Television

The Television in People Playground is an object found in the Misc. section of the object menu. It is relatively heavy, breakable, and can be activated. When switched on, it will broadcast a video in grayscale with a Dutch commentary. This video can be found in YouTube titled "The highest chimney of Europe in Heerlen (Weeknummer 53-50) 🔴", that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDmBiCtrVDI. This video (not the Youtube one) was published in December 1, 1953 and its topic is the Oranje-Nassau 1 Mine in Heerlen. This mine operated between 1899 and 1947 (original video: https://openbeelden.nl/media/797997/De\_hoogste\_schoorsteen\_van\_Europa\_in\_Heerlen.en).

## Secrets

The Television holds the key to a few secrets within the game.

NOTE: This is dependent on the time of your computer, so needing to abide to a certain timezone for it to work is not required.

### 12:00AM - 3:00AM

When the Television is spawned in between 12 and 3 AM, there will be a noticeable change in its texture: The crimson button on the bottom right of it will have changed to a deep blue, as well as the TV seeming darker overall. When activated between these times, it will change to an eerie and disturbing broadcast that has been changed in itself across the games' updates.

Currently, it will flicker on and play a simple, static buzzing noise while displaying an encoded message.

### 5th December

Placing a TV on the Fifth December changes it's video to "Eet niet te veel peperkoekkoekjes", maar, JE KUNT ME NIET VERTELLEN WAT IK MOET DOEN!".

The video won't change even if the date has changed.

### The Tower

Placing a TV down on the lowest platform on the left side of the Tower, uncoincidentally the exact location you assemble the radio to cause The Faraday Malfunction, will cause a mysterious video to play once you activate it. It shows what appears to be the radius of a circle, labelled as *1*, with a faint brown line bordering it while a disturbing jingle plays over it.

The brown line holds significance as it hints at the circumference of the circle. It is 6.2831853071795, revealing the code you must enter into the keypad on The Abyss map to create the modulo2.jpg in the local game files.

### DEPRECATED - "IT IS DAWN"

"IT IS DAWN" is the former video that would be played during 12:00AM - 3:00AM. It consists of flashing red screens with "IT IS DAWN" and "WAKE UP" showing on it, snippets of videos that would later become the background images for the current screen as well as the very cipher that still displays, before ending with a discomforting poem originatong from William Shakespeare's Hamlet play:

*For in that sleep of death what dreams may come*

*When we have shuffled off this mortal coil.*

*Must give us pause: there's the respect*

*That makes calamity of so long life;*

A full video of the recording before it was replaced can be found here.

## Trivia

* The requirement of the clock on your computer being between 12 and 3 AM for the code easter egg to activate makes the Television the only object in the game that will change states depending on the state of your computer.
* "Eet niet te veel peperkoekkoekjes", maar, JE KUNT ME NIET VERTELLEN WAT IK MOET DOEN! " translates to "Don't eat too many gingerbread cookies, but, YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

The secret coded message in the midnight television (0:00pm - 3:00am) translates to "I SEE YOU"
