Promotional

Leading up to the release of *I Expect You To Die 3*, the developers hid webpages - usually in the form of QR codes and links - in the game's trailers which, when accessed, included documents that contained additional lore about the characters and the story as a whole. These webpages that the QR codes and links led to displayed a message with a hyperlink to a separate page that included the documents. Around when the trailers were first released, these documents were originally password protected, and players had to figure out the password to the documents based off a riddle hidden in the message left on the original webpage; the need to put in a password has since been removed.

## **redallover**

The first set of documents that was released, called "redallover," was accessible through a QR code shown in the announcement trailer released in late February, 2023, specifically at 0:25. The message displayed upon scanning the QR code is as follows:

> "Greetings, Agent! Well done. You found my message! Can’t say I’m too surprised. Nothing gets past you. I’m sure you’re wondering why you’re here. As you know, the Zoraxis Organization is in a bit of disarray after all things… Juniper. On the bright side, the world has finally seen the truth of Zoraxis’s evil intentions. This is a game changer. I’ve been monitoring for any recent Zoraxis activity and have pulled a number of mentions about known Zoraxis operatives so we can keep tabs on them. Also, thank me later, but I’ve had all of these translated to English if they weren’t already; for your convenience, of course. You’ll find these documents compiled safely here. Pass any word: along where there are developments, you hear? No space(s) like HQ to send in any intel you may gather from these articles! Perhaps… No, nevermind. At the very least, let these serve as means of sharpening your mind and preparing you for whatever Zoraxis madness awaits."

The above message revealed the password to be "whereareyou," which when typed in gave access to the below documents:

## **codexfiles**

The second set of documents, called the "codexfiles," was accessible through a link written on a photograph shown at 0:14 in the villain reveal trailer, released at the beginning of June, 2023. The message from this website is as follows:

> "Aha. So *that`s* how I get your attention, Agent? A hidden message? Typical. *THE* records show you scored well in Deduction and Observation testing during onboarding, so naturally, as a Human Resources professional, I knew you’d make it here eventually. Some may say it’s an unproven method of reaching your staff… but one must do what one must do. That said, I have some files that have been in desperate need of sorting. Seems as though your Handler is a bit preoccupied with other missions… so, I’m passing them your way. I hope you don’t mind. I’ll factor this in when determining your next vacation request. Your last request was pretty off the map. These files are locked behind a *pASscOdE…* so I’m hoping you’ll be able to remember the credentials. I couldn’t find the directions to them in my notes. Stay sharp. - x, Shawn in HR"

This message revealed the password to be "that`sTHEpASscOdEx," which when typed in gave access to the below dossiers for eight different characters. One of these characters however, specifically Sam in Accounting, is only ever mentioned in the codex files, and is never mentioned in any of the games.
