Sigils in Games

Crypt of the Necrodancer

• Rire Makar – Brought attention to the sigil long before ARG was known

Mini Metro

• Joshrl/MachMatic – Found the sigil and noticed the similarity, uncovering the ARG; Nearly completed the solution for the piece
• Nint8835 & Six – Reversed engineered the code, seeing a node had to be connected twice. Nint8835 modded the game for it to always meet the required conditions and the piece was found. (Someone found out later that ghost lines did count and how you could find the piece legitimate).

Flickers

Clockwork Empires

• /u/BlueRider0 – Brought attention to the sigil
• Crauss & DukeBG – Theorized and then confirmed that the original .jpeg promo art and the .png it was replaced with differed only in the least significant bits (visualization)
• DukeBG – Discovered the correct steganography tool needed to decode the data: OpenStego
• /u/zarawesome – Pointed out the occurrence of the Phaistos Disc on the image
• EcstaticEggplant – Figured out the password for the steganography from the number of occurrences of pictograms in the Phaistos Disc; Discovered the piece
