Soulstorm ARG - Title Sequence

The article on Oddworld.com seems to suggest there are things to find in the new video:
http://www.oddworld.com/2017/09/firs...us-back-story/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p0o2c4NGpk&t=7s

I had a look and found a code (attached) in it.

Let's see if we can find more


EDIT: found a new one, the text "1029.io" appears in the second shot on the left between the Magog Cartel Logo and the "SS.BREW" text

I found one, but I can't screenshot it right now. At 16 seconds, it says 'The storm is coming' on a pipe in the top right corner.

IIIO, it looks like... Perhaps it's half of a Mudokon test subject number?

At around the 4 second mark there is the number 8291 on the left hand side of the screen. But the 9 and the one could be 16 as the font looks inverted.

This icon at the 10 second mark disappears after the Mud's leg crosses in front of it.

This alphabet has been used in the ARG previously.

Made a key for the cipher in the newest pic.
Pretty sure the first word is "The". I'd decipher the rest but I have to go to work now.

Nice work!

Did anyone spot any other stuff in the video? Surely there's more than 5 hidden clues.

Also what should we do with that 1116 part?

I didn't want to make a new thread just for this, but has anyone noticed that the reflection in Abe's eyes on the wallpaper just released is much clearer than the black and white picture from last year? It's also the same reflection in Toby's eyes.



I don't think it is Necrum Temple like you mentioned Xavier. To me it looks like a hut in a coniferous forest, on fire. Perhaps the buildings from the title sequence?

It looks to me like that new Soul Storm brewery we saw that was in the middle of that Mudokon graveyard but on fire.

Okay, I went through the whole thing frame by frame and found a few things not mentioned before. Here's a collection of everything I found, including the new stuff:

https://imgur.com/a/oxsvq

8291, 1651, 1550, 1029.io, @magogcartel, and morse code which I think looks like this?

.--./.--...-...-../.-. ?? ...?? -.-.-

I might've missed something, so keep checking!!!

Oh also, as a side note, could this be Ed's report?? I jotted down the text while I was looking for clues:

Subject 011011ed

Erratik heart aktivity
Healthy oxygen levels
paranoid
enhanced disobedience

Maybe Ed is a ghost.....

Wow good eye!
Though if Ed has Healthy "oxygen levels" that might indicate that he still lives. Unless those raports are all past tense

Also, this isn't directly related to the clues, but I had a go at making a crappy mockup of the report we see in the beginning of the teaser, mostly because I wanted to know what it said
