Such a great find, just enough of a difficulty where it required me to think but also enjoy the gameplay and graphics! Thanks for sharing :)

Without the clue in the itchio page comments, I wouldn't have been able to open the 2005 blue safe. Too many numbers without a clear connection to the solution (why is there a 2 and 3 on the papers in 1992?). Otherwise straightforward solve. Interesting time travel take on the mask theme.

Nice.

Any hints on the 2019 room?

A nice diversion. Thank you.

Cheat code

I wrote down then numbers/symbols/letters according to where in the room I found them. Everything fell together nicely. The password broke this pattern, but since it made word with an obvious connection to the puzzle, that was also straightforward.

Too confusing, I'm stuck with the letter code.

It spells a word. The pairs of letters aren't in any certain order in the rooms.

can anyone explain why the 2 letter groups for the word were not in time order even while there was a clue in the first room "TIME"?? Also why was the odd, barely-matching symbol in 1992 that was even the wrong color an "A"?? Other than those 2 glaring errors (unless someone can provide a logic explanation), the game was enjoyable.

The TIME is part of the reveal at the end - there is a message in that corner of the room and TIME is the word in the middle
