If that phrase means something special to Maggie or Anna, they would see it and know, even if they had forgotten this wasn’t their first time through, that someone who knows them well wants them to get out of that cave. It’s possible it’s a warning to themselves, if they’re aware of the time loops. The first graffiti is before a point of no return, after all. Why, though? Well, it could be a warning to others, but the phrasing isn’t terribly useful. Since Anna uses the same phrase, it’s almost certain one of them left the graffiti. We only know of two people that have been this far in this cave – Maggie Adler and Anna Shea. Go! It doesn’t matter why you leave, just that you do. It’s telling you to do something – in this case, get out.

The first graffiti is phrased as an imperative. Saying “I need to go see a man about a dog” means “I need to go now and I don’t want to say why, probably for decency’s sake.” With that, we can develop one possible meaning. So, first off, the phrase “see a man about a dog” is used as an excuse while leaving when you’d rather not say why you’re leaving. Spoiler alert: I have no answer, although I do have answers. It’s so tantalizing, so well-hidden, and so, so unnecessary. In the cave near the start (and end) of the game, you find red graffiti: “SEE A MAN ABOUT A DOG.” Just a little bit later, in the lower area of the cave, you find similar graffiti: “SAW THE MAN BUT NOT THE DOG.” The last mention of it is hidden – Adler’s friend Anna can still communicate over radio through Morse code, and her message in the finale is not only in Morse, but that Morse is a base64 string containing more Morse, which then becomes binary, which then finally becomes the phrase “ask a man about a dog.” The phrase also shows up in the ARGs, but those are so cryptic as to be meaningless. There are spoilers ahead, and it won’t make much sense without context. If you wandered into this without first reading the earlier posts, please read this first.

The flashing light and download buttons do not currently work when in "Telegraph" mode.This is an Oxentale Club post. The "Configure" button reveals advanced options to control the frequency and speed and switch between telegraph and radio sound styles.

The vibrate option may only appear on a phone. You can choose between hearing the sound, seeing a flashing light, or having your phone vibrate using the "Sound", "Light" and "Vibrate" checkboxes. The "Play", "Pause", "Stop" and "Repeat" buttons control the playback. If a letter cannot be translated a "#" will appear in the output. The text translation will appear in the bottom box. Letters are separated by spaces and words by "/". You can type Morse code into the top box using "." for a dot and "-" or "_" for a dash. This is not a great tool for learning Morse code as looking at the dots and dashes does not help. Just type letters, numbers and punctuation into the top box and the Morse code will appear in the bottom box with a "#" if the character cannot be translated.
