Background
It’s an idle clicker made in Godot[godotengine.org] within one week[www.theregister.com] to stand as a hilarious memory of what might have been, if the entire games industry didn’t collectively explode in panicked revolt during the recent Unity pricing model back-and-forth.

If you like this guide, you can check a more detailed edition in my blog[blog.vinfall.com] that include hacks not allowed on Steam Community.
Meme
Note that I may not explain all of them and just add a KnowYourMeme hyperlink.

After the initialization, you would have a Reinstall.bat on desktop and annoying Clipbro who is definitely the bad old Clippy[knowyourmeme.com] in the early days of MS Office. Luckily this time it would indeed give useful hints about the game.

There is a dashboard you can hire various assistants (like Script Kiddie[knowyourmeme.com], Chatbot, MIT Drop Out, Crypto Bro[knowyourmeme.com] and 40Chan[knowyourmeme.com] Mob) to reinstall Chaos3D. The dashboard is titled Cloth Road, which implies the now-gone Silk Road marketplace[knowyourmeme.com] on Dark Web[knowyourmeme.com].

Of course there are far more hidden / unexplained memes for you to explore. Even those upgrades have unique names & descriptions.

Take click upgrades as an example:

Name
Description
Battier Files
More bats in more files.
Run as Admin
Plows right through DoorsOS security.
C++ bat files
all bat files operate “closer to the metal”.
CUDA Bat Files
Runs bat files in parallel. Either that, or it’s a fish.

Characters
Chaos3D Corp

A CEO with random buzzwords that can be used later to reply Gregory Peter (innovative, synergistic, disruptive). I love this email so just quoted it below:

引用自 author
ANOTHER MILESTONE CROSSED Another doubter demolished. Another space disrupted. A new wave of talent synergized. We can’t lose. We CAN’T ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOSE. I can’t tell you hou happy I am with our progress. Every day, I EXPLODE out of my bed and start making deals immediately.

Maybe it’s a great deal that transforms the space with disruption. Maybe it’s just a great deal on printer ink. Every moment is a win. Everyday is a victory.

Keep going champ. Together, we will change the world.

Chad Chadderson CEO Chaos3D Corp

Grandma

Grandma loves her dog so the password is its name. And when later devilish James Smith wants a victim who’s old and vulnerable, give him your grandma’s number. No need to hesitate and worry like me, cuz she turns out to be clever enough not buying gift cards for scammers! Now that you give away her phone number, you wouldn't mind betraying her another time. Relax, she would escape and even ditch that darn phone altogether.

Mikey Jacobson

Mikey Jacobson shares his network drive and warns me NOT to look at his file, which absolutely urges me to DO something inside Mega Secret Folder 2 inside Super Secret Folder 5 inside Secret Folder 3. In return, he creates more folders and subfolders, not knowing that I would find and delete his secret stuff with a single command. Security by obscurity[en.wikipedia.org] does not work, sadly.

Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker is a guy who loves collecting spyware, ransomware and all sorts of online ♥♥♥♥, and claims that it’s not my fault. Of course, PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard), but not him XD. Scatting all these in desktop, he wants you to connect via remote desktop and fix the problem, simply by deleting all those crap into recycle bin.

Later when Diamonds Hands ask you to share an IP address for EZ money, here his goes.

TypeOneError

TypeOneError is a bad programmer since he stares at this problem on www.l33tcode.com/hw (LeetCode, you know) for hours…

private void PrintHW() { string hw = "????? ?????"; Print(hw); }

You know, hello world!

When you solve this in 10 seconds, he replied with another piece of cake on www.l33tcode.com/fizz:

int n = 3; for (int i = 1; i <=n; i++){ string item == ""; if (i❓ 3 == 0) { item = "Fizz"; GD.print(item); } }

Although I have no experience in GDScript, just try out operators one by one, and % is the correct answer.

Accessible AI

This unlocks when you upgrade Virtual Assistant to certain levels, perhaps. Then Accessible AI (aka. OpenAI) would message you about an issue that reduces the operating sufficiency with workaround. Just run the command and Virtual Assistant becomes more sufficient.

Running `Webscape:www.not-reality-game-engine.com/admin` does not help. `webscape:www.not-reality-game-engine.com/admin` won't work either. Changing it now and then and it just fails to show the source code, so I stalled here.

As a nice return gift to share this walkthrough, comments pointed out that `Webscape:View Source` or `webscape:view source` work with the admin portal open.

So now you know the admin is as dumb as me to use `admin` as username and `root` as password, and forgets to change them later on.
Ending
Yes, you read that right. I did not expect nor realize it before I saw the community discussion. According to replies from the dev, there is an actual end game - but it requires 2 things:
  • One of them is getting into the centre of the million billion bucks circle.
  • And the second thing is unlocking the very last puzzle for the last contact.

On the Mikey Jacobson puzzles: the command "Find:xxx.zip" tells you exactly where the file is.

It's so dumb that you can't use "admin" and "root" unless you view the source. I tried that before pulling the source up and it didn't work.

Thanks for the hint! I think I would finish the game and possibly improve this guide later now. And just fixed a dumb typo about game name:Nepgear:

"webscape:view source" when you got the admin page open. Then enter "admin" as username and "root" as password, as denoted in the source.
