Congratulations
I guess you need to send a picture of it opened to Gatekeeper (Evilkeen) for him to grant you access to a ?% club
Do you also have a Tessarisis?

So after registering my tarka I can get decryption files. But no encrypted PDF? How do I get the Tarka clues?

Suggest you try asking Sonic Games direct, they have the clues, but don't seem to want to publish them - I wrote and encoded them at the same time I did the Tessarisis clues, so I don't know why they're not available.

I got my Tarka yesterday. For a tiny puzzle, it's pretty difficult to figure out. As best I can tell, there are five buttons, but only one of them can be pressed. There's something that shifts along each axis when it is tilted, although none seems to free the other four buttons. I'm assuming the bottom rotates, but it may pull out, but same as with the buttons, the shifting pieces don't seem to affect it. And I've tried to move them by tilting the thing as well as turn it upside down. My next guess would be to jiggle it, like a certain unnamed puzzle.

I also thought there were 5 buttons but now I'm wondering if the ones that font do anything now are actually just there to fool us into thinking they're buttons!!!
I also noticed that its magnetic when I put it on my tin the other day. Hmmm....

afraid not
but maybe the key depends on whether you have a Tessarisis and/or a gold or black Tarka

I haven't opened my black Tess (or my gold one, for that matter), but I have a standalone Tarka, and it does have a key in it. I'm kind of suspecting that the gold Tess doesn't have a Tarka given that it sounds like a key is rattling around in there while the black one doesn't. Maybe someone else with both can verify?

I can verify, as I just opened my GOLD TESS tonight, that there is NO TARKA INSIDE! Just a key, but there is something connected to the Tarka.............

Ok, where are the Tarka clues? Not that the Tess clues made much help....
