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.
This page collects information about 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.

=== Body Code Related ===
*Triage - not clear whether it's a code at all
*Irrelevant - not a code
*Unsolved - obviously some sort of code, but no starting point on how to decode it
*Solved - the code itself is solved
*Unclear - some of the code is solved, but there might be more to solve


*[[Body message]]
==Additional Clues==
*[[Letter box ]]
*[[Bunker computer code]]
*[[Wasteland notes]]
 
=== Unconfirmed Relation to Body Code ===
 
* [[Office monitor code]]
* [[Central projector morse]]
* [[Elo hideout symbols]]
* [[Reactor lights code]]
* [[Wasteland radio morse]]
* [[Villa paintings]]
* [[Villa woodboxes]]
 
== Additional Clues ==
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>.

* Oskutin said in Loiste Discord server that we should not waste time trying to solve this.

* "Punainen tupa" is Finnish and means "red cottage". There exists an instagram account @punainentu: https://www.instagram.com/punainentu/.
*"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 cotttage' is likely a hint for finding this
