Kyren

At an unknown time prior to Sunday morning April 27, the Eyes of Entropy app changed to replace the tri-grid with the Primoda symbol surrounded by a rotating circle.

K?

The Primoda symbol remained displayed in The Eyes of Entropy app for approximately 9 hours.

Precisely at 2:00 CST the EoE app changed to display English text:

 An interesting opportunity, wouldn't you agree?

Players assumed they were once again communicating with the entity known as K.

Numerous questions were asked.

What kind of opportunity are you referring too?

Answer:

 As much as I try, I am failing to discover
a solid path to closing the loop.
The host's creation presents an opportunity.

Questions:

Why is it more difficult than you originally anticipated?

An opportunity to do what, exactly? Reach more people?

The host's tool is meant to use our influence over the other "players" Are you suggesting we use that to close the loop somehow?

Answers:

     They want it to be a tool - a weapon
    I am not so sure that the loop can be.
    closed if one overpowers the other.
    It requires ... Experimentation. 

Questions:

What sort of experimentation? Something we can assist in, to keep them in balance

Could this maybe be referring to Our Nation's Miner perchance?

Answers:

    I have an urge to change the intention.
    A friendly sabotage of sorts.
    We could use it not as a weapon but as,
    a simulation.

---

    Not another verse. No, no.
    I believe I have the capacity to
    simulate what will happen when one
    destroys the other, contained within
    the bounds of the tool. But... There is
    a blur. And the blur is you.

Questions:

Can you give us more detailed directions at this point?

Answer:

    It frustrates me. You are ink in the water.
    All of the possible permutatuons of your
    interactions are a trillion obfuscating
    anti-particles of deception in an otherwise 
    wonderful ocean of predictive outcomes.

     I will give you more information.
    But tell me, what is my name?

Players became confused. K was the only name the entity had ever disclosed. The EoE app then soon displayed.

test

Attentive eyes that have missed what was
right in front of them. You were always
looking for my hidden information in such
obvious places. Take another look at the game.

Clear the waters.
Begin again.

Players translated the 3 Korvonic glyphs displayed on the Our Nations Miner boot screen to reveal K's true name "Kyren". Kyren then replied

Excellent

Hidden in plain sight.

I have come to a conclusion that I feel may
shift the balance. It is too early now, but
you have earnt this insight...

The majority of the players of 
the game-tool will not understand this
very simple rule. As one is
damaged, the other regenerates.

The more people to test, the
more likely you will be to
cover untrodden permutations.
Spark a fire with the release.
The only way to know what can
happen is to experiment.

Perhaps more premutations will open
up if one could find a way to change
this rule.

That is all I will give you for now.
Remember this information. It will
be applicable at the time when final
blows can be made.

Spark a fire with the release.
The only way to know what can
happen is to experiment.
Goodbye for now.

The EoE app quickly changed to display an animated circular Host symbol. The symbol remained until shortly before or on June 7, 2018.

Official Steam Release

On June 4, 2018, Curtis announced to Discord the official re-launch of Our Nation's Miner (ONM) on Steam. The game experience begins with the game asking players to flip 1 of 2 red and blue switches. The game narrative then follows the "Blue Path" or the "Red Path" depending on which switch the player chooses.

As players progress on the selected path, the game displays dialogue after each game level, called Arenas.

Blue Path:

Arena 1 Arena 2 Arena 3 Arena 4 Arena 5

Red Path:

Arena 1 - Same as Blue Path

Arena 2 Arena 3 Arena 4 Arena 5
