You know what? Forget the maybe.

There's definitely a puzzle in here. My first puzzle!

You have one week and, at least for the first days, I won't give hints.

Please don't spoil the fun for the others.

Have fun!

A few hints:

  • If you still don't know where to start, try going at the source of the problem.

  • A little poem:

Probably you managed to crack the sky
And now you're bathing in the starlight.
So, what to do now?
Thinking that It's Too Hard?
Everything you tried turned out to be wrong?
Be faithful, my friend.
In this short, little poem,
Now you will find your answer.

  • Don't stop changing.

  • Are you further along the road? Try to follow the path until you reach the end.

  • Stop staring at the road and walk in it.

SOLUTION:

  • There was a hidden link in the source of the page that brought you to a gif depicting the sky. The sky frame had a very long delay, and was hiding another frame with an 8-letter code.

  • That code, KntAnXey, was the ID of a Pastebin paste (see hint #2, the initials of every row). In the paste there was a series of binary chars.

  • With the text of the paste you had to do a series of translations: binary->hex->base64->hex->binary->plain text. The result was yet another imgur URL.

  • The image, depicting a road, was a png file. If you opened it with a text editor, at the very end, you'd have found a five letter code, the final reward, guiding you to the hidden giveaway.

Hope you had fun! See you next time!

Still stuck after the poem part (found the hint in it but after using, stuck). Hard puzzle, and very good.

I've reached the place from where it's impossible to go further. Thank you.

You won't believe me but after reaching the stars I ended up finding PORN in the secret behind the poem.

You made a puzzle for a game AND porn? That's giving right there

Didn't put any porn picture intentionally. Some attempts at solving the star part of the puzzle have lead to an unrelated picture. When the first one who found that contacted me on Steam I thought it was an unrepeatable coincidence, but now I've actually modified the puzzle so that won't happen again.

Well, guess it ends for me at the conversion as well. Had my way with the code for two hours, but nothing I tryed was fruitful. Got nothing apart from some random pics which I doubt are even related to puzzle. :( >.<

Have been. Must be something I haven't done before. Only been doing puzzles here about a month. Guess I'll just have to wait for the solution.

Please don't ask for the solutions. The hints are more than enough tolve everything.

If you're really stuck you can add me on Steam, I can at least tell you if you put yourself in a dead end.

Bumpity bump bump goes the wheels on the dirt road
Under the cloudy sky
My heart knows no bounds
Perpetually floating with no end in sight

The road is long and winding, as well as confusing. I fear I might get lost down this path, and never find the answers I seek.

EDIT: Yep, definitely lost. I've been wandering down the road for a half hour, and I can't see the solution.

EDIT2: Over an hour now. I'm sure the answer is right in front of me.

You shouldn't just stare at the road, you'll have to take it.

Aside from figuring out how to literally jump right in to a .png, I feel like I've taken the road there and back again.
