Demon Hunter 3: Revelation
Endless Fables: The Minotaur's Curse
Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek
Enigmatis 3: The Shadow of Karkhala

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

Ah, finally solved both of them.

First time I have seen either of them though. Took me a whole hour to solve it.
Sadly I'm not lvl 2 yet.

I tried to make that clear with the title but maybe I should have mentioned it in the text also. There is more than a day left if you plan to get lvl2 in time.

No, I noticed it was lvl 2, but I still wanted to learn how to do these types of puzzles.

It is easy to oversee and like I said in the thread description it is a tricky part.
