The people have spoken and I will not be doing a puzzle for this, so take it while you can: httρs://store.steampowered.com/account/ackgift/964R2E8VILH80974

Edit: The puzzle has been canceled. Check the Giveaway section.

Solution


The fake link redirected to http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/5oQT2jIL/WBgtefuT, but the real puzzle was hidden in the post: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/U1LZvo67/ouGawmdJ The copies were in the image description, accessible by removing the ".jpg" from the image URL.

Giveaway


Please post the number of the copy that you took (also post if you had any problems with a copy). Also do NOT click on the links unless you want the game, or they will become unusable and will have to be regenerated.

And... the puzzle that you think you solved is not actually the real puzzle. Nobody has found the real puzzle yet.

Plus... after you solve the real puzzle, you will need to do a little trick with the result. I used that same trick on my first puzzle.

took the third one (kept getting error messages for the first 2), thanks! :D
And I can donate the extra copy, if you tell me how :/

Really? Oh, then it probably needs the ?email at the end, that I removed. What you do is: you send the gift to yourself (through email) and you should get the activation code, but now I don't know if the gift is only redeemable to that email, in which case the best thing to do is to add the person and send the gift. I'll wait for the next solver to contact me so that I can figure out how it works.

Would you be willing to do some quick testing? It won't be added to your account, you can just refuse it. I just needed to know how the activation code works.

Mmm strange. They worked for me yesterday (I clicked and then refused them)

That's probably why they didn't work for nellyneko, once you click on them they become unusable and you have to generate a new one.

That's strange, it should have worked yesterday then. Oh well, if you want to donate your copy just send it to revilheart@outlook.com or send it to yourself and give me the activation code through Steam.

maybe it was just my Steam then - got the same error message for both though (don't remember what it was, but it wasn't the generic "Steam Community unavailable" thing)

Oh no! I opened Steam now and the gift is still there - I'll decline, but you may have to generate another link, sorry :(

and e-mailing you my copy now, so you'll have to edit the link-page anyway ;)

I wish we could do this for all the games that were free at some point and can't be won here anymore ^^

Yeah, that would be nice. I would love to do more puzzles for other free games. ^^

It would be nice if one of the solvers who wants the game checked if copy 4 is working. It's most likely that copy 1 isn't working for now so I'll have to generate a new link for it.

For those who can't find the real puzzle... a keyboard shortcut might help.

Not a single one of the 15 solvers on the real puzzle want the game? Or you just can't find the links? :O

hm, my copy is still in my inventory, but not sent anymore - I guess someone clicked on it and declined? Should I send it again or should we wait for someone to complain here about the links not working? ^^

Mine is showing Sent to <persona>ID</persona> You can send another one if you want. I'll keep it safe for now, just like I'm doing with copy 2. If nobody comes here until the end of today, I think I'll cancel the puzzle and just post the links publicly, what do you think?

sent it again :)
too bad about the puzzle, but it seems like either a lot of people gave up really early or just didn' want the game anyway. Feel free to post the links then :)

I clicked on the copy 1, unfortunately I have to refuse it. In the gift window it writes it's available to play this game only in countries of South America, not my country. (Although in the steam store there isn't any information).

I am really sorry for causing problems.

It's a pity :(

That's really strange... did you try copy 4?

I tried it after your response, but copy 4 is already taken by someone else.

It's strange, I have never seen this country restriction for playing before. (Only for sending gift).

Copy 5 was added. If you're quick, you can take it.
