thanks! i hope folks have fun & don't get too frustrated with this (i may have gone a liiiiitttllleeee overboard with how hard i made the clues )

Even when working with some others it seems very little progress was made today . Worked out what the ‘first clue’ says ‘YOU ARE LOOKING @ IT’ (still trying to figure out exactly what that means, or at least I am). Someone found out about a zip file that seems to be for later. And I've began theorising the next step is an account because of the use of ‘@’ rather than ‘at’ but it could genuinely just be the result of me thinking too hard and going insane /

Hopefully some more stuff is figured out by the time I've wake up tomorrow and can be more useful lmao

(I was also incredibly scared of writing the first clue even tho this is a forum for discussions/spoilers and stuff haha)

I tried to post here yesterday but the server was being iffy.
Anyway, I haven’t made it past the vigenere cipher either, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to be seeing lol
I also think it could be an account because of the @ though

Guys, I think I found the next hint!

I was wondering about the “account” idea you guys suggested, so I typed in @TheDaScratchiCode as a username, and I found an account that joined a week ago: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/TheDaScratchiCode/

It has this project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1381938273/ called “02 scenic”

Judging by the titling, it's safe to say this should be the next clue, but I'm not sure what it could be entrail…

Ooooo that makes sense! I think I was overthinking a little. Thanks so much @97Scratch!

I was so close, I typed in @DaScratchiCode without the “the” and didn’t think to try “the”.

There’s an audio file in it that’s reversed that says “did you ever learn Venn Diagrams in school?” And it’s titled “compare”

The backdrop is titled “vista”

Venn Diagrams are used to compared two things’ similarities and differences, so let’s make one.

SCENIC:
6 letters
Adjective

SIMILARITIES
Can be used to describe a beautiful view of nature

VISTA:
5 letters
Noun


I’m just saying ideas here btw I’m kinda stumped still

Here's 2 other things to mention:

1. Vista is also the name of a city in California.
2. Scenic and Vista share the letters i and s (is), with scenic having c-e-n exclusive and vista hacing v-a-t exclusive.

I'm stumped to, but if we put our heads together, we'll figure out this clue

(Also your welcome, looking forward to solving this arg!)

Yessss I knew you guys could do itttt!!!!!
Still can't give any hints but i'm totally rooting for you

wait guys im kinda dumb

there are hidden letters in the picture that I wasnt seeing on my ipad

Omigosh, your RIGHT! I brightened up the image and I'm circling the letters rn. There's also a 360 there…

I unscrambled the letters, it says PANORAMIC, and there's also a 360, which I assume to be an angle

Okay since you've found the letters without it, I'll just tell you that the Venn diagrams reference was meant to be a hint to play with the image contrast. But I guess you guys just have eagle eyesight or something 0.0

also the name vista doesn't really mean anything i just thought it sounded cool, this has nothing to do with real world locations and please don't try to locate this image because it's of my home town XD

Im not sure how venn diagrams would hint to do that but doesn't matter, we got 3 hints now:

1. Scenic
2. Vista
3. Panaromic

All of which refer to a landscape image. And the number 360. …how do they connect?

Yo guys
what does ID of weekend mean?

We have progressed to 04 singalong, after finding out the ID of weekend is an old scratch project ID, we were able to find the next account (https://scratch.mit.edu/users/Kitten3301), with the project. It has a song no one knows the origin of haha, looking for anything in the lyrics that could be helpful.

WOW! You guys got farther than I thought you would have by now! Great teamwork!

Hmm… I think the song is the unidentified song “CIA”.
Just imagine this is why we were trying to solve the clues.

My interpretation of the lyrics: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1385404830/

WAIT! I just thought of a hypothesis. What if the lyrics are a red herring, and we were trying to find a playable version of the original Amnesya without the support of Flash? After all, “CIA” (or so this song is called) is a lostwave song, and the description of the first project that kicked off this mission tells us that the project was inspired by “An online game I found called Amnesya that doesn't work anymore (it needed Flash ;-”

What’s the first hint?!?!?!?!?
