Hey!
After the prologue, here we are again.
I think I'm overdoing a bit with the story, but once I started writing I couldn’t really stop and I didn’t want to cut it short. Puzzle and story for Chapter 2 are ready too, but I’ll wait for the next HC or maybe for Spring Cleaning sales before posting them. I also have the puzzle for ch.3, but I have yet to write down the story I have in mind for it. Then it’s all dark. Just a rough idea for an epilogue but no idea how to get there 😅
Anyway…

Here you have chapter 1.
Puzzle-wise, all you need are the two pictures and what's written in the ITH questions' boxes.
The solution of part 1 is relevant for part 2.
In part 2 I want you to complete the answer. Google will greatly help you with that, once you make sense of what’s in the picture.
You can start HERE.

I’ll try to keep hints to a minimum this time.
I’ll post the solution at the end.
GAs:
After part 1: Blazing Beaks, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, Dungeons 3, Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, Yoku's Island Express, Yooka-Laylee
After part 2: Outer Wilds (yeah again).
I may add one more GA at the end of part 2 depending on what’s on sale during Golden Week.


An unrelated note:
just for Outer Wilds, I’d like the GA to go to someone who really wants to play the game. If you’re just hunting for a +1 on your account for any reason (totally casual example: you played it already via Steam family sharing and now you just want to own it), I’d ask you not to join. I can’t really impose my demand on you, but I trust you can be honest with yourself, please.

Yeah, I'm not picking up on the clues, either. I'm probably just misinterpreting something, but I don't have any more time to spin my wheels. Guess I'll just look at the solution when it's over.

Totally ignored the 1st thread you made but took notice of the one mentioning if its the wrong thing to do.
I'll give you a bump and good luck to everyone. I don't do puzzles but I like reading the little stories or just seeing if I can find 1 question that is so easy you would have to go out of your way to get wrong

Uuuuh, I suck so much at puzzles ... any chance you can hint at how many digits we're looking for in the first part?
I mean, there's actually only one clue, but I tried everything that would come to mind, and I just got no idea what else to try now.

9 digits.
There are actually two clues there:

  1. You always forget it, so you had the brilliant idea to mark it closeby.
  2. You take comfort in the fact that the average seeing person wouldn't understand it, while a blind person wouldn't see it.
