Reports say it still works.

You can get by playing:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1250870/Cyrano_Story/

You need to complete the game to get a key.

Store page says it's random chance, but in reality it's giving to everyone.

Edit: Now 5% chance, per https://steamcommunity.com/app/1250870/discussions/0/4540134453707466640/#c4540134453707673597

The steam keys for the people who were early and had server problems are now available :)

Early Bird - Steam Key
You can now claim your free steam key if you were part of the early players affected by the downtime. To see if you are eligible, a steam gift box will appear at the bottom right of your screen on the main menu. (A little over 4 000 players are eligible)

WARNING: You cannot claim more than 1 free copy of a game. If you already won Black Watchmen Season 1 for example, you cannot claim it a 2nd time. You can claim the DLC or another game.

While I think I'm eligible, I don't see what's described in the menu, for me. Anybody have an image of it?

Main menu after staring Cyrano Story, little box in bottom right corner, just above version number (V1.0.12).
The box grows and shrinks and fades in and out.

Does this mean it's possible to win multiple games by playing the game several times? :o

Nope. During the MoM giveaway, they also ended up giving away some other games and that just states if someone won one of those games during that giveaway, they can't claim it now.

My question is... Are these keys region restricted.

Doesn't seem to be working here. The gift box just shows the key I won for MoM. No option to pick another game.

Is the giveaway completely over? I mean the game says that the giveaway is "over for the weekend". Will it come back later or is it just weird wording?

Wish I'd had an option to switch games! I got Black Watchmen, which I own and enjoy. Well, had the chance to try to woo a friend over into the Secret World of Alice + Smith, so it's all good.

Hey there! Thank you so much for your interest in the game. I am on discord if you need me. I ran into a problem where if someone has won two free games already, the system will not work when trying to claim a third free game. If you encounter the issues, reach me out directly via discord.gg/arg / user Anashel. This extra free game was related to the downtime. More info here:https://steamcommunity.com/app/1250870/discussions/1/4540134453707698900/

Hi,
For lack of winning Moon of Madness, see another game, I had a strange experience with your little game.
I hope that Moon of Madness will one day be available on GOG.com.
Thanks

The Black Watchmen season 1 key. It's a puzzle game, so it's a puzzle format.

F(1001001)M0-08(filmbox file format)-VehVehOrDonDon.
Please note that Veh is not equal to C. It could have, but it isn't. It's definitely not equal to V.

If you got it, please say it <3

Very indeed, that letter in this strange alphabet can be translated by two letters. Hence why I wrote "Please note that Veh is not equal to C. It could have, but it isn't. It's definitely not equal to V."
This alphabet is part of a puzzle in Cyrano Story. The... 4th one ? You get a very cool audio file with it too, after you beat the 3rd one (I think) if you click on the document below, when the woman talks.
For the curious, it was the Enochian alphabet.

The same, thank you for that ! I don't do whitelist giveaways, but that's still nice to give and get blue hearts <3

to be honest I rushed big part of cyrano story because I guessed (correctly) they will run out of keys in no time.
I plan to replay it in these days. trying to do all the analysis

and if you want to laugh, with the last part of your puzzle I ended in some docs of a neutrino experiment.

anyway, if you like puzzle games, I remembered an old one. It is in spanish (my native tongue) but nothing a translator cannot fix: http://www.tercerojo.net/

Ah, I played a very similar puzzle like 10 or 15 years ago. I won't be able to remember the name though.
Okay I'm 29 but I feel already old : I struggled at the level 2 to read the message, min/maxing the brightness, colors and stuff hardly helped. Got it in the end, blinding myself in the process.

if you open the image in a editor and adjust brightness and contrast can see the phrase; teveo.htm (translated "te veo" "i see you")
simply replace the last part of the URL (level2.htm) with that

most puzzles can be solved using similar logic beyond the language.

this game is mostly based in external references and tools

Yep. We are flooding that topic like there is no tomorrow. Sorry people !

yeah. maybe we need to create a discussion in puzzles/offtopic, or just add me on steam if you want.

but anyway, here are some hints:

  • there is a guitar
  • in the source code are some numbers: V.12 II.1......
  • maybe it is related to the freatboard?
  • NOTE: the solution is in lowercase. uppercase doesn't work.
  • maybe string and fret position?
  • something like I.3 = G?

I think it was called "Missing", I recall it also had a sequel (you are looking for a kidnapped person if I recall correctly), you would also receive mails from within the game.

Found it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Memoriam_(video_game)

I think I actually have the CDs for this or the sequel somewhere in my games closet, I doubt it would still work as intended though (unless the mail server was local?)

The game I played long ago was something very close to the one in Spanish linked by Mikitos (http://www.tercerojo.net/). A little game on Internet that asks you to click on some parts of the image or to change the URL with more or less hidden clues. An "amateur" game, not requiring CDs or any kind of purchase.
I guess there was many games like those in the end, Internet was still young at that time, asking to use Google to search for clues was probably on trend at that time.

I took a look at your games, Missing and In Memoriam. They look neat ! A proto The Black Watchmen, Ahnayro, Cyrano Story for sure.
Sad thing that this kind of games has to be such a niche genre.

It's pretty "simple" actually. But if you followed the short guide on Steam, for sure you'll be lost, because it only lists the final answer for each puzzle. You then bypass all of the prior steps, because indeed, each puzzle has several steps.

For the first puzzle for instance, you have three runes at the beginning. Click on them to get three pictures. You have to find with the use of Internet, your knowledge, your brain, what's the common link between these three pictures, and write it. If you find the right keyword, you'll go to the second step of the puzzle, with new clues, documents, pictures, and with those new information, you have to find a new keyword. Find it, and you beat the first puzzle. No way to find sleep (answer from the Steam guide) for the first puzzle with only the first three clues.

For the first puzzle, the answers are below.
The first three clues are a moon/asteroid/whatever, a statue, a text. With the help of Internet and the data on the pictures, you'll find that the statue is Aphrodite/Venus and the text given is an extract of a book, and if you find the whole passage on Internet, it's about Zeus talking to Ares/Mars. Alright.
What about that moon/asteroid ? Maybe you know that the planets and some moons of our solar system are named after gods. Could it be a moon named after a god, and maybe related to Aphrodite and Ares ? Maybe, let's ask to Wikipedia.
These two have indeed some children together. (Eros ?), Harmonia, Deimos, Phobos for instance. Let's Google it : "Harmonia moon", nothing good. "Deimos moon", meh. "Phobos moon", oh, the same image that the one given as a clue. It's then Phobos moon !

And boom, we can guess the answer of the first step : Phobos, the common link between these three clues : Phobos the moon, Phobos the son of Aphrodite, Phobos the son of Ares.

And then, you'll get a new document and the big voice asks a question. The answer is on this document. Puzzle 1 on 6, done. Same process for the 5 next ones, the common link to find. It can be tricky for sure.

Ahnayro from the same team does the same kind of puzzles if you like Cyrano Story.
