By submitting the credentials provided by The Sludge into Pipers website, users would then get to engage with a different kind of interface which seems to represent a digital version of Piper’s HQ.
Like sos.exposed, it would take the help of the community as a whole to help figure out different stages of the game in order to progress.
Since Pipers' website is down of course in current time, I will provide two backup link for those who'd wish to play!
** (OFFICIAL) Internet Archive game backup // Mega Drive backup **
Below are some screenshots that others had shared to give you an idea of what this looked like, just please keep in mind that these are in no specific order, and were literally just plucked straight from other people in the discord server.
Here [link] is the first message regarding the discussion of the game in the discord.
As you’d progress through the game and obtain the credentials of higher-level employees, you'd be granted more information about Piper. Here is the official documentation that would be uncovered. These provide a lot of introspection on how Piper operates internally:
- [Piper Employee Guidelines] - An outline of what is expected of Piper employees, their views, and their mission.
- [Tomorrow is a New Day] - A company-wide update
Through some more puzzle-solving, Brad Crums’ login information would be found, who is Orno’s nephew. Turns out his password was uploaded to Soulseek, a pirating software.. Lol.
This would reveal additional logs only restricted to upper employees:
- [Experimentation logs #001-#006] - Self explanatory title. These are 6 logs that document Piper testing the P7 or certain frequencies on dogs.
But there was even more to be revealed. Progressing even further through the game further would get you to a sort of level that portrayed the layout of a Machine Girl concert.
Interacting with subjects marked with "D" would display lyrics from different songs as well. Here's a text file of all lyrics you could get when interacting with them: [X]
Finally though, by solving the puzzles in relation to the backstage level (which primarily took place separately within this thread,) a PDF was uncovered:
** [TRUTH.PDF] **
This document practically confirms all suspicions and fears related to Piper, and is an important read as it outlines the true intentions which Piper is a cover for.
Pictured below is the final cryptic message that would be displayed before the game would close. Personally, even after multiple backlogs of the ARG, I do not know exactly who this is could be.
