Lore Videos

There are some videos available on YouTube with lore information! Lore Playlist

Emails

If you wait long enough on one page, an e-mail may come through…

…But they’re also easily accessible by clicking “Hi, Cathal”

Images

Some images contain secrets! Maybe even something hidden where you can’t see…

meas.zip

31208112@‌uscr.ac.uk received a .zip file from cavanagh@‌uscr.ac.uk in the email (no subject)

1. Download and extract meas.zip
2. Run meas.exe
   • meas.exe is a very simple game where you play as Cathal. There are multiple objects you can interact with as you look around his room and the university. It’s an extremely simplified version.
3. Head to the lab and start studying by interacting with the notes on the desk.

There are two endings to meas.exe. The second ending requires an item be delivered to the appropriate office.

There is no functional password in this build.

SSP

31208112@‌uscr.ac.uk received a .nar file from cavanagh@‌uscr.ac.uk in the email Fw: Regarding Statuatory Sick Pay

How Was I Meant To Work This Out?

“Statuatory Sick Pay” has the same initials as “Sakura Script Player”, combined with the limited use of .nar and some keywords in the body of the e-mail!

It was a very obtuse hint.

1. Download the SSP Complete Install Package from https://ssp.shillest.net/
2. Extract the downloaded file and run SSP.exe.
3. Download CathalMeas.nar.
4. Once SSP has initialised, drag and drop CathalMeas.nar onto the SSP and confirm the installation.

Ghost

The SSP downloaded is typically known as an “Ukagaka”, with the specific character being a “Ghost”. CathalMeas.nar has installed a “Ghost” of the original Cathal Meas.

This ghost has variety of features! There is a readme.txt file bundled with the ghost, but his basic functions are randomly giving you prompts for self-care, as well as being a virtual assistant to help with reminding you of tasks and/or medication. He can also provide a pomodoro timer. These reminders can be accessed by double-clicking his chest.

Right-clicking will open the standard menu, which includes links to various parts of Cathal’s website - including a previously inaccessible page (The Drive).

A Vengeful Spirit

Randomly, a different ghost may appear when booting up the Ukagaka. This ghost does not provide the standard self-care reminders, but will provide random lore. All other functions remain.
