Mise En Abyme/Guide

This page is a guide for Mise En Abyme, the first chapter of There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension. It will contain guides on how to complete all of the puzzles.

## **"Title Screen"**

Upon starting the chapter, you will be presented with a red curtain. A drawstring will then dropdown. Pull it to move the curtain back, revealing a purple wall with a plate screwed into it. Tap on the plate a few times to get the attention of Game, who will make a title saying "There Is No Game!" and explain that this isn't a game. He will then ask the player to quit and at the very least not ask for a refund, since his Creator needs to eat and feed his family. Suddenly, the title will drop down a bit, probably because the right side is only held up by a string while the left side has a chain. The exclamation mark has dislodged slightly. Tap it and the period on the bottom repeatedly until it falls off the board.

Drag the horizontal line back and forth to bounce the period around the screen. The objective is akin to a brick breaker: bounce the period into the letters until they are knocked off the board too. Once every letter has been knocked off, Game will sarcastically congratulate you before replacing the letters you knocked off with metal ones. However, this is too much weight for the string, and it will nearly break. Keep tapping the letters, annoying Game, until eventually, he will allow you to play Roshambo. It is Rock, Paper, Scissors, but with cards. Game will choose first, then you will. He will always tape the choice that will beat you to his card, so it is impossible to beat him.

Choose Paper. When Game shows you his card, which will have Scissors taped on it, grab the scissors and use them to cut the string. The title will crash to the left side of the screen, scattering ones and zeroes everywhere, but he will activate a balloon that lifts it back into place. However, this will damage the message, so the title now says "Here Is Game". You will also have your first Item, the letter T from the title. The T is a Heavy Item, causing it to shake the screen when picked up and dropped. Do this and over to eventually dislodge a volume button from above the screen. Click on it to mute Game, but after a few seconds, he will send a mouse cursor to click on the button and unmute him. Grab the cursor before it can reach the button and drag it onto the balloon to pop it. The title will crash to the ground.

Game, now unmuted, will be very cross you destroyed the title again, and tell you to play Call of Duty if you want to break things. You will now be able to switch between three slides: the one you're on, the screen with the Draw Me a Pixel logo and the language selection screen. But first, notice how the end of the T looks flattened... like a screwdriver. Use it to unscrew each of the bolts holding the plate to the wall until it comes off, revealing a button for a real game! However, Game will block it off with a locked door before you can press it. First, click on the right side of the doormat saying "Not Welcome" below the door to fold it up, revealing a Key. However, it doesn't fit in the lock - the key you need is on Game's side. Go to the language selection screen, and notice that one of the locks on the chain holding the French flag up has a hole the same shape as the key. Insert it to unlock the flag. Go back to the door and slide it underneath the crack.

Next, drag the Mouse Cursor onto the lock. This will fail to pick the lock, and only knock the key out of Game's hand and onto the floor... where you slid the flag. When Game puts the key back in the lock, use the Mouse to knock it out again and quickly tap on the flag to slide it back out. If you do it fast enough, you will have the key and can unlock the door. Game will quickly replace it with a vault door with a busted lock, which he claims is impossible to open. If you tap on the handle on the side, you can slide out the mechanism to reveal it has two gears missing.

For the first gear, go to the screen with the Draw Me a Pixel logo. Click the right page to turn it, and keep doing this until the logo has become "Draw Me a Cog2. Use the T to unscrew it. For the second one, start switching screens as fast as you can, causing the game to begin glitching. Eventually, if you keep it up, you will saturate Game's RAM and be sent to an out of memory screen briefly. Quickly use the T to unscrew the cog next to the message. Now put both cogs in the mechanism, push it back in and turn the handle to open the vault door. Game will then quickly flip back and forth between screens until the game crashes again, then they will make a fake loading bar and pretend you managed to press the button. However, the fake progress bar will not be making any progress. Tilt the bar to the right to speed it up, but Game will keep snatching the bar and tilting it to the left to empty it again. After tilting it for the third time, Game will pretend to close the program.

## **Fake Operating System**

You will now find yourself in a fake operating system, titled Flying Squirrel OS. Game, pretending to be your conscience, will advise you to close your machine and not open the PROHIBITED folder. The PROHIBITED folder requires a key, which is held in the mouth of a squirrel in the middle of the screen, but they will only trade it for a nut. Open the Pictures folder and then open Image 01 for a hazelnut sapling, but it requires sunlight and water to grow. Not only do you not have water, but it is currently 2 AM according to the system and thus night-time. You will need the Clock to make it daytime, but it can only be accessed with the admin password.

First, go to the Music folder. You will have four tracks to choose from, which are The Nutcracker, Shake My Head, Relaxation and Elevator Love, the fourth being the default track. Click Shake My Head, a heavy metal track so loud it will shake the whole screen before the media player will eventually restart due to shaking too much. If you look in the Private folder, it will be blocked by a cover saying "EMPTY - Do Not Shake". Play Shake My Head while the Private folder is open to eventually knock the cover off. It will contain another folder, Super Private, which contains another, Ultra Private, then the Giga Private folder. The Giga Private folder will contain one last folder, 18+. Opening it will show three "inappropriate" pictures of three operating systems: Miss New York, Miss Paris and Miss Tokyo. Miss Tokyo will have a 3-digit code on her which is readable by turning the picture sideways. Note this number down.

When you close all of the folders, you will receive a call from "NotMe". Despite this being Game, you won't be able to hang up, so answer. He will angrily proclaim that the pictures you looked at were scandalous and threatens to call the police before stating that they are not his, just for a friend. Once he hangs up, "NotMe" will be added to your contacts list. Open sKite and tap on NotMe and look at his likes. Note his favourite number down. Next, go back to Pictures and open Image 02 for an image of a drawer. Use the buttons to turn the image upside down and then open it to make a can opener fall out. This is used to pry the lid off the Trash folder and access it. It contains two messages: one is titled "GOODBYE" and is from someone named GiGi. This message isn't useful but is important plot-wise. The second message is Password, which says how to solve the admin password. Enter these numbers in order:

1. The odd one out on the ID Card.
2. NotMe's favourite number.
3. Miss Tokyo's private number.

Open Pictures and go to Image 03, which shows the ID Card. Amidst the crowd of ones and zeroes is a different number. Note this down. Now open Clock and enter those numbers to gain access to the Clock.
