We have two winners today.
Both Aurora and ๖ۣۜBinKill-Ethical have won.
The contest might be over, but you can still enjoy the puzzle!
Please note that this puzzle was not meant to be easy. I didn't use my full potential on creating this, but it's meant to be difficult, yet solvable by the right minds.
You'll have to use your intellect quite a bit. You may find yourself pondering upon a step for quite a while.
You make work on this as a team or independently.
So how do you start this puzzle? Use your brain. It's somewhere on this page.
Good luck to everyone!

Found the first step, this next bits got me stuck.
Wow. You guys are getting hung up on the first 2 steps? There's only 12 steps, and they get harder.
Also, there are files involved, feel free to scan them anywhere you like.

If enough people get stuck on the same step for a while, I'll give a small hint.
I give up.
I hate this type of shit. D:
I am never good at it.
