[DLC] Road to Gehenna QR codes

Overview

QR codes in Road to Gehenna.

Overview

As you know, there are a lot of hidden QR codes in The Talos Principle, so does Road to Gehenna. While QR codes in Talos Principle were messages of free programs, since the citizens of Gehenna are imprisoned, QR codes in RtG are fragments of terminal documents. These are QR codes I’ve found in Gehenna so far. If you find more, please leave a comment. Hex codes are decoded in brackets.

• I know not whether Laws be right,
  Or whether Laws be wrong;
  All that we know who lie in gaol
  Is that the wall is strong;
  And that each day is like a year,
  A year whose dyas are long.

Easter Egg

• Within the ‘Goliath’ level in World 4, there are eight hidden QR codes. These won’t scan in-game, so you have to use an mobile phone application. It is said these are reference of some Harry Potter fan-fic.
