Mu Complex Reviews

Let me start by saying that the game is fun, and with enough internet kudos-fu, experience, you can still work out how to solve these problems by yourself given you have access to the internet (mailer.mucomplex.com), and can change system-critical settings (for TLS applications) like the machine's non-NTP clock time in order for the game to generate the right time-based code or allow access. The game is aging, and activity on the social media accounts has stopped since around May of 2023, meaning that for some solutions, you will need to look up guides because microfilm archival sites are paywalled and spammy or nonexistent, map websites are no longer easy to use functionally like drawing lines while keeping certain points of interest visible and in frame (good luck searching for specific map apps that can do this easily), the game continually generates new codes where postings of such ciphers has stopped, AI tools are not capable of correctly deciphering simple strings given most of the information, etc. Some things can be learned by using actual real world libraries, like the King James Bible whereas other versions do not use the right words, or understanding simple Caesar-based ciphers, or simple math representations, while other items are questionable, like Hex color values, ASCII identifiers for letters, map coordinates (some websites I tried failed to even enter the coords correctly), harp note sheets of given key, the base64 command on machines you have access to, and others. I could not figure out where the math sequences or some other solutions came from for the manager challenges, but that's probably my oversight as I want to progress rather than backtrack, tinker, and memorize details in documents. The bad stuff out of the way, I really enjoyed my time in this game so much that I created a game automation script guide and some detailed notes for other players to build off of. If there was an active community and further content, I could see coming back to it and doing more work, but it seems like it is in a happy archival state, since at least its still fully completable.

Super interesting concept that I haven't really encountered in many other places. You'll feel like a hacker! Also, some things require you to look up things online (not like a guide, but IMDB or other archived information). I found this to be a really cool and interesting feature despite others not seeming to enjoy it.
