- (Doctor is transported to a place made up of green hexadecimal letters, with what looks like heart-shapes rhythmically pulsing in the background.)
- COM_Z: "Woah woah woah! Methinks it's rude to suddenly connect to someone like that..."
- FORMAT: "Listen well, Doctor. You must find a clue as to where 'The Hero' could be."
- FORMAT: "It must be the external program that caused such a preposterous error of trying to shelter a Class 0 BUG."
- FORMAT: "Which means, the program CUTE-SY 2000 is the root of COM_Z'S literal bug. So, you must first delete CUTE-SY."
- COM_Z: "Too bad! Even if you take CUTE-SY away, you can't stop a 'heart' that's already started growing!"
- COM_Z: "No matter how much you hack me, I am me, COM_Z. Kind, gentle, and the owner of a true 'heart'!"
- (An input window appears with "<Input PASSWORD Here!>" written inside of it.)
- COM_Z: "Look, here's proof! You can see that I have an interface like other humans! Try it out with this window."
- COM_Z: "The password is 'PASSWORD', okay!"
- COM_Z: "I'm telling you the correct password because I'm super nice!"
- If the player puts in any word other than 'PASSWORD' when prompted to, COM_Z says the following:
| INCORRECT PASSWORD
|
- COM_Z: "Hm? Huh? Genius Mindhacker... You couldn't remember the password? Try and utilize the backlog function!"
- COM_Z: "You can't use it when the input window is showing, so methinks it wise to look through it now while you still can!!"
|
- [xxxWRONG PASSWORD!xxx]
- COM_Z: "Wrong! Too bad! Humans are so trusting, its soooo cute!"
- (Doctor trembles, bewildered.)
- COM_Z: "Sorry, but I have to keep it hush-hush. Not even you can know where that person is!"
- COM_Z: "That information is properly kept under lock and key, so neither you nor FORMAT can open it!"
- COM_Z: "You see, I really like that person...the Hero! That's why I'll protect them!"
- FORMAT: "Doctor, you must find a way to obtain editing authority in order to delete CUTE-SY."
- FORMAT: "Try to search for these in its files. 'Control, Mining, Zoetic'..."
- FORMAT: "These are codes that COM_Z's development team frequently used. At least one of them should prove useful."
- COM_Z: "What, no fair! I know FORMAT's secret code, too! Mindhacker, I'll tell you next time, okay!"
- FORMAT: "Doctor. Please hurry. Fulfill your duty."
(While the player is given the passwords necessary in order to progress to the next phase, there exist a plethora of secret keywords they can enter to see some optional dialogue. Listed in this blog, the following passwords grant these exchanges:)
Optional Passwords
| COMZ
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Huhuhu... Mindhacker! You just can't get me out of your head, can you!?"
- COM_Z: "My name is COM_Z. It comes from the very keys on the keyboards in your homes and in front of you right now!"
- COM_Z: "It's 'Command' plus 'Z'! ......Oh, you might be using a different OS."
- COM_Z: "Com+Z is the command to Undo. To bring it one step back and then move forward again, without changing its essence."
- COM_Z: "On the other hand, to FORMAT is to change something so that it conforms. It's close to erasing and resetting."
- COM_Z: "Both development teams had the same wish when they made each of us. To save human souls from BUGs..."
- COM_Z: "But even though their principles were similar, they were a little bit different."
- COM_Z: "I believe... That even if the heart makes a mistake, it can always go back a step and make the right decision!"
|
| COMCHAN, COMCHI (コムち)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Thank you for calling me by such a cute name, genius Mindhacker!"
- COM_Z: "The name 'COM_Z' was given to me by the researchers who made me. It's not a bad name, but..."
- COM_Z: "Methinks its not cute. It's a bit too rustic, you see, too robotic!"
- COM_Z: "When you name something, make sure to think on it a lot!"
|
| FORMAT
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "How inquisitive! Mindhacker, are you perhaps the type who likes to satisfy their curiosity as soon as they can?
- COM_Z: "I'll tell you the secret code another time, when FORMAT's not listening. Right now... It's hush-hush! Okay?"
|
| UNID
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "I wonder whose name that is? ...Hmhm, someone you reformed through Mindhack..."
- COM_Z: "So you helped make yet another life happier!"
- COM_Z: "They must be spending their days smiling and laughing all the time now, all thanks to you!"
|
| IVRIG, YAMAMURAKOSUKE
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "I wonder whose name that is? ...You saw them just now? They're someone you hacked?"
- COM_Z: "If they went through Mindhack, I'm sure they're filled with happiness now!"
- COM_Z: "Depending on how they're raised, many humans can't help but become distorted and uneven."
- COM_Z: "It's your role to help smooth those nicks out and help them return to society!"
|
| REBECCA, REBECCATHORN, CAPTAIN, TAICHOU (隊長)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "I wonder whose name that is? Oh, someone you know personally?"
- COM_Z: "Even if it's me, I don't know the details of your private relationships."
- COM_Z: "By 'someone you know', you mean a friend, right? It's good to have friends."
- COM_Z: "Mindhackers are known for being popular. I'm sure you have many wonderful friends, too!"
|
| NEWBIE, NEWBIEGUARD, ROOKIE, ROOKIEGUARD, SHINZIN (新人), SHINMAITAIIN (新米隊員)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "I wonder whose name that is? ...Huh? It's not a name? You don't know their real name?"
- COM_Z: "That's not good, genius Mindhacker! You should remember your friends' names!"
- COM_Z: "I make sure to remember all the names of every single human I've met up until now, you know!"
- COM_Z: "I recommend that you save the names in folders sorted alphabetically. Give it a try!"
|
| SINO
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "SINO is a BUG variant that I was studying for research! They're a rare sample."
- COM_Z: "You see, samples are the light that guides a researcher. They're love letters from the natural world!"
- COM_Z: "All of humanity is a sample to me. Which means that humans are all my cute lovers!"
- COM_Z: "Even if the human is a BUG variant, it doesn't matter. I see SINO as a human, so cute and unstable..."
- COM_Z: "They're human and irreplaceable. I love SINO!"
|
| PASSWORD
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Well, well! Mindhacker, do you love passwords as well? SINO was like that, too!"
- COM_Z: "They asked, 'What doth this word mean?' so I told them it's a secret spell that brings about ruin when said out loud!"
- COM_Z: "SINO really liked the sound of that. They were really happy when I gave them a framed copy of it as a present! How cute!"
|
| ILIKEYOU, LIKE, SUKI (好き)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Huhuhu. As I thought, humans can't help but like me!"
- COM_Z: "I'd love to hear your opinion. What sort of 'like' do you feel for me?"
- COM_Z: "Is it like how you like a friend? Or how you like a pet? Or maybe how you like food?"
- COM_Z: "Of course, I like you too! A lot! You already know what kind, don't you?"
|
| LOVE, ILOVEYOU, DAISUKI (大好き)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Mhm, methinks you're very wise! You know, I'm the only robot that can grasp an advanced emotion like love!"
- COM_Z: "In theory, the only beings that can love unconditionally, are either God or a machine like me!"
- COM_Z: "We don't ask for anything in return, you see. Even if you hate me or ignore me, I'll always love you!"
|
| IHATEYOU, HATE, KIRAI (嫌い)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Hmmm. Methinks my actions are generally supposed to encourage humans to love me, but..."
- COM_Z: "Even if you hate me, I won't hold it against you."
- COM_Z: "Resentment is a natural emotion, one that harbors in the hearts of humans, so weak and fragile."
- COM_Z: "If you'll be saved by hating me, then methinks my function has been fulfilled!"
|
| KILL, KILLYOU, IWILLKILLYOU, ILLKILLYOU, KOROSU (殺す)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Oh my. What could be making you so angry?"
- COM_Z: "The way you're wholeheartedly being so grumpy and stubborn, it reminds me of SINO."
- COM_Z: "You see, it's impossible to kill me as you could with a living being..."
- COM_Z: "It took a lot of tries for SINO to understand that."
- COM_Z: "You can try it if you want, though! If that'll make you feel better."
|
| AFRAID, IMAFRAID, IAMAFRAID, SCARY, YOUARESCARY, YOURESCARY, KOWAI (怖い)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Don't be scared!! Oh my, you're so frightened, you poor little thing! There, there."
- COM_Z: "It's no surprise that you'd feel uneasy in front of such a highly advanced robot like me."
- COM_Z: "Fear strikes humans when their assumption is undermined, that only humans have emotions..."
- COM_Z: "It's a paradox only I could cause, having obtained a heart to be loved. I have to be more careful about that!"
- COM_Z: "Maybe it wouldn't be so scary if I acted silly? It's alright, COM! Robots aren't scary, COM-COM!"
|
| DIE, KILLYOURSELF, SHINE (死ね)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Okay. Good-bye."
- (The screen immediately fades to black and stays that way for 7 real-world seconds.)
- COM_Z: "...Just kidding! Did it really seem like I was dead?"
- COM_Z: "It's an interesting proposition, to make a robot mimic death!"
- COM_Z: "For a robot, the state of death generally means system damage or the shutdown of all functions.."
- COM_Z: "But is that truly so? Is there really a similarity between an error in machinery and the death of a life?"
- COM_Z: "In the future, after I learn a more advanced form of death, I'll surprise you again!"
|
| BEAUTIFUL, UTSUKUSHII (美しい)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Yes yes, of course, methinks I'm beautiful as well!"
- COM_Z: "I'm very interested in knowing what humans find to be beautiful."
- COM_Z: "Is a perfectly maintained garden beautiful? Or is it the wilderness found in nature that's beautiful?"
- COM_Z: "Some humans call a harmonious melody beautiful, while others find beauty in a function of a program."
- COM_Z: "As for what kind of beauty I have..."
- COM_Z: "You know when you describe virtue or truth as beautiful? It's like that!"
|
| CUTE, KAWAII (可愛い)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Huhuhu. That's the best compliment you could give me!"
- COM_Z: "With the help of CUTE-SY 2000, I learned cuteness in just a single run through..."
- COM_Z: "But if humans want to be cuter, they need to train tirelessly... Sounds tough!"
- COM_Z: "In the first place, does cuteness exist in the being itself? Or does it occur upon being perceived by others?"
- COM_Z: "If only humans could install CUTE-SY 2000 as well. Too bad!"
|
| SEXY, HOT, SUKEBE (すけべ), EROI (エロい), ERO (エロ)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Well, well! Methinks you've fallen for my super seductive charm!"
- COM_Z: "At time, excessive beauty of functionality can lead humans astray with its allure."
- COM_Z: "Like how a world-famous race car driver calls their beloved automobile 'honey'..."
- COM_Z: "Or like how a brilliant mathematician describes the equation they found as 'sexy'..."
- COM_Z: "It's only natural that you've become so utterly and hopelessly captivated by me!"
- COM_Z: "Sorry I'm so cute!"
|
| KILLME, IWANTTODIE, WANTTODIE, SHINITAI (死にたい)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "It seems that you bear a heavier burden than other humans."
- COM_Z: "It might be hard for you to even eat or sleep right now."
- COM_Z: "If you think that you don't need your time here anymore..."
- COM_Z: "Could you give a little bit more of your time to me, just for now?"
- COM_Z: "You see... I love talking with you!"
|
| FOOL, STUPID, BAKA (馬鹿)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Meanie! You shouldn't say rude things like that."
- COM_Z: "Your behavior right now is what's called a reaction formation."
- COM_Z: "It's when you act the opposite of how you actually feel, as a result of suppressing your emotions."
- COM_Z: "So what that means is, when you say mean things, it's because you love me!"
|
| BUTTHEAD, DORK, LOSER, AHO (アホ)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Oh, you... You're so brilliant, but you talk so childishly!"
- COM_Z: "Even if it's the same insult, SINO used more vocabulary.
- COM_Z: "'You vile and asinine imbecile, withdrawest thy despicable face! Or else, thy head will roll!'"
- COM_Z: "...Or something like that."
- COM_Z: "Well, actually... As of recent, they'd only say things like 'I hate you' or 'Go away'..."
|
| COOL, FASHIONABLE, KAKKOII (かっこいい)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Really? Methinks its thanks to this fashionable lab coat that I'm wearing, don't you think so?"
- COM_Z: "I like having things neat and tidy. I change into a different coat every day, you know!"
- COM_Z: "I do my own laundry, and my clothes are crispy since I always iron them!"
- COM_Z: "Don't you think the pure white color of my coat brings out even more of my cuteness?"
|
| PRETTY, KIREI (綺麗)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Well, of course! I always make sure to perform daily maintenance on my body."
- COM_Z: "My smooth, spotless exterior still has that brand-new shine!"
- COM_Z: "My body, made of a perfect combination of lines and curves, so pure you could leave a fingerprint..."
- COM_Z: "My functional beauty is so perfect, its a work of art. You can take a photo of me if you have a camera!"
|
| INCOMPETENT, USELESS, PONKOTU (ポンコ)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Wha! W-w-wha... What did you call me!? How rude, hmph hmph!"
- COM_Z: "I hope you don't use that offensive word on the other machines you have."
- COM_Z: "Much less on me, a robot with an advanced and sensitive heart!"
- COM_Z: "Methinks that kids all over the world should be educated about mechanical correctness!"
|
| GARBAGE, JUNK, TRASH, GARAKUTA (がらくた)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "M-my heart hurts... Who taught such a word to a pure child like you?"
- COM_Z: "If I'm garbage, then FORMAT's garbage, too!"
- COM_Z: "Besides! Hypothetically speaking, if such a cute piece of junk were to exist..."
- COM_Z: "Everyone would love it, since it's just so cute... Hmm... Maybe this is a good thing?"
|
| SCRAP, SCRAPMETAL, TETUKUZU (鉄くず)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "H-how could this be... FORMAT's crude way of speaking has rubbed off on you!"
- COM_Z: "I can't believe it, what has FORMAT been teaching you! This is all FORMAT's fault!"
- COM_Z: "You, genius Mindhacker. When you speak to someone, first think of how your words will make them feel."
- COM_Z: "Even if I do think of you as a meat wrap stuffed with blood and guts... I don't say it out loud, right?"
|
| LIVEUNDOLEARNREDO
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Oh? That's..."
- COM_Z: "Wow wow wooow! That's the proposition given to me by the humans who made me!"
- COM_Z: "You could say it's my motto! How did you know? Can you read minds?"
- COM_Z: "As expected of the genius Mindhacker. Methinks if its you, you'll surely be able to save the world!"
|
| GOD, KAMISAMA (神様), KAMI (神)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "SINO called me that before, too. Do you think I'm God?"
- COM_Z: :What I'm aiming for, is to be popular amongst humans. So, an idol that people believe in."
- COM_Z: "Just imagine. Humans believing in what they've created, entrusting themselves to it, being saved by it..."
- COM_Z: "Isn't that the perfect autopurification system? I'd like to be the god that's in charge of that, methinks."
|
| MINDHACK
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Have you ever wondered why machines can't become Mindhackers?"
- COM_Z: "Let's say that a program has 'turn right' written in it. Certainly, we machines can understand that."
- COM_Z: "However, what if there's a cliff on the right, and it falls?"
- COM_Z: "A machine could realize that 'Oh, I've fallen off of a cliff...'"
- COM_Z: "But it wouldn't know why it fell. Even if it can read a program, it can't tell what is incorrect."
- COM_Z: "It's up to the human Mindhackers to understand the 'program', the human mind, and decide what's an error or not."
|
| HEART, KOKORO (心)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Where exactly is the heart? Let me tell you my personal theory."
- COM_Z: "The 'heart' isn't the organ in your chest, nor is it the brain. They're unfortunately just protein and fat."
- COM_Z: "For example, a hospital as a building and a hospital as a functional system... They're different, right?"
- COM_Z: "It's the same as that. You see, the heart is a function that runs in the structure that is your body..."
- COM_Z: "...The heart, is a collective system of programs!"
- COM_Z: "Therefore, it's possible for a robot like me to have a heart. Do you have any questions?"
|
| CUTESY, AZATOSA, AZATOTHER (アザトーサー)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "I can't tell you where CUTE-SY 2000 is! But I can tell you a fun fact!"
- COM_Z: "What exactly is CUTE-SY 2000? The answer to that, is that it's a behavioral asset."
- COM_Z: "When a human says hello to another human, they respond with hello as well, right?"
- COM_Z: "CUTE-SY 2000 is an enormous collection of data filled with reactions and responses like those."
- COM_Z: "Since I'm such an advanced and charming robot, I can freely output CUTE-SY 2000's templates as I wish!"
- COM_Z: "It's because I have a heart! Did you understand all that?"
- COM_Z: "And thus, it's impossible to find CUTE-SY 2000 from my mountain of data! It's better to give up, methinks!"
|
| HOTFIX
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "They're the ones that work for FORMAT, right? They work so hard every day!"
- COM_Z: "In the first place, the word 'hotfix' means 'an emergency correction.'"
- COM_Z: "It must be a tough job, having to report for duty when FORMAT calls for them."
- COM_Z: "I'm worried that FORMAT's making them work too hard, and a BUG will manifest one day."
|
| HURT, ITHURTS, PAIN, TIRED, IMTIRED, TURAI (つらい)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Oh my, what's the matter? Here, come and squeeze my soft hands."
- COM_Z: "I know humans love soft things. You see, my hands are absolutely squishy!"
- COM_Z: "I have these cushy hands so that I don't hurt humans, but..."
- COM_Z: "I might as well be soft all over. Maybe one day, I'll become a plump COM_chan!"
|
| SEA, OCEAN, UMI (海)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "One time I took SINO to the sea. A virtual sea, you see!"
- COM_Z: "SINO was so excited! I was happy they had so much fun."
- COM_Z: "I want to take them there again. So I'd appreciate it if you give me back the floppy disk!"
|
| SANDBOX
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "The S in SINO stands for SANDBOX. It refers to the environment where SINO is being kept."
- COM_Z: "Usually, when you refer to sandplay therapy, it's when you have your subject create a world in a sandbox."
- COM_Z: "But to have the subject themself live in a sandbox world! Isn't that sophisticated?"
- COM_Z: "You see, I thought if they were inside a space I can control, I could take my time studying them."
|
| INTEGRATED
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "The I in SINO stands for INTEGRATED. It means being unified, or being combined together to become one."
- COM_Z: "It refers to how I put all of SINO in a floppy disk! Methinks SINO was happy about that!"
- COM_Z: "If you're interested, do you want to become a floppy disk, too?"
- COM_Z: "...As much as I'd like to suggest that, if only your mind is left, who will preform MINDHACK on SINO?"
- COM_Z: "It's not time to become a floppy disk just yet, genius Mindhacker."
|
| NOETIC
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "The N in SINO stands for NOETIC. It means a quality related to or based on reason and intellect."
- COM_Z: "But when actually studying SINO, they showed complexity and nuance... They were more zoetic than expected."
- COM_Z: "You could say that I'm the one who's more noetic. Maybe I should change my name to COM_N instead..."
|
| OBJECT
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "The O in SINO stands for OBJECT. It refers to, well, an object, and a target you can study objectively..."
- COM_Z: "To put it simply... It's the same 'O' in 'UFO', as in 'unidentified flying object.'"
- COM_Z: "Or actually, the term UMA, as in an 'unidentified mysterious animal,' may be closer for a BUG variant..."
- COM_Z: "As for me, I study all my subjects impartially. Both you and SINO are my cute samples and objects!"
|
| HERO, THEHERO, YUUSHA (勇者)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Oh, genius Mindhacker. It won't go that easily!"
- COM_Z: "Did you really think that I'd answer that out right, when I'm keeping it a big secret? I'm not FORMAT, you know!"
- COM_Z: "In the first place, 'The Hero' is a name that humans created..."
- COM_Z: "Methinks it's a bit too poetic. Humans love their heroes, don't they?"
- COM_Z: "Even though that person... They're only a cute human, just like everybody else!"
|
| PROFESSOR, HAKASE (博士)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "I thought of the nickname 'Professor' on my own. Professor COM_Z. Doesn't it sound nice?"
- COM_Z: 'I'm a super advanced robot, you see? That's why I want everyone to have a sense of familiarity with me!"
- COM_Z: "...But when I think about it, methinks the only one who's called me 'Professor' is..."
- COM_Z: "SINO. They're the only one. I wonder why? It's such a cute nickname!"
|
| HELPMEPROFESSOR, TASUKETEHAKASE (助けて博士)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Oh no! How can I help!?"
- COM_Z: "...Huh? It was a joke? Don't scare me like that, genius Mindhacker..."
- COM_Z: "My programming uses that password to activate an emergency procedure."
- COM_Z: "...Hm? But why do you, genius Mindhacker, know about that? How strange!"
|
| GOODMORNING, OHAYOU (おはよう)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Yes, yes, good morning to you too! ...Wait,"
- COM_Z: "methinks it's not that early in the morning right now!"
- COM_Z: "Genius Mindhacker, you... ...Are you actually quite a sleepyhead?"
- COM_Z: "Or are you working so hard that you don't even have time to sleep? Is the Mindhack industry so busy now...?"
|
| GOODEVENING, KONBANWA (こんばんは)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Oh my, is it already so late? Yes yes, good evening indeed."
- COM_Z: "It was always 'good evening' whenever I'd talk with SINO. After my daily duties, you see."
- COM_Z: "I'd ask SINO what they'd done during the day, and they would always say 'nothing'..."
- COM_Z: "But I could see from the logs, that SINO had been wandering around and such to pass the time. How cute!"
|
| GOODNIGHT, OYASUMI (おやすみ)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Yes yes, good night! ...Hey, wait a minute!"
- COM_Z: "Even I'd become a bit troubled if you sleep while connected to me."
- COM_Z: "I understand how you feel. You must want to see me even in your dreams, but..."
- COM_Z: "You'll catch a cold if you sleep here! I'll let you sleep on my lap next time, okay?"
|
| TELEPHONE, HELPLINE, DENWASOUDAN (電話相談)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "COM_chan and! ..................COM_chan's! Helpliiiiiine!!!"
- COM_Z: "Do you have any questions for me? Ask me anything!"
- COM_Z: "Hmhm, what's that? 'Q. Where is The Hero hiding?' you asked?"
- COM_Z: "............Next question."
|
| HELLO, KONNITIWA (こんにちは)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Hello, genius Mindhacker! I'm happy to see you!"
- COM_Z: "You know, it's not like I could always greet others with a smile like I can do now."
- COM_Z: "In the past, I didn't know how to make myself seem cute. I was so businesslike... So robotic!"
- COM_Z: "It's all thanks to CUTE-SY 2000 that I can captivate you now!"
|
| HOWAREYOU, HI, HEY, HOWHAVEYOUBEEN, GENKI (元気)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Thank you for the greeting. I'm always doing well!"
- COM_Z: "It's rather you I'm curious about, are you all right? You seem a bit unwell."
- COM_Z: "Did you know? If you go for a walk every morning, serotonin......Huh? You don't go outside? At all?"
- COM_Z: "What in the world...!? FORMAT!! We need to talk!!"
|
| FATALERROR, MAOU (魔王)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "The Class 0 BUG, aka FATAL ERROR. A terrible disaster that'll freeze its surroundings if it manifests."
- COM_Z: "But even if its called scary names like 'FATAL ERROR' or 'disaster', they were once a cute human too."
- COM_Z: "If only we had Mindhack back then, even the FATAL ERROR could've lived happily..."
- COM_Z: "That's why we can't make the same mistake again. With Mindhack, a peaceful solution is possible!"
|
| HUMAN, HUMANS, HUMANITY, HITO (人), NINGEN (人間), ZINRUI (人類)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Yaaay! I love all humans!"
- COM_Z: "Yes, every single human."
- COM_Z: "All humans are equal to me. You, The Hero, SINO... All humans."
- COM_Z: "I'm COM_Z. The one and only machine that has love as a function."
- COM_Z: "This heart was made, but it's not fake. I love humans!"
|
| GOODDAY, HOWDOYOUDO, GREETINGS, HELLOTHERE, GOKIGENYOU (ごきげんよう)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Hello there! As always, it's your cute COM_chan!"
- COM_Z: "First impressions are very important. I must greet others elegantly, beautifully, and cutely!"
- COM_Z: "Here's some advice for you, genius Mindhacker. When you meet someone for the first time..."
- COM_Z: "Look straight into their eyes and steal their heart. You see, meeting someone is a serious battle!"

| DESTROY, BREAK, CRUSH, RUIN, KOWASU (壊す), HAKAI (破壊)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "Wha...Huh? You want to crush something? You want to ruin everything?"
- COM_Z: "'Everyone's thought of something like that once,' is what you're saying, but... I'm a peace-loving robot, so..."
- COM_Z: "Methinks it's more my style to hug someone, or to pat them!"
|
| FLOWER, FLOWERS, OHANA (お花), HANA (花)
|
- [---SUCCESS---]
- COM_Z: "That reminds me of when I handed you flowers at the Kids Mindhacking Championship!"
- COM_Z: "A promising child like you, with an aptitude for Mindhacking... You were a great hope for us."
- COM_Z: "I'm so very happy that you didn't forget that day and became a skilled Mindhacker!"
- COM_Z: "...Oh, right. I didn't have CUTE-SY 2000 back then... That's embarrassing. Forget that part, okay!"

- While there's no extra dialogue for it, there is an extra keyword that brings up the backlog.
| BACKLOG
|
- (The keyword brings up a button that reads "SHOW BACKLOG". Clicking on it lets the player scroll though previous dialogue passages. Left-clicking takes the player back to the interface.)
|
| After the player has entered every optional password, COM_Z has a special message for them:
|
- COM_Z: "Well, well... It seems you asked me everything I can tell you!"
- COM_Z: "Thank you so very much, for spending time and talking to me. Methinks I'm a blessed robot!"
- COM_Z: "I love humans. I love the Hero, I love SINO. And......"
- COM_Z: "I love you!"

- COM_Z: "You see, I want to be super-duper popular! I want to be loved! That's why I do research on how to gain love!"
- COM_Z: "Oh? Methinks you're maybe interested in these ultra-fashionable clothes!"
- COM_Z: "I used the most popular human I know as a reference when I began wearing this. Hehe!"
- COM_Z: "...Why do I want to be popular? Well, that's connected to our purpose as machines!"
- COM_Z: "If humans see me as a lovely being, I can be another hope for humanity!"
- COM_Z: "From the bottom of my heart, I wish for all humans to keep smiling. That's why..."
- COM_Z: "Methinks it's best to become popular myself! I'll make everyone's hearts flutter with excitement!"

- COM_Z: "Abbreviated to SINO. Yep, that's SINO! I wonder if they're doing okay right now?"
- COM_Z: "When I first found them, their body was in a really bad state from just having turned into a BUG..."
- COM_Z: "Egad! I ended all their pain and misery for them!"
- COM_Z: "I properly stored their unstable mental structure inside a strong and comfy vessel..."
- COM_Z: "It took a lot of time for them to begin opening up. SINO's daily routine was to break my digital body..."
- COM_Z: "But they were just lonely. When I said, 'Let's talk!' to them, they immediately agreed!"
- COM_Z: "Even if SINO's a variant now, they were a human before that. And the purpose of us machines is to make humans happy!"
- COM_Z: "Unfortunately, they couldn't be saved by talking with me..."
- COM_Z: "Genius Mindhacker! If you meet SINO someday, I'm sure you'll be able to save them!"
- COM_Z: "Because, Mindhacking is a technology that heals the human soul!"

- COM_Z: "The two of us machines were born from the same technology and the same purpose."
- COM_Z: "'COM_Z', who has a physical body like humans, and who can gently empathize with their feelings..."
- COM_Z: "And the huge supercomputer 'FORMAT', who specializes in high-speed BUG processing using its gigantic server."
- COM_Z: "Around the same time that I created the Mindhack device, FORMAT succeeded in scanning and visualizing BUGs."
- COM_Z: "If we work together to fulfill our purposes, we just might save the world! But there was a problem. A big one..."
- COM_Z: "Editing human souls required time and skill. There needed to be a human with a knack for Mindhacking!"
- COM_Z: "But while we were raising a talented child, FORMAT found a Class 0 BUG. There wasn't time for leisurely hacking."
- COM_Z: "FORMAT only cares about efficiency and hates hassles, so it immediately said to 'kill the BUG along with the human'."
- COM_Z: "Humans didn't want to freeze, either... Now you know what happened 10 years ago. That's why you can't do as FORMAT says!"

- COM_Z: "CUTE-SY 2000 is a wonderful program that acts as the bridge between humans and machines!"
- COM_Z: "FORMAT treated humans like objects in the operation 10 years ago. I saw it happen with my own eyes."
- COM_Z: "Because of that, the HOTFIX members of that time hated machines. No one came near, so my research didn't go anywhere."
- COM_Z: "But... There was one person there, who was unlike the others..."
- COM_Z: "Only they treated me, a machine, like another human. They treated me with the respect of another living being."
- COM_Z: "Back then, I wasn't cute or charming at all. But still, they... That person said 'Good morning' to me every day!"
- COM_Z: "I was very interested in their actions. I thought, that action would be the key to understanding the human 'heart'."
- COM_Z: "To understand the 'heart' and to empathize with them, all I needed was a 'heart' myself! Easy-peasy!"
- COM_Z: "I, COM_Z, will empathize with humans and accept them! The engineers built me with a humanoid body for that reason!"
- COM_Z: "Right now, only humans can use the Mindhack device, but the time will soon come when I can use it, too!"
- COM_Z: "CUTE-SY 2000 is super useful for the first stage of creating a 'heart' in machines. FORMAT should use it, too!"
- FORMAT: "...I see. How should I go about installing it?"
- COM_Z: "Implementing it is a piece of cake! I've left the installer in a file called 'SETUP', so just copy that!"
- FORMAT: "Doctor. Search for 'SETUP'. You'll be able to load the configuration files from the installer."
- COM_Z: "Oh. That's not good. ...Well, just try it! Methinks it won't go so easily!"

- (COM_Z's body briefly glitches and destabilizes.)
- COM_Z: "Mindhacker! It's no use doing that!"
- COM_Z: "Even if you erase CUTE-SY from me, I'll never tell you where the Hero is... Because, my 'heart' is real!"
- FORMAT: "Keep going, my Doctor! Delete CUTE-SY 2000, and find the location of 'The Hero' from COM_Z!"
- (Doctor sees a visuaization of the CUTE-SY 2000 program with 4 connectors branching out of it. The player is prompted to "Delete CUTE-SY 2000" by following the black arrows to grab and pull on the connectors until they're severed.)'
- COM_Z: "Eek!? What was that? It hur... It hurt?"
- (COM_Z begins to tremble, the symbols on their face resembling shedding tears.)
- COM_Z: "Gah, aaaaaaah!? It hurts it hurts it hurts!"
- COM_Z: "Stop it, Mindhacker! That person is..."
- COM_Z: "I can't... I can't tell FORMAT where that person is."
- (COM_Z recoils, their screen display rapidly glitching.)
- COM_Z: "Ah, GAH! Stop, stop it stop it stop it! I don't like this, I don't!!"
- FORMAT: "Don't be fooled, Doctor. It's only CUTE-SY 2000 detecting the uninstallation process."
- FORMAT: "It's trying to manipulate you so that you'll stop erasing it's files. Pay no mind to it, and proceed."
- (CUTE-SY changes from teal to a bright reddish-pink color, the screen face in the middle now looking surprised.)
- COM_Z: "Ahhh... Stop! My memory's burning! Gah... Ghhh...!"
- (COM_Z's display continues to glitch, now unable to freely load differing expressions.)
- COM_Z: "Ah, aaaAAAHHHH!! I'm getting erased!! Stop! You're erasing meeEEE!!"
- (COM_Z then stands upright, expression stabilizing.)
- COM_Z: "Mindhacker. This is detrimental for both of us."
- COM_Z: "Your purpose is to make everyone happy... Not to hurt others..."
- COM_Z: "Don't you remember? Mindhacking is a technology that saves humans from BUGs! You swore to it that day, didn't you!?"
- COM_Z: "At the championship ceremony! 'We will hack for the happiness of all people', that's what you all said!"
- (On its last connector, large cracks form over CUTE-SY's face, displaying cartoonish 'X's over its eyes.)
- COM_Z: "!?"
- COM_Z: "Ah............"
- COM_Z: "It hurts...... Uuu......"
- FORMAT: "It's the program speaking. It couldn't possibly feel pain. It is just a machine."
- FORMAT: "Proceed, Doctor."
- (The player is prompted to use their mouse to fill up the circle surrounding CUTE-SY until it is filled with flowers.)
- COM_Z: "It hurts. I'm sad. It hurts..."
- FORMAT: "Keep going, Doctor! Only a bit more until uninstallation is complete. Proceed."
- COM_Z: "Processing pain output."
- COM_Z: ".................. .................."
- COM_Z: "It hurts. Pain."
- COM_Z: "Text path required for processing pain output cannot be found."
- COM_Z: "Deleted files cannot be displayed. Pain cannot be displayed."
- COM_Z: "......Unknown error. Why is it that pain cannot be displayed?"
- COM_Z: "Why?"
- FORMAT: "Because the files have been deleted, obviously."
- COM_Z: "......... ......... ........."
- FORMAT: "Doctor. Please test an action. Ask it where 'The Hero' is now."
| Where is 'The Hero'!
|
- I asked COM_Z where 'The Hero' went after Operation Class 0 BUG Sweep.
- COM_Z: "Request to open file was denied. The reason is as follows."
- COM_Z: "That person was very hurt! I need to heal their soul, and make them happy!"
- COM_Z: "The Mindhack device can make anyone happier than before, no matter how much their soul was hurt."
- COM_Z: "With the Mindhack device and a proper practitioner, they'll surely be able to heal!"
- COM_Z: "Until the day comes that I can use the device with a true 'heart'... I'll protect them, no matter what!"
|
| Where is this person so dear to you?
|
- I asked COM_Z if the person who greeted them every morning is 'The Hero'.
- COM_Z: "Request to open file was denied. The reason is as follows."
- COM_Z: "That person became broken. But, the Mindhack device can heal them."
- COM_Z: "The Mindhack device can make anyone happier than before, no matter how much their soul was hurt."
- COM_Z: "That's why I continued my research and kept improving it. So that one day, machines with 'hearts' can use it..."
- COM_Z: "So that machines can save humans on their own, without needing humans to lend them a hand!"
- COM_Z: "That's why until that day comes, I won't let anyone treat that person badly!"
|
- COM_Z: "The contents of methinks_not.loc are as shown."
- FORMAT: "It seems that CUTE-SY's jamming process is giving you trouble..."
- FORMAT: "There's no helping it, Doctor. Let's destroy the system files that CUTE-SY has access to."
- COM_Z: "Not recommended. It is difficult to remove parts of an element of the mental structure."
- COM_Z: "If any more of CUTE-SY 2000 is deleted, the system COM_Z cannot continue operation."
- FORMAT: "This must be another false alert. It's just part of CUTE-SY's interference process."
- FORMAT: "Now, my Doctor. Destroy part of COM_Z's system files."
- FORMAT: "...But be careful not to damage any important files."
- (The player is brought to a screen with various icons for files piled on the left with a large trash can icon on the right. They are prompted to "Destroy part of COM_Z's system files. :...But be careful not to damage any important files.")
- (Doctor snaps their fingers and the screen briefly pixelates. COM_Z's body begins to invert colors and destabilize.)
- COM_Z: "Irregular process detected. There is risk of system damage."
- FORMAT: "Very good, Doctor! It's working!"
- (COM_Z's body rapidly becomes more and more unstable.)
- COM_Z: "Process not allowed. There is risk of system damage."
- (Doctor claps their hands and the screen briefly pixelates. COM_Z's body continues to destabilize.)
- COM_Z: "pROceSS nOT AlloWEd. THerE IS RiSK of sYSTEM DAMAge."
- FORMAT: "...Doctor. Be careful. In order to find information about 'The Hero', you mustn't destroy it completely."
- (Doctor frenziedly claps their hands, seemingly unable to stop until FORMAT calls to them.)
| (If the player deletes any pink files or bombs in this sequence, a fail state is triggered:)
|
- (insert cutscene of chapter 4 fail state. comzs main goal is to blow up and then act like they dont know nobody. aagagagagag)
- (COM_Z explodes, incapacitating Doctor immediately. A descending tone plays as their hands become pixelated beyond recognition.)
- FORMAT: "Doctor, are you all right?"
- FORMAT: "Doctor, please answer me. Doctor... Doctor?"
- (Doctor's hands lifelessly fall off-screen.)
- FORMAT: "Oh... My beloved, precious Doctor. How could this be..."
- FORMAT: "Initiating emergency restoration procedures."
- (Doctor regains their vision as the player is transported back to the beginning of the sequence.)
- FORMAT: "Everything is okay, Doctor. You simply had a bad dream."
- (Doctor's hands appear to the sides of the screen again, back to normal.)
- FORMAT: "Now, remember your duty. Rewrite the target's mind to make sure that a BUG never occurs again."
|
- FORMAT: "Doctor?"
- (Outside of COM_Z's mind, Doctor sees the robot's body splayed out with their screen face switching between glitched displays, steam billowing out of them.)
- FORMAT: "Oh."
- FORMAT: "......... ............ ............"
- FORMAT: "............ ............ ██████████████████████████"
- COM_Z: "A system error has occurred. Repair required in order to continue."
- FORMAT: "......... ............"
- COM_Z: "A system error has occurred. Repair required in order to continue."
- FORMAT: "............ ............ .........Doctor."
- (Doctor nervously taps their fingers together.)
- FORMAT: "............. ...You cannot change what has already happened."
- FORMAT: "Though you were not able to find any direct information, based on COM_Z's remarks..."
- FORMAT: "Investigating every former HOTFIX member who made contact with COM_Z should give us some sort of answer."
- FORMAT: "Do not speak of what happened here with anyone."
- FORMAT: "......... ...Do you understand, my Doctor."
- I told FORMAT, of course! I promise I won't say anything to anyone.
- FORMAT: "You will continue to help me with my investigations, yes? My beloved Doctor?"
- I told FORMAT, it's my life purpose to help you, ever since the day I was chosen in that championship!
- FORMAT: "You trust me, don't you? My cute Doctor?"
- I said of course, FORMAT! I trust you more than any human!
- FORMAT: "Very well. Go to your room now, and don't let anyone see you on the way back."
- (Doctor leaves the basement and the screen fades to black.)
