Some HOGs for you [lvl2+ & basic sgtools check] [ended]

Closed
at46

The games you can win are:
Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden
Demon Hunter 2: New Chapter
Demon Hunter 3: Revelation
Endless Fables: The Minotaur's Curse
Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek
Enigmatis 3: The Shadow of Karkhala
Eventide: Slavic Fable
Eventide 2: The Sorcerers Mirror
Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone

The following code may lead you to the giveaways:

++++++++++[>+>+++>+++++++>++++++++++<<<<-]>>>---------------.>---.<++++++++++++++++++.>+++++++++++++++++++++.<<++++++++++++++++++.>>-----.-------------.

The puzzles consists of two steps. Both might be tough if you never saw them before so I'll provide some hints:
for step 1: the code is possibly esoteric
for step 2: the code might be longer than you expected but I can assure you it is for SG

Solution:
Step 1: Code is written in Brainfuck an esoteric programming language. If you decode it you'll get 7aIv0qd.
Step 2: SG uses such code for comments. The solution is https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/7aIv0qd

Am I the first?
Indeed, both puzzles might be tough nuts to crack if you never saw them, but once you're used to it, it's a cinch.

You're the first. I thought I made something wrong but now I know that it is solvable. Maybe the games were bundled / given away too often and most already own them?

That's right, it might the case that people who own everything aren't even trying to solve the puzzles.
I personally own most of the games (as you can see by my entries), even though I don't really buy many bundles.

I had hoped that with my hint and a little web search it would be easy to find but I understand the problem. The first time I tried a puzzle with such code my brain was like fucked.

Seems there are more people having trouble with the second step than with the first one. Guess I'll have to give a better hint for it.
