Thank u.

And yes, this will be pretty time consuming (like all the others). :)
Ok I think this one is quite easier and more straight forward than my previous ones.

Nah, I have no idea what it's about. But on the other hand I'm kinda retard enough so I can't be a representative sample.

Found a hint.|ョΘ・) 
But...local incident...
Since the time is bad, I will try again later when I have free time.

For reasons that cannot be stated, will decide that it is impossible to continue and will stop resolving this Puzzle.┐(´Θ`)┌
The "reason" is given to the puzzle author.

Perhaps the author gave me a supplement related to "local issues".
But I don't have time, so I'll wait for more challengers .XD

Bump for solved! (I'm getting my "solved" bump in early because I am not overly optimistic that I'll be able to solve the rest of the puzzles lol. I got the first one though!)

Thanks for the puzzle Lon3r; these are always fun to try and solve =D

I got stuck on the playlist for a while, bur once I used the correct phase with the hint everything became clear. I think that was the hardest part. Other than that it seemed OK, challenging, but not too hard

Bumping for finally giving this another go and actually managing to solve the first part. Onwards and upwards, plenty of time left.

Looks like I'm going to have to give it a break and come back later. Are the contents of the video necessary for solving the puzzle? It's not available in my country.

Can you see the video's title?
If it is the video after the hole, you can search for the title and find a mirror or scavenge for the needed info.

Solutions!

Sorry it’s so late, but here we are. Big congrats to refat17 who somehow managed to drag my lazy bum to finally write this, twice. I’ve been a bit busy the past couple of months so everything is delayed, including the typing contest. But anyway, I actually have written the intro already but my laptop decided to turn on me and give me its black face. When I managed to revive it back, boom! It didn’t explode but everything is gone, so I decided it would be a good idea to write in google docs instead of the sg comment section instead. Oh, the power of autosave! What would I do without you! Anyways, this long-ass intro is even longer than the previous one that I wrote, agrh!
What I wrote before my laptop died on me: It would be funny wouldn’t it if I forgot the solutions to my own puzzle. Haha. Fuck.

  1. If you only search …gragh……lau…gh……pu...ll…pull……gu…shi……ma……..here…la…ss? ….ww….Oww………the dream……Who……are......Agh…ah…Aaa…aAH!.....geh…?... Grblrrblbrr…rgh……SHICK……AaaAHhh……ha…ir?.......No….eye…look……days… …..th…….this is on google, the result will be a manga in the name of PTSD Radio Vol.2. (The manga is horror and it was Halloween back then so yeah, but that’s not the point.) The thing you need are the content pages. You can do this by going to Amazon and click the ‘Look inside’ button. This is what I meant by the For hint quiz. (You can use other sites to read the manga too ofc, because some regions, specifically Japan, do not let you peek inside the book.)
    The content page of the manga includes the ID number of each short story (chapters), its page number, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, the frequency of the radio wave for that story. For example, story 019 has a radio frequency of 42.17 and so on. Vol.2 only has 10 stories, so you need to go read other volumes to get all the combinations that the itstoohard quiz needs. Story 0XX has four combinations, write any of them will do the trick.

  2. The link to the next is in the caption of the photo (when you hover your cursor over the image)

  3. Next is also an itstoohard quiz about the song called “影の無いヒト” (translated to English is “shadowless human”). The translated lyrics I found is in the comments section of this video. I’m pretty sure you can find it somewhere else on the internet too. The answers to the question should then be straight forward.
    Who is the song referring to? - Shadowless human OR Shadowless person OR A person without a shadow
    Who ate the [redacted] of answer from question 1? - The bad guy OR bad guy OR bad man

  4. A link to the Youtube playlist shows the songs in the album called Joyful Jukebox Music. If you search that on google, maybe scroll down a bit, you will find this page. The Catalog no: M6- on the giveaway description matches with the Motown ‎– M6-865S1, so all you need is the part after M6- which is 865s1, and that is the link to the next cart.

  5. Low and behold, it’s another itstoohard quiz. I know, I ran out of ideas on this one, but then something came up, something else is also happening on Halloween. For this, you need to know where I live, which can be found right on my Steam profile page, the holy land of prost— I mean Thailand. (don’t take that joke seriously pls) Anyway, in 2020, Halloween was also Loi Krathong, and Loi Krathong was Halloween (I usually spell it as Loy Krathong but eh whatever, that’s what google said). Usually it’s not, just a coincidence that it is this year.
    Btw, some let’s go off rails a bit, because it is Loy Krathong, people usually wear traditional Thai clothes already, but it’s also Halloween so if you ever watched a Thai horror movie before… yeah. Scary shit. The receptionists at my condo wore the clothing and put white makeup/powder on with thick mascara and shit and oh shit was I scared and shocked. Oh, also they also decorated the common area of the condo! Yes, and do you know what they decorated the condo with? Fake dead bodies wrapped in a white blanket with red paint splattered on it, or at least I hope it’s fake and I hope it’s paint. I’ll attach a picture of it I don’t forget and if I can find it, pretty sure I took a photo of it.

  6. w ait, karma is yielding behind you.
    First letter is w
    Second is 8 because ait sound like it
    Third is k
    Fourth is y
    Fifth is b
    Note: w8 also means “wait” in this day and age where we’re too lazy to type a whole word with more than 8 letters, but oh well nvm. urban dict

  7. There’s a story/essay written on this giveaway with an image attached to it. Story:

    "YOU have REACHED the finale station, PLEASE stay aboard the train." you heard from a disembodied voice. You looked around and all you is darkness. "Wait where am I?" you asked yourself. Then you noticed you were gripping something inside your hands, you feel it, and you tired to make out what it is. You then accidently clicked something on the object you were holding; light came out of it, along with intense heat that burned your hand. It stings a bit. Then, the disembodied voice echoed again, saying "Enjoy your stay" with a sinister touch.

    When you hover your cursor over the image it will say this: 10 13 24 38 65. This is the position (including spaces) of the letter in the story that you will need. For example, the first letter is R, second is C, third is n, and so on.

OMG, it’s done! Took me just over an hour or two, it’s 1:40am now. The writing might not be clear, grammars might be all over the place, and you might not understand a thing I wrote, so apologies, I’m tired. Tomorrow will be my first day back to online school. How fun. How convenient. Shit, I should go to sleep now, I need to wake up at 7 tmr, and I’ve been waking up at 11 throughout the holiday. My life. Anyways, I did make a new year’s resolution that I would finally sleep earlier, and even wrote on the post-it note that “midnight is a no-no ok?”. Oh how that statement lived so long, like my other new year’s resolutions. Well, technically it’s not midnight, it’s 1am, so I guess it counts???? Yeah. My life. Also, I think I won’t be as active on sg as back then, so any unfinished business will be… well you’re probably going to nag me outside of sg, like email or Discord or smth. For the typing contest, yes I’m working on it, just hold on.

To finish off I would like to share some random songs here for absolutely no reason:
Arrival of the Birds (Extended)
Portal - "Still Alive"
Super Mario World Ending Theme sight-read by Tom Brier
half•alive - still feel.
half·alive - creature
Japanese:
ヨルシカ - 春泥棒 (Yorushika - Spring Theif)
KIRINJI - 時間がない (Jikanga Nai)
KIRINJI - Sweet Soul
For our Japanese alien: キリンジ - エイリアンズ (KIRINJI - Alien)

Thank you, good bye, for now.

And I forgot about the last wagon :facepalm:. Thanks Jake13Snake for pointing that out!

8.

"Congratulations." The voice announced, "you have successfully escaped the train, and what lies ahead of you is completely you humans' fault." As confused as you were, you walked to the gate, you see bodies piled up everywhere, and there you see a sign "Property of Ministry of this-is-the-end-of-the-puzzle-train", next to it is a gratify saying "turn back, this is a totalitarian state". Below it, written with what seems to be the blood of one of the body, is a text saying "The password is u5jnyvLT3a".
Bump

If you come back here, and use the hand-dandy inspect tool, you will find a link to a pastebin which is password locked. Use the password provided on the description of the ga and you will get a code. That code is encrypted by base64 (hinted by the title b64). Then select the option "File to download" instead of ASCII letters. You will then get a txt file which when open will say some gibberish and PNG. You need to change the file extension from .txt to .png, you will then see a picture which contains the five letter for the last giveaway.
