This page contains information about the INFRA ARG, or alternate reality game, which consists of several extremely difficult codes embedded in INFRA and its game assets.
Commonly known as the '''Loiste ARG''', or the '''INFRA ARG''', is an Alternate Reality Game which consists of several interconnected, extremely difficult codes and puzzles, embedded inside [[INFRA]], [[Obenseuer]] and their game assets.


Zuntti is the game master of the ARG, and has responded to inquires about the puzzles before, as well as provided hints on the Loiste Community Discord.  
One of the developers, known under the nickname of Zuntti, is the game master of the ARG, and had responded in the past to many inquires about those puzzles and codes before or had provided hints and clues on the Loiste Community Discord.

This is an image of the breaker panels in the transformer room just outside the bunker blast doors. The filename of the image is backwards, not Finnish, and says  "first letters bunker computer" which gives a clue to read the first letter of each word on the [[bunker computer code]] word grid.

With the 10th Anniversary game update, a bottle of Stollandia Vodka has been added to the Mark's apartment in the [[Ending 2|Winds of Change]] ending, which upon consumption shows a teaser for the [[Whiprock DLC]] with new ARG content.

Over time, several codes have been posted by Oskutin and Zuntti on the Discord server, but it's not confirmed whether these have anything to do with the ARG or if they are just noise.

How to decode: Remove <code>-XB2</code>, remove spaces, and divide the resuling hex value by <code>0xB2</code>, then use the ASCII values of the resulting nybbles. The decoded string is <code>PUNAINENTU</code>.

*"Punainen tupa" is Finnish and means "red cottage".  
* One other possibility is that it's an incomplete version of "punainen turska" (red cod), as this is the solution to the binary code present in <code>sign_07_skin10.vtf</code>.
*This likely refers to the red cottage just before hammer valley dam.
**underneath its mailbox is a binary code (see entry 'Binary code under red mailbox' in the table above). 'red cottage' is likely a hint for finding this
