Manual

This is the hacking manual for the accomplice. These instructions are meant to be confusing.

Shutting down and getting past a given obstacle requires hacking

Hacking Instructions (If your name is not A. Complice, do not read this. It could get you sent to prison.)

You may only have a limited time for hacking, so relate these with your partner quickly.

Start by holding “control” unless the following instructions say otherwise.

If the device was manufactured by “Seer” or “RegenPC,” start by holding "alt," unless the model year is 2042 or 2050, then you should start with “shift,” except when the model year is 2044 or 2051.

If the device was manufactured by Procyon, iCompy, or Saucebox, start by holding “shift.“

However, if the model year is 2044 or 2051, start with “alt.” Don’t follow these instructions if the model year is 2042 or 2050.

If GH Systems, WavSys, or Mirrorsoft manufactured the device, you can continue with the instructions, but only if the model year is 2040 or 2048. Otherwise start with “alt” for 2042/2050, or “shift” for 2044/2051.

The 2052 models function similarly to the 2048 models, and should have the same starting key.

Most OS’s will have “tab” as the second held key.

Mirrorsoft and Saucer OS have similar systems, and their 2.0 and 2.5 versions instead have the user press “escape.” That is just like QuasarOS9 in its 1.0, 2.1, and 3.0 versions. gOS versions 1.5 and 2.3 also uses “escape.”

The “~” key is used about as frequently as “escape.” gOS uses it the most; it is the key for the 1.0, 2.1, and 3.0 versions. QuasarOS9 only uses it for the 2.0 and 2.5 versions. Saucer and Mirrorsoft have had some copyright issues with each other, as they use the same key as each other in the same versions. Their versions 1.5 and 2.3 each require this key to be pressed.

The third key held will be based on the previous two keys held. Under ideal conditions, that key will be “P.”

Equally as likely is the “Z” key, if shift is held instead of control.

If already holding “alt” and “tab,” also hold “G.”

If holding “escape,” hold “N” if holding “shift”, or hold “C” if holding “control.” Otherwise, hold “F.”

If holding “~,” also hold “W.” This does not work if also holding “control” or “alt,” so hold “B” instead if holding “control,” or “Q” if holding “alt.”

Hitting an incorrect key at any time may set off alarms.
