To be honest, I downloaded the file, played the game once and got the key. It is possible for humans to win the game, or maybe it’s just my Super-Vegan powers LOL.

But I wanted, of course, to get the key using RE. I opened IDA and searched for interesting strings.

I highlighted the important lines: The success message (I know, I got it when I played) and the failure messages. Using X-Refs I found where the failure messages are printed out and patched the program to jump to the success instead. Notice that you’ll need to change two functions.
