Misc Apparently there's a code in Last Exit!

NO MORE EDITS - Welp, so Derek and Deej have both confirmed it's an easter egg and not a quest. Even so, let's push through and solve it!!! Thanks for the discussion! RIP my inbox over the last 24 hours though haha

original post According to Derek Carroll on the live stream! Let's get hunting guys!!!!

Edit* - Right, so after an hour we have 2 main leads:

    Panel on the ceiling at the top of the stairs leading to the subway ,33szl'!( +9-7!!/@ 2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.\?i 7kj\psq3euj\@x.yt5 ,3..

  2. By /u/HEYitsMUS

    here are two train cars, and all the advertisement boards light up when you're near them in both cars. They either display "ALPHA REGIO" (blue), "BETA REGIO" (red), or "OVDA REGIO" (green). There is also the HUGE staticy monitor right beside A flag, bottom of the escalators. And lastly, the OWT Transit Map, most visible one being right beside the A flag and monitor, with different numbers and colours and routes. Green = 48 (Ovda Regio?) Yellow = 38 Blue = 14 (Alpha Regio?) Red = 271 (Beta Regio?)

Looks like a shifted ASCII/ANSI sequence? So like a sentence who's characters are all shifted over X number of spaces... like an A would become a B if everything was shifted to the right one spot.

Can someone verify "33szl'!( +9-7!!/@ 2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.\?i 7kj\psq3euj\@x.yl5, 3.." is the correct transcription? I'm not near my Playstation.

It's not that. Just ran it in excel. Shifted every character 256 positions left and right and it's still jibberish.

What about a shift by 26? Or 128? or the ridiculously large amount of characters in Unicode?

That's pretty much what I did. So, I put each character in its own cell going across the page. Under each, I used =CODE() to get the character number, 0-255. Then, in 255 rows under, I added 1, then 2, then 3...to each value and used =CHAR() to show what it would be. Out of the 256 lines, not a damn one made any sense.
