I considered the stitches but based on the body angle I wasn't too sure. Has to be something we're missing considering OWI is essentially telling us to look closer.

I think the messages written on the photo are “who?”, “where?” and “so tired”. I wonder if that’s what OWI wants us to notice, so I’ve tweeted them.

e: it’s “010101BB”, not “101010BB”.

Maybe those are the question they want us to guess the answers for.

Who: Ed?
Where: ??

Well, in that case it translates to 21BB.

edit: Ok after some googling, i found out that U-21BB is unicode character. Clockwise open circe arrow. I dont think that it is relevant, but i just wanted t o share it

edit2: unless, they lowered the odds of some pieces showing up, and they want to tell us to refresh the page until we get something new(?)

I created my own reconstruction with high resolution and a bit of color correction. I also enhanced the contrast and sharpened the image a bit, although 1029-LY looks a bit out of place.

It also seems there's a third Mudokon peeking in 9394-AL.

Edit: Upload screwed up the quality, reuploaded...

If that's the case, I guess we already found that one. I mean, the mud's face didn't show up.

I don't know what we should do now. Maybe answering the questions will be enough, but how?

Me and MrsKJJ think picture looks suspiciously like the RuptureFarms Stockyards. The chain-link fence is iconic, and there appears to be a spotlight shining down from the top left corner. Considering this resistance force are calling themselves "The Spirit of 1029", it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to imagine them using the abandoned RuptureFarms as a base of operations.

Many people have already suspected this is Ed carrying what appears to be a warhead. Could they be preparing for war?

I'd say just hang in there for the next instructions. I think they're just giving it a bit of time before showing us the completed image, and then moving on to the next piece.

Initially, to me it looked like "BB" was holding a bomb of some kind, but looking at it again, I think i can see the handles of work tools? So it's like he's got his "uniform" or something belonging to his slave number wrapped around his tools, like a pack. There kinda looks like there's a handle too (in the smaller red square)

I think I can see the soulstorm brewery logo on the right side of 7393-AN

I showed the last 3 days of ARG to a friend who knows nothing about Oddworld yet and he said "Ed is in the factory, you must not have got everyone out?"

It's very possible that the Mudokons elsewhere are being lined up for a firing squad in this picture, after what happened in 1029. THAT is dark...

I agree about the work tools or something of the sort. I mean he looks frightened, his mouth isn't sewn shut nor are his eyes so maybe he's in line to go to the mines(against his will of course).

I don't really think they're preparing for war though. I mean originally Exodus was right after Oddysee right? I don't think the timeline would add up.

That image looks veeeeeery similar to this screenshot of RF

http://images.bit-tech.net/content_i...-1920x1080.jpg

Is there writing on 2384-ER? Something that starts with "W". Could be just creases on the paper though.

Well judging by the audio file we got, the firing squad idea is very plausible. Why else would there be Muds screaming over the RF alarms?

Compare our image and audio to how Nazi camps were run and it starts to make a lot of sense.

Dude, you might be onto something here.

It’s worth pointing out that those alarms are not only used in Rupturefarms, they’re present throughout the industrial facilities in Exoddus as well.

There were also fences in Necrum.

I doubt Spirit of 2019 would be going out of their way to show us pics from an already-defunct Rupturefarms – it’s more likely going to be Necrum.

Either way, The Magog Cartel could well firing squad Muds due to 1029. They don't want more to rebel, so they number the Muds and kill them systematically if they show signs of rebellion. It DOES add up...

EDIT- Also would explain why Ed is hiding and is scared of whatever is with him. He doesn't wanna get executed.

It’s possible, but I didn’t really get that from the audio – what I heard was crowds of Mudokons pleading for help, with sirens going off and regular bursts of electricity. That seems awfully similar to the Tear X-Tractors that were in the Brewery.

I'll be honest, it could well be that too. I haven't beaten Exoddus more than once, so I don't remember everything. Oddysee and N'n'T, though, I beat those 5 times between the two.

They've updated the site with a strange image. http://www.oddworld.com/soulstorm/

It seems like a piece that would fit between the two left-most ones.

First post: Im getting a vibe of the Slig barracks exterior from this picture, the barbed wire fence the possible bomb, I think i can make out large buildings in the air which are also present there.
Also if I remember right too I dont think there were many blind ones there so it would be possible that this Mudokon (Ed?) would be there.

Dang, if any of this ends up being accurate then SoulStorm is going to make New 'n' Tasty look like Sesame Street by comparison 😱

I love it

Agreed, I'll even happily buy a PS4 if it's exclusive.

I agree with This: This might be his first day on the job at the mines(post sewing the eyes shut). Those look like mining tools he is carrying.

As for the Numbers on his chest. Numbers are a good way of keeping track of a mud if one is traded or sent to another job. Given that mud's start working when they are children/mudlings. "BB" could have gone from Rupture farms to Nec mines prior to Abe shutting it down, which would explain how Alf knows him when they work in different places.

Of course he could also be on his way to be shot like mentioned above, with his belongings waiting to be claimed by the next worker after his.. termination.

Here are some things I found in the image
https://ibb.co/ibo3Fa

I think it's "Where ?" The final curl is the same curl as the ? in the "Who?".


Thinking the same, some kind of shovel or drill->mining tools?

5574-PH + 9394-AL also look like the neck and shoulders of another Mudokon?

Are they in line or in some courtyard wondering what is happening to them? Waiting to be processed and be thrown into the Necrum mines?

Hey all! New member here. Was intrigued by this ARG game even though I'm terrible at them. But an extra set of eyes never hurt, right?

I wanted to point out because I don't believe anyone mentioned it: I can see a Mud holding a bucket (?) in 5574-PH. It's just a hand, but I can clearly make out a thumb gripping something. Seems like our Mudokon pal isn't alone.

Furthermore, very intrigued by the Alphanumerically message from the photo IDs. Has anyone been looking into that?

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm very bad at ARGs too, but I am very good at having crazy ideas and getting excited.

Have fun!

Huh?! Am i blind? Are my Eyes stitched? I don't see a new One. Can u post it in?

Since everyone Posting what they see, i tried too figuring more out about it. Here is what i see on the Pictures.

9394-AL: There is a Face on it. Look's like a Mudokon to me. Could be Ed or some1 from 1029. He seem to be out of Place. It's right above the Hand from the Slave-Mudo.
2384-ER: I'm sure as Hell, i can see a really big Glukkon Face on it. But it seems to be a Statue. Also under it, there is a Train!
9455-UM: Here is also a part of the Train.
7676-AL: I'm not sure about this Picture. It's hard to see, but i think there is only a Cliff here.
5574-PH: I can see a Mine Waggon on it.
9455-UM: E: Okay, no Rocket. So Working tools?! Woah, so he is a new Slave for work.
7393-AN: I'm sure it's a kind of an fuse/fuze !

If i think about the 1st Picture we have & the Sound Clip we have..we must combine it with this Picture. The Wire behind the Mudokon seem's to be under electricity(the Sound!). In the Letter stands something like "Testing something new" - the Bomb ?! :D But, what doing with it? :fuzconf:

E: So the Mudokon comes with the Train from the Breed-Station(FREE SAM!) to work for the Glukkons. So the Lore hasn't changed much, huh? Even the Background looks like the Dust, where Abe and his Plas walked to come into the Factory. But are they still diggin' Bones?

I'm pretty sure that every time I visited the site before, the picture shown behind the lock was 1029-LY.

Am I wrong? If so, apologies.

It's probably not very helpful, but I've connected part of the picture using some of the easiest outlines to identify around the Mudokon. I was hoping to get a better idea of what he's carrying since they've hinted that we should try to identify it, but I'm still not sure what to make of it.

The lights, rocky outcrops, back-lighting and fencing give a Necrum Mines feel, so perhaps he is carrying bones? Although there is indication of reflective surface toward the pointy end, so I'm also on board with the mining equipment idea :).

The "peeping Mudokon" face is odd, it appears to be behind the fence but the right side of his face shows through the the fence post??

Hoping I've managed to attach the picture properly!

Very nice work! Also I like the idea of him possibly carrying bones but is it just me or does it look a little too big to Mud bones?

Good sketch!! Maybe the hidden mud id ED and the main mud is just another slave called BB?

Maybe its like an explosive mining charge of some kind? I think archaeologists use something like it, like from the beginning of one of the Jurassic Park movies... great drawing, too!!!

This is actually a pretty interesting take on things. I never really considered the possibility that Ed's name was actually derived from his ID as 'Mudokon E-D'. And that would fit nicely with the code on the other Mudokon's chest (Mudokon B-B).

It could be ED spying but he does seem to be going through the fence a bit. Could this be one of the mudokon spirits/weirdos?
Abe can become invisable but I'm positive it's not Abe.

If it's Ed it explains the last tweet he posted a few days back

Hope he's ok

I've seen a couple of comments saying that the location of the picture could be the Stockyards of Rupture Farms. Now, although the majority of Rupture Farms was destroyed at the end of Oddysee/New 'n' Tasty, there was one location which might have survived. I am referring of course, to the mysterious 'Zulag 5'. In a secret area of the Stockyards in N'n'T, a train tunnel can be found which leads to Zulag 5. However, we never get to visit the Zulag, and therefore never free the Mudokons that worked there. Perhaps this Mudokon has some affiliation to the illusive Zulag? Just a little theory I had.

Just the latest OWI tweet:

I personally think the peeping face is just 2 bolts on the fence that do admittedly look like eyes. Guess we'll find out when we see the cleaned up image though :D
