, then jump back to 00

since a normal clock start from 00 to 59
so~
00=00
01=01
02=02
...
08=08
09=09
10=A
11=B
12=C
...
32=W
33=X
34=Y
35=Z
36=a(watch out the uppercase and lowercase here)
37=b
38=c
39=d
...
58=x
59=y

this should solve step 22

for '32 24 27 20 = 21 18 15 14‘
32=W
24=O
...I left the residual to u

thank you, more helpfull then video walkthrough

Can't beat game because I reject it's answer, such is the nature of life.

step 19 doesn't work, i put in the 4159 code into server c, and it does nothing. So i type in y and it puts me out of it and makes all the other servers red, so i go to those and press y on them in order, but when i finish, it makes a noise and the servers all go red again. When i went back to the computer in the same day, the exe file still did nothing. What did i do wrong?

i followed a video walkthrough to beat this game, and that showed me that the order you said the elevators have to be completed in is wrong. the order is ABCDFEGHC which was not stated in this guide. you did not even mention that C had to be completed after the rest of them, instead saying it had to be done first.

In this it says that the severs are ordered ABCDEFGH, and then explains that you start the sequence from server C (at that point the only one pink/red) then go on to do it in the order ABDFEGH before ending with C. You start and end with C, it just was typed out a different way, and was misinterpreted.
