I missed the lacuna giveaway and I am certainly regretting it lol. If anybody has an extra key from the giveaway and would like to donate me kindly DM. I would be more than grateful for your valuable help. Thank you.

Check your chat, ;-)

Thanks to argamasa I can play it right away!!! Yay!

To those that frequent the Ninja Thread,

I have removed the forum eligibility requirement from the last 4 Styx keys on the Community Giveaway. If you would like one, then ask and I shall send you one. Happy New Year folks!

Thanks

Under the section entitled "Daggered (†) Keys: "

Styx: Shards of Darkness

thanks, ive now found that.

was hoping it was the other one

Hello everyone!

Is there by any chance a fellow GOG user who has a left over spare key from the final giveaway of this Winter Sale?

Unfortunately, I missed the "South of the Circle" giveaway. It is right up my alley with its aesthetics and Cold War era.
(The other giveaways were not interesting enough to me.)

When I logged-in to GOG.COM yesterday, I went directly to the forum to read and respond to some threads, and I did not realized the corresponding giveaway occured.

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,
foxgog

[Update]: A friendly GOG user (Lazarus_03) already gave me his giveaway key. Thank you! (Just for information)

Hello foxgog, I am sorry about this, I don't have a spare key.
However, I suggest you to ask for it here: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_expiring_codes_clearinghouse_thread
Hopefully someone can help you! Best wishes!

Psst!

* whispers alarmingly *

Don't expose yourself in the wilds like that…
You'd be an easy prey for Lord Gab's assassins.

If you intend to survive this parts, you better read the Shinobi Manual:
8DD39-5E73D-PMPMP-MPMPM

Caveblazers (Gog key)

Edit: redeemed.

Hello Lazarus_03!

Thanks a lot my friend for your gift!
I like the way how you obfuscated the gift code - very creative. ;-)

Kind regards,
foxgog

What was the cypher, I did not want the game. I was curious about the puzzle.

Hello Shmacky-McNuts!

Don't worry, I already redeemed the given gift code successfully.
(@Lazarus_03: May I assume that you don't mind, if I explain it?)

First, my fellow GOG user gave half of the correct gift code here in the forum thread, and the second valid half in private message. The creative way includes how he indicated what the corrsponding part(s) are, and what not, in combination with a thematically independent flavor text in each individual message:

For obfuscation of the 'missing' part in the code he used a (maybe not so) obvious repetition:
(in the forum) valid-valid-PMPMP-MPMPM
(in chat/pm) NINJA-NINJA-valid-valid

And the following flavor texts / hints:
(in the forum)
"Don't expose yourself in the wilds like that…
You'd be an easy prey for Lord Gab's assassins.
If you intend to survive this parts, you better read the Shinobi Manual:"
(especially the '...read the Shinobi Manual' part)

(in chat/pm)
"Shinobi Manual #2:"

A simple but both effective and creative way to protect the actual key information.

Again, I really appreciate the kindness and care taken of Lazarus_03!

Kind regards,
foxgog

Thank you so much! argamasa! I redeemed!
