So. We reach the final chapter. This last day finally comes to an end.
You can start HERE

You get two identification puzzles (I couldn’t think of anything better. I’m always mentally exhausted lately) and one last puzzle, at the end, after solving ch.6, after the epilogue.

In order to solve the last puzzle you need some elements that are spread throughout the story or puzzles of previous chapters (from prologue, to epilogue), but mind that you do NOT necessarily need them all. Actually just one is enough, if you have the right idea.
There’s a hint that points you at that specific idea.
The puzzle has also a text that can help you find those elements, you should look for it. Some are easier to spot than others.
I won’t give further hints for this last puzzle, unless everyone is stuck. I will help with the identification ones instead.

I will post the solution at the end.

GA’s:

  • After the 1st puzzle: Shadows: Awakening, JumpJet T-Rex, Caveblazers
  • After the 2nd puzzle: Prodeus, Observation + train with a totally random number of carts: FRAMED collection, Fort Triumph, Swag And Sorcery, Heaven’s Vault, Atomicrops, West of Dead, Neon Abyss
  • After the last puzzle: Death’s Door, It Takes Two, New World

Play the unbundled games, please.

Btw thanks to everyone who wasted their time reading walls of text and solving my puzzles. Even if nothing is perfect or totally original, I had fun writing the story and building the puzzles. I hope you enjoyed them a bit too. Cheers ;)

HINTS

  • Puzzle 1 (Chapter 6 - Part 1):
    Q1 Relatively recent game (2016). Brought to SG community's attention by a fairly recent event posted in the puzzle/event section of the forum. The game has a single, very very challenging, achievement.
  • Puzzle 2 (Chapter 6 - Part 3):
    Q3 Part of a renown sci-fi videogame series.
    Q6 If you zoom in you can read the name of an area in the game. Featured in HC a few months ago.
    Q7 Part of a renown sci-fi videogame series.
    Q8 Narrative adventure, walking simulator. Featured in HB a few years ago.
  • Last Puzzle
    I'd search for the text of the puzzle first.

Fun puzzle, but I'd welcome a hint to question 6 in second identification phase. It looks quite familiar (and a bit generic at the same time) but I really can't place it :d

Oh man I just found out about this threads with puzzles, wish I had noticed before. I am trying the very last puzzle but nothing that comes to my mind seem to be correct after some guesses.
I am going to solve the puzzles from the beginning this week (currently figuring out part 2 of chapter 1) and see if I can find any of those "elements"
Great threads and great puzzles Dog! :)

Can't wait to see how it all will end. At the moment stuck on Q3 and Q7 of the second round. But since I just hunt for the story + riddles and not the games I can take my time on this one ;)

Q3 and Q7 are part of renowned sci-fi series.
Q8 is probably less known, it's a narrative adventure, walking simulator, featured in HB a few years ago.

As a general hint, the answers are in alphabetical order.

Same in Puzzle 2 i stucked. i know already its sci-fiction. I tried all series that game but its still wrong. It allows ": or - " symbols maybe cuz of that. So it will be hard. Thanks for chance btw.

Which question is giving you problems?
With the sole exception of Q1 of Puzzle 2 which has ":" in it, all the other titles have only letters and numbers, no symbols.

Hello, first of all, thank you so much for the fun puzzle - sadly I missed the previous chapters!

If I understood correctly, they might help me with the puzzles? I'm stuck at Q1 mostly - older games are my bane ^_^; so I wanted to ask how I could read them? :o

Assuming you're talking about Q1 of the 1st one, that's actually a relatively recent game (2016). A fairly recent event posted here in this very puzzle/event section of the forum brought it to the general attention of this community. The game has a single, very very challenging, achievement.

Btw, you don't need previous chapters for the identification puzzles. You just need to identify the games from the screenshots, that's all there is to it.
You might need the previous chapters only if you want to solve the very last puzzle, after the epilogue.

Hello, my question was regarding Q1 for chapter 6 as I hadn't found your old puzzles at the time:>

To be clear, the hint you mentioned is for Q1 of chapter 1? I am also on ch1 now after noticing KoRayven (below)'s reply enlightening me of where to find the past chapters.

But a hint for Q1 for chapter 6 would be nice aswell if you could give any :x

My hint was for Q1 of the 1st part of chapter 6.
I've added the hints given so far in the OP to make things more clear.

I repeat though, you do NOT need the previous chapters in order to solve the two puzzles of chapter 6.
You might need them just for the last puzzle, which is AFTER chapter 6, just after the Epilogue.

Go to DogOnSG's profile, go to the bar on the left and click on Discussions. This should send you to all the threads Dog has made on these forums, past chapters included. Just a note though that the past chapters are only useful for the epilogue and not the rest.
