    So a little disclaimer, I've been away from this game for a while. Not for any real reason other than things got too busy on my end. I still check the forums occasionally, and I know there might be some assets for the mission missing due to.... I don't really know why but I know some of the intro videos aren't working anymore. I kept the original files so if you find yourself stuck on a mission because of this try pm'ing me, hopefully I'll be able to help

    That was fun. It took four hours and I had to skip working out to finish it but it was fun.

    I couldn't get the videos to load for three of the missions, but that might just be my glitchy Internet. Whatever they are, you don't seem to need them to finish, though.

    The original outline I had spanned four separate missions with their own intro videos. However, I soon learned that the format for the sandbox was only one mission, and had to combine them into one. This is part of the reason why there's so many parts. The missing videos are probably the intros for each subsection, you don't really need them as the mission instructions also cover the objective.

    Glad you enjoyed it.

    This part is a mission where there can be multiple answers.

    Hint1:
    As the instructions in the pdf say, you are looking for a military version of a german police helicopter. Just googling the phrase "german police helicopter" will lead you to a wikipedia page with a list of those currently in service

    Hint 2:
    This is where things can get a little tricky. You've also been told to only choose a variant that seats between 7 and 10 people. When I tested this with several people no one found one that wasn't an acceptable answer, but the possibility exists that one slipped through. It could also be that things have changed in the year since I wrote this. If you do find a variant but it doesn't seem to work, try pm'ing me to see if it's a spelling error or if I missed one.

    You might have the right answer, just not in a form that is accepted. If you have an answer you're sure of send it to me and I'll check it.

    Totally stucked on part 3.
    I researched Southbank Centre, MKUltra, white noise, speakers, bass17, Jesse Cooper, VR97, mind control, brain, manipulation and lots of other stuff. Tried a few hundreds options and now I feel like i am too much deep and missing something simple.
    The worst for me that I don't know what should I looking for. The answer is very wide. Mind control is looking as obvious and I understand that I should look around but man there are lots of stuff around that matches nicely, like drugs, experiments, special sounds and etc.
    Halpme...

    youre not supposed to look to deep into this. whats asked for is a very broad term...

    Can you give me a nudge?
    Knowing that answer is a wide term doesn't really help :(

    Upd: done.
    Damn I am not happy because it takes a lot of time for just bruteforcing the right word combination. Maybe I just unlucky but I tried
    *****-*****
    and
    ***** *****
    and that were the 1 word...

    @Sanner Normally I'm a bit more responsive to posts on this thread but today was a long day. I tried including various different terms relating to the general concept, though it's very likely I didn't get all the possible combinations. Sorry if you felt frustrated. Definitely let me know if you run into any more trouble later on, especially if you think you have the answer but it isn't working. There are some videos that no longer work, which basically functioned as the intros to each section. It's all redundant, the mission objective is clearly stated, though definitely let me know if you get confused.

    There may also be a few clue files that no longer work, basically because the host that I used to send the devs the files deletes the files after a certain period of time. I have a backup master file with all the assets, so I can send any missing clues via PM.

    I'm also completely and utterly stumped on part three.

    Following the other nudges in the thread, I've gotten as far as:
    Mind control. That's pretty clear, but I have no idea at all what the box actually wants. I've gone through a load of permutations on the idea, including any specifics I could find on mind controlling sounds, but nothing seems to fit. I'm going to need a properly big nudge here, I think :(

    Hint:

    This mission has several different avenues of success, of varying difficulty. "Mind controlling sounds" is close, but the answer is a specific kind of sound. Note: There are various names for the answer, and the box might not accept them all. General rule of thumb is that if it's the title of the wikipedia page, it should work. If you think you have the answer and it's still not working, let me know.

    Further, more direct hints:


    The final two emails contain no important clues, and are merely fluff. You may ignore them.

    The first email is one of the more important ones, it describes the target effects, but it also mentions research done by "more ethical scientists" at a certain location. This is a real life study, though an initial google search may not show the correct answer. The named location is actually a complex containing several sublocations, one of those combined with the right keywords should yield the study, and the focus of it. If you have a general idea of what's going on, it may be easier to narrow it down.

    The image shown in the second email is directly tied to the research, a reverse image search could yield the answer.

    Yep, was typing in the slightly wrong name for it, turns out. Sorted now.

    Edit: Got to the end of the mission once I was past that roadblock. Infuriating, but in a good way :) Nicely done!

    Can you tell me if I'm looking for ....

    the name of the science i.e. biochemistry or sonogenetics or the technology like SSSS?

    Hint:

    You are thinking too broadly. The answer is the specific thing being studying, what the researchers are using to elicit the effect. We want to know exactly what we are facing, after all, not just if the field is biology.

    I have tried more specific terms with no luck ...

    but is there a specific word for using sound for mind control that I am missing? The only thing I can find is the Silent Sound stuff.

    Also, is it one word? There was a post above the confused me saying it was xxxxx xxxxx

    Hint:

    "Silent Sound" is definitely an accurate description, but there is a specific term you are looking for. As I said before, if your answer is the title of the wiki page on the subject, it should be right. If it doesn't work, you probably have the wrong concept.

    It's important to note that irl there isn't a 'mind controlling sound' per se. The answer is a specific type, or range of sound that has been observed altering human emotions.

    The XXXXX XXXXX format does go to a right answer. The two words can also be combined together to XXXXXXXXXX, which would still be correct.
