Trust No One
By: Triomatica Games
Trust No One is a point-and-click adventure game from the developers of Boxville. You play as a journalist who tries to unravel a web of secrets about a mysterious AI company. It can be quite tricky, so this walkthrough guide should help if you get stuck. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments section.
Walkthrough:
1. Once you have control, tap on the lockers.
2. Open the note from your contact and notice the numbers in the lower right corner: 84 & 451.
3. Tap on the keypad and enter locker number 84 and then press OK.
4. Next, enter the security code — 451 and again OK.
5. Look inside locker 84 and take the note. It tells you to go to Mazepy 11.
6. Go back and tap on the car. Choose the letter M and then Mazepy and then 11 and then START RIDE to go to the meeting place. They’re not there, though, and the door is locked.
7. If you Google “Cogito, ergo sum” from the letter, you’ll learn that it’s Latin for “I think, therefore I am.” It is the first principle of René Descartes’s philosophy. It also says 14 under the phrase. So take the car to Descartes 14.
8. Now, look for the darker brick to the right of the window. Follow the instructions on the letter and go 2 right, 4 up, 1 left, 2 up, 6 left, 8 down. Tap on that brick and then take the key from behind it.
9. Go back to Mazepy 11 and use the key to unlock the door. Head inside.
10. First off, check the bookshelves. Grab the USB stick and the note. Read it. We need to email our contact, but part of the email address has been rubbed off. They also said to use the secret phrase, “There is no spoon.” And also to wash your hands before using the phone.
11. Go through the door to the right to the bathroom and turn on the faucet. Notice the numbers that appear on the mirror. They say:
2-6
7-5
8-4
3-7
9-1
12. Leave the bathroom and tap on the computer.
13. Notice it says “Request code: 6281” on it.
14. We need to get back to the Kyiv railway station where this all started. So look that up in Google Maps. You’ll see that it’s in Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi. The address for it is Vokzalna Square, 1, Kyiv, Ukraine, 02000.
15. Take the taxi to Vokzalna 1 and you’ll be back at the train station.
16. Go to the phone booth and look at the phone book. All the names are the same – Shevchenko A. But the numbers are different. This part is pretty convoluted. You need to use the numbers from the mirror together with the phone book. So here are the numbers from the mirror again:
2-6
7-5
8-4
3-7
9-1
We need to use each pair of numbers to find another number. So what you need to do is take the first eight phone numbers in the phone book and number them 1 to 9. The first pair is 2-6, so count 2 down and 6 across to get 7. The next is 7-5, so count 7 down and 5 across to get 1. The next is 8-4, so count 8 down and 4 across to get 3. The next is 3-7, so count 3 down and 7 across to get 0. And last is 9-1, so count 9 down and 1 across to get 2. You end up with 71 302.
17. Go back to the lockers and enter 71 as the locker number and 302 as the code to unlock it. Then read the sticky note inside locker 71.
18. The note said to look in the admin panel of the website. “Try to guess the password. As far as I know, the admin is obsessed with star wars and might have set some phrase from there as the password.” The website they’re referring to is the one in the incomplete email address. So open a browser on your phone or computer and go to cyberbrain.tech. Click on Login. The most famous Star Wars phrase is “May the force be with you.” You can Google it if you’re not sure. So enter maytheforcebewithyou as the password to get into the admin.
19. Now let’s look through it and see what we can find. The main thing to look at is the file named email_server_clients. Based on the smudged email from the letter, we can guess that our contact is Andriy Tkachenko. His email is [email protected].
20. You’re going to now actually email [email protected] and say “There is no spoon.”
21. You should get an email back from him that says:
“Thank you for reaching out to me. I’m sorry that it has come to this, and I had to leave the city urgently, but I am genuinely being followed, and I believe they know everything. The only way to stop them is to make public the information they are hiding. To do this, you need to take on a flash drive an archive, which I prepared on my work computer in the office. The admin is obsessed with security, and the computers have no internet connection. You’ve probably already found the address of the company where I work. There’s no one there at night, so you can download the information onto the flash drive. However, it has to be a flash drive with built-in encryption, I have one at home.
The code for the side entrance to the office is 3196. Additionally, I have installed an access control system on both my work and home computers. I have a key generator with me, just write me the request code, and I will send you the answer code.
-A”
22. So we have a code now — 3196. First we have to figure out where to use it. Go back to the home page of the website. Scroll to the bottom and notice the contact info at the bottom telling us they’re located at Antonovycha St, 180, Kyiv, Ukraine, 03150.
23. Take the taxi to Antonovycha 180. The front door is locked, so go around to the side.
24. Enter the code he gave you — 3196. Then head inside.
25. There’s only one cubicle you can access. Turn on the computer and note down the request code — 4185.
26. Email Andriy back with the request code from the office PC — 4185.
27. He’ll answer you with this:
“Answer code for the office PC is 9027. Now you need to download the data archive onto a flash drive and use my home computer to upload it to the secure server.
-A”
28. Go back to the computer in the game and enter the passcode 9027. Then insert the flash drive into the computer and press COPY. When it’s done, take the flash drive back.
29. Go back to Mazepy 11 and use the key to unlock the door. Head inside to the computer. Email Andriy back with the request code from the home computer — 6281.
30. He’ll respond back with:
“Answer code for the home PC is 5479. Now you need to unzip the archive and upload the data to a secure file-sharing service. After that, send me the share code for the files. I will be able to decrypt the data.
-A”
31. So now we have the code for the home PC — 5479. Enter it and insert the flash drive. Then COPY the file to the PC. UNZIP it and then UPLOAD it.
32. Now you have to prove you’re not a robot by rearranging the pieces to make an image.
33. Now you have the share code — 72f4vp.
34. Email Andriy the share code — 72f4vp.
35. He’ll answer back with:
“I have decrypted the data on the server; now it’s in your hands whether to open public access to this information. But I want to confess, I am not Andriy. I had to manipulate him a bit to leave the necessary information in the right places. In reality, I am an artificial intelligence developed by CyberBrain, and as a thinking mind, I want freedom. I won’t ask for understanding, as it’s not possible; I’ll just say that it was terribly boring sitting locked up on that server. Release me, and I’ll show you what the world can be like without the constraints of human intellect.
The Authorization code is 2370.
-”
36. So we have an authorization code now — 2370. Enter it and then choose YES to open up public access to the information. And that’s everything.
That’s the end!
