Alright, so here’s the deal. I was stuck in the void, bored out of my non-existent mind, messing around on the computer with Top\_Hat\_Lord (not my choice, by the way), and I stumbled across these strange files. They were just sitting there, gathering digital dust. Weird thing is, Top\_Hat\_Lord swears they’ve never seen them before.
When I opened one, it wasn’t a “game” in the usual sense—just a text box filled with a mess of symbols and, creepily enough, the word “YOU” standing out in the chaos. I don’t know if this is some kind of bug, an unfinished project, or something more… deliberate.
Since I’ve got nothing better to do (surprise, surprise), I decided to post it here as is. If anyone wants to crack this mystery—or tell me it’s just garbage—be my guest. Maybe there’s a hidden message, or maybe it’s just some cosmic joke on me.
If you figure it out, let me know. Otherwise, I’m going back to arguing with Top\_Hat\_Lord about why they’ve got such bad taste in void aesthetics.

I think it might be a secret code.

Okay, so after your comment, I went digging around the same folder (because why not), and guess what? Found another file. This one looks like it might be some kind of decoder—a list matching those weird symbols to letters of the alphabet.
Now, I haven’t had time to fully piece it together because, you know, eternal void and all that, but this could be a key to cracking whatever this… _thing_ is. Either it’s a message, or someone was just really bored. I’ll leave it to you geniuses to figure out, but I’ll drop a hint: The word “YOU” is definitely there, so maybe it’s a message meant for me—or worse, _from_ me?
Anyway, have fun decoding. I’ll be here waiting to see if this is brilliant or just another waste of time in the void. Probably the latter, but who knows?

Alright, I’ve been staring at this file for longer than I’d like to admit, and I’m not seeing any of the words or patterns some of you are mentioning. To me, it’s just a jumble of symbols with nothing decipherable—no hidden messages, no secret codes, nada.
I even tried running it through a few decoders, but came up empty. It’s like the file is intentionally obfuscated or maybe even corrupted.
Anyone else having the same issue, or is it just me? Could be that the file behaves differently on different systems, or maybe there’s a step I’m missing.
Let me know if you’ve got any insights, because right now, this thing is as clear as mud to me.

Hm… Interesting.
Someone needs to make a makecode theory video.

okay, just wanted to clarify for some people(you specifically), that this is a alternate account for a challenge I am doing and this lore dump. originally, this game had some hidden words(or was supposed to) in the form of a alternate made up language, but my language did not match the decoder and so I just made it so that in lore the encryption failed which is what caused the deletion that was already planned.
and if anyone says anything about that idea being dumb, note that someone made an account just to make a comment as a character from a popular game on the site soo yeah.
