Password: KYM
Hint: 6

What?

[[Sigh, you just don't get it, do you?
Fine, I'll help you. BUT JUST THIS ONCE, OKAY?]]

Download this to get started

Checked it out, guys. The program and the file have no threats.

Good. For a while, this was the biggest "SEEMS LEGIT" ever.

@Twllltord

Yeah, I had my doubts too. Can't blame people for being cautious.

Anyways, this looks like it's gonna take some time. I'll post anything if I successfully unlock it.

Having a bit of a problem. I write the password given at the top but it seems to not be working. Is this part of the game?

as soon as I get up in the morning, that is.

[[Psst. In case you need a hint, what's six in Greek?

You may have to alter the password.]]

The password is 4b594d (Thanks, Luis!)

So for whomever wants it, the QR code gave a link to an image titled "darken" which after darkened looked like this:

Credit to anako for darkening embossing since darkening did nothing.

[[Hint: Tilt original]]
There are words in there

I tried tilting it and I can't figure it out.

Here's what I have

Also the slightly darker version

@Mex

Now the first 3 letters look like "Wal"

My analysis

Now that I look at it again, it looks like two words with a period after each. Could we get another hint?

[[Go to the original link (don't download the picture) and tilt]]

It really just looks like a game of Tetris to me.

"Wat A Hol(5 more characters "iday."?)"

My feeble little cat-mind can't comprehend this text.

[[Cough cough]]

Word 2: Distortion.

Hmm….

(Tilt your computer back)

What. This is a different picture than the one people in the IRC have been looking at the whole time. That one was a .jpg.

Six in greek is Hex and the second word is distortion…
Hex Distortion
Any other hints you can give us?

Hmm…
Hex distortion…
I'm thinking that one picture that we couldn't make out was a distortion of a hex code.

Did you check the KeePass? The first word is in there.

Treadmill Distortion.

Huh…

Next

I translated the KeePass from hex Code and this came out:
KYM
AND WERE BACK WHERE WE STARTED

FaceTheMusic, Family Tree Maker, FamiTracker(Famicon music), Finale, MicroGrafx font, Fathom data/statistics thing? IDFK what Fathom is.

WAIT NEVERMIND.
I think it might be morse code.

Fami should open the file.

So, the clue for stage 3 is dotdash. He also said that there is a link between all of the words we get (treadmill, distortion, word 3[whatever it will be] etc.).

It's morse guys.
I opened it and put it on soundcloud for y'all.
(Got that w/out the dotdash clue like a boss)

I think it's PLCLUB?

Spacing and the placement of spaces matters in Morse code. It determines the outcome.

Treadmill, Distortion, preclude.
hmm…

tread·mill:
>A monotonous task or set of tasks seeming to have no end.

dis·tor·tion:
>A statement that twists fact; a misrepresentation.
> A change in the shape of an image resulting from imperfections in an optical system, such as a lens.

pre·clude:
>To make impossible, as by action taken in advance; prevent. See Synonyms at prevent.
>To exclude or prevent (someone) from a given condition or activity: Modesty precludes me from accepting the honor.

What you guys think?

"Scallion" is the answer.

Scale – ale + All + Ion = Scallion.
yeah.
Treadmill, Distortion, Preclude, Scallion
What's in common?

Dat was quik.
