The videos has little squares appearing at the end when it's glitching. I don't have my computer with me so I can't look much further into it.

It's just the same writings going everywhere on the screen

And the source code of the 8291 link says:

Also the comments in the 8291 page are amazing, you can really feel the Mud snap

These squares?

Not seeing anything significant to them just now, but it’s odd they’re present…

OWI_Alex 03-14-2017 09:30 AM

*grin*

Xavier 03-14-2017 09:31 AM

Could it be that we simply need to count the number of squares?

Didn't notice that. Nine squares, we got the number 9 so is this somehow related to another link? Or to 1029 or Asset99? Or are the squares another hidden code?

tmakz 03-14-2017 09:37 AM

Hmm so , 9 squares what could it be?

Xavier 03-14-2017 09:38 AM

Pretty sure I saw a frame with 8 squares, could simply be 8291 again :)

Nemin 03-14-2017 09:38 AM

Well it's definitely an 'odd' number. :)

tmakz 03-14-2017 09:53 AM

So i noticed there was a bit missing from the first square so does that mean anything?

TopHattedTime 03-14-2017 10:29 AM

uhh.. I'm really sorry, but could someone explain how you got the 8291 link? Where did that number come from?

Connell 03-14-2017 10:40 AM

The stuff in the source code of /whatifwetoldyoutoo is from a while back when the ARG was is a down period. OWI released some art from Stranger and Oddysee on Facebook and Twitter and stuff like "BELIKEDET" appeared in the background.

There are other 3 frames after that and yes, the count is 8 2 9 1.

The 8 2 9 1 digits can be found in the homepage: http://www.1029.io/. In the 1029 ascii logo, there are those 4 digits there to see, 9 and 1 close to the bottom. I have no idea if it also came somewhere else, I'm quite new to this ARG.


Also, hi all, I'm new around here :)

Xavier 03-14-2017 11:05 AM

Hi Varstahl, welcome to the forums :)

Thanks for checking out and confirming that the number of squares are indeed "spelling" 8291.

Is there anything else we should look at in this video? The audio perhaps?

HTML_Earth 03-14-2017 11:09 AM

Anyone have a clue what ###BELIKEDET### is supposed to mean?

Varrok 03-14-2017 11:11 AM

Be like... det?

Be liked, ET?

Be like Ed would be a stretch.

Oh you're right, good job. So it's probably a signature of the 8291 guy.
And welcome!

Sounds like the audio is the same of the one we got from the first transmission. The only difference is that we hear only one voice instead of multiple ones, and that must be the one from the mud going nuts.
I have a theory about this one, maybe someone figured it out before too:
The mudokons we hear in the first audio are in somekind of asylum or prison, and they're costantly analyzed by vykkers due to some problems and instabilities they have. The mud in the video for example is for sure the one from the third photo, and in that image there was a tag saying "subject instable". This kinda help to confirm my theory.

I thought it could be "Be like them", but like varrok suggested "Be like ed" is a valid option too.

And if you guys haven't checked yet, the Soulstorm main site changed again. They added the video on it and they wrote:
"More photos await to be sent to us by 1029, and then unlocked and decrypted by the community. What horrors will they show? Stay tuned to this page, Facebook and Twitter for updates as we get them, and please contribute in any way you can to solving the puzzles!"

Gunnr 03-14-2017 11:33 AM

Oh man, if we keep getting video clips along with decrypting the pics, I think I can hold out until a release date is announced. This just keeps getting better, thanks owi, it's lookin' so great! :D

tmakz 03-14-2017 11:38 AM

Yup the vid is now on the main site of soulstorm man we neeeeeed pic 4!!!!!

Please stop spamming this thread with memes no one gets.

Be like Varrok, create good memes and post them somewhere else:

I hope they can do the 4th transmission straight away or very soon

Hi Varstahl, welcome to the forums :)
Is there anything else we should look at in this video? The audio perhaps?

I tried analysing the clip frame by frame, but other than the 8291 I found nothing else.

As for the audio, I wasn't here before so I can't really compare it against other audio files, but I didn't seem to find anything too out of place in the waveform or its spectrum. The voice is a bit out of sync, and there definitely is asynchronous noise going around, so I subtracted the L and R channels, cleaning it up a bit, but even then I didn't find much, if anything.


In regard to what's happening in the video, once we take in consideration what we found around the 1029.io sections, I think it's pretty clear the poor rebel muds are getting brainwashed and/or experimented upon, the poor things.

Shade_Meadows 03-14-2017 02:19 PM

Well, Sister is in the computer now (borrowing in her time to see new developments and)
I CALLED IT!
I WAS RIGHT! HA!...

Well, you all agreed with me... but i am happy none-the-less!
:)
Well, i just feel stupid not to figure out alone!

I'm sorry, I might have been a bit too harsh on you there.

I was shown the knowyourmeme page and now see what you did there.

But please let's keep this thread clean and focused on the ARG investigation

Just posted the link from Spirit of 1029 apparently they said "you have all you need Follow the numbers Find the Truth so now what?

Shade_Meadows 03-14-2017 07:33 PM

I don't know if people already cracked the code and i'm WAY behind, but was trying to decipher this and... woah, i think there is more than one language and its giving me a headache XD
where is the guy that deciphered the Photo3 Code?

Edit: Wait... last time it was backwards right? AHHHHH, Back again

V_O_T 03-14-2017 08:44 PM

Insane Mudokons as well as blind, sick, happy, sad and angry.. I bet these ones are going to be able to lash out and kill you in this game.

The alphabet OrangeLightning used is attached to this post: http://www.oddworldforums.net/showpo...&postcount=255

Nemin 03-15-2017 01:33 AM

First, no need to feel bad, i moderate another site and i know, that if sometimes you don't do something slowly all hell breaks loose.

Secondly, the alphabets doesn't seem to match. The first rune could be an N, but then the second one? Maybe characters from the other alphabets must be used.
