This page is about the projector in Central, in the control room.
When the VHS tape is inserted into the projector and turned on, this animated texture appears on the screen and a faint morse message plays in the background.
The video is of the shadow of a fan projected onto a concrete wall, and what may either be two written L characters, or two doors with light projected through them in the background.
Cracking the code
Note that the morse code is audible in game and the spectrogram is only used here to help decode, and not required to discover the code.
This is the raw morse, transcribed manually:
-.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. -. --- - ..-. .. -. -.. .-. .. --. .... - .- -. ... .-- . .-. --- .-. - .... . --.- ..- . ... - .. --- -. -... ..- - .. ..-. -.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. ..-. .. -. -.. .... .. -- -.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. .- ... -.- -- .- -.-- -... . .... . --. .. ...- . ... -.-- --- ..- - .... .. ... .--. .-.. .- -.-. . .. ... -.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. ... . . .- ....
Including long and short pauses (with short pause considered as simple spaces between words), the transcription is
YOU CAN NOT FIND RIGHT ANSWEROR RIGHT QUESTIONBUT IF YOU CAN FIND HIMYOU CAN ASK [long pause] MAYBE HE GIVES YOU [long pause] THIS PLACE ISYOU CAN SEE AH
Taking the missing spaces between words as line breaks, this becomes
YOU CAN NOT FIND RIGHT ANSWER OR RIGHT QUESTION BUT IF YOU CAN FIND HIM YOU CAN ASK [long pause] MAYBE HE GIVES YOU [long pause] THIS PLACE IS YOU CAN SEE AH
What does it mean?
This seems to link in with the "right answer, right question, right person" problem.
- Who is "him?"
- 🔑 Is it possibly used as an encryption key?
