You can narrow down the date exactly, but i can't be bothered to test every format so doesn't really help

Hint is here :) https://txt.fyi/-/20336/e86ca3bf/

I thought I was clever in thinking the code to the filing cabinet would be a birthdate in MMDD format, but I never got it. "5928" made me think the code might be 5280, the number of feet in a mile, but to no avail.

Frustrated, I just entered 0000!

How one interacts with the game? I see the drawn room but clicking anything there (folder, basket, cup, etc.) does nothing at all...

Which browser are you using? We had some problems with Firefox displaying SVG graphics a little differently but it appeared to be working now. You should be able to click many of the objects (e.g. the cup) to zoom in.

Firefox (different versions, up to 78.4) here too, having to click on the drawn objects multiple times to make it react.

How can you narrow down the date exactly? The vacation is one week long so the date could be any working day, couldn’t it?

Well, apparently she has 2 kids? Ryan and Daniel (mug reveals "Daniel" with a crudely drawn baby). Then if you look at the calendar you can see Daniel was born June 12 and Ryan was born December 5, but beyond that I can't figure out a year.

Username is "anne.kingston" but I've tried all the following passwords to no avail:

- June12

- june12

- 612

- December5

- december5

- 125

There's a hint in the desk drawer (you need to zoom in even further to see it) that is a reminder to change the passcode.

Similar to a TODO comment... it just never got done.

Thank you for your reply. How would I be able to read the calendar? Is there a minimum resolution to play this game?

I had to make another account because my other one is too new and got blocked for posting too fast \o/ The calendar should be clickable and it should then be readable. But I've just tested and there seems to be a glitch that makes it hard to click. Try to click on the black lines! I'll fix this soon as possible.

Thanks, that’s super helpful! And sorry you had to jump through hoops regarding your account.

Hi, I'm the maintainer and put together the code for this first working prototype of the digital version of the game. Thanks already for your feedback! I will gladly provide hints here if you get stuck :) Many thanks also to atum47, whose FOS, Fake Operating System I've used for the game. You can find it here: https://github.com/victorqribeiro/fos We have developed the game at the University of Applied Sciences and A…

Solved it, was fun. But how would a personal account set up a direct debit?

Thanks, that made sense. It never occurred to me that there are two kids involved and that the calendar is clickable.

Is it really a reminder to change the drawer passcode, or rather a password hint for the computer in case Anne ever forgets?

Swiss people don’t use American date order.
