"IX Cheat Codes" Easter Egg
By jm_
There's a book titled "IX Cheat Codes" in the Tracy's apartment on the 1st floor.
You can type cheat codes on the keyboard here and reveal a nice collection of action figures.

Tracy's Bedroom
The computer is located in the Tracy's apartment in the far room on the right (it's bedroom).

 
Next to the keyboard you can see the book "IX Cheat Codes".
Of course, you can't open the book on Tracy's desk, but you can try to guess the games. You can notice the hints to (at least some of) them in the rooms, but you only need 9 games out of all.

One more direct hint: The games are popular games/game series released on PC 25-50 years ago. The cheat code for the oldest and less known game has been reused several times later in other games. All cheat codes are quite popular and can be googled

First, you need to find the lost keys scattered throughout the apartment.
In fact, you need only the letter keys (W-A-S-D) to work, so you don't need to find all the lost keys.

For each action figure you need just press sequence of keys on in-game keyboard.
Do not mind the register, but do not forget click space where it needed.

When you type the code right, you'll hear a special sound at the end.

Warning!
IF YOU WANT TO FIND GAMES AND CODES BY YOURSELF,
STOP HERE and CLOSE THE GUIDE!

All games and figures are shown in the next section (codes are under spoiler).

This is hard to keyboard on a steam deck. Sometimes when pushing on a key, you can't hear the key click whether using your finger or trying to click with the arrow. I hate this.

This is the tricky part, yes. In search for last code, I tried 20+ codes for 10+ games with no luck, guys in discord found it faster.
The goal is to find cheat codes for 9 popular games/game series released on PC 25-50 years ago. The cheat code for the oldest and less known game has been reused several times in other games. All the cheats give invulnerability, power or resources, and all of them are quite popular and can be googled.

The book on the desk is titled "9 cheat codes", so there're only 9 codes
