I agree with Dawlthy, where was 'Subjectivism' supposed to lead us?

Not to forget the fact that we had been sitting on about 4 other answers as well -- all of which seem to be dead ends apparently.

But without that message we would just have the word subjectivism and nothing to use it on... Was that intended to be sent from the start?

I would like to know for sure, but maybe they were originally planning to wait to post it until the grid was solved. Maybe it wasn't expected to have the key guessed from just the cipher, as the tweet did suggest we would need the key first.

But mostly I just feel sick of looking at grids now :fuzgrin:

Don't get me wrong, you answered another part of the puzzle. Defo credit where it's due!

But now we have:

8992
8554
73
BACKBREAKING
SUBJECTIVISM

and maybe 57...


What are we expected to do with all this?

Rest assured the Grid is almost over some guy has solved most of it

Wow I'm impressed you guys found the subjectivism key.

I updated the wiki with what I understood, feel free to edit it:
http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Souls...d_transmission

Also I removed the whole part about "backbreaking" since it seems it wasn't really relevant to the puzzle.

But yeah I agree with Vince, what are we supposed to do with 8992, 8554 and 73?

You guys did awesome on the puzzle! I'm so glad that part at least is all set :)

But yeah, there are still a few loose threads on this one. But there have been some from earlier puzzles too, right? Like that other number puzzle that was in the source code from the first image and gave us 12 and 20, I don't think that was ever used for anything...
And we never did find out what the E=5OUEHRA? thing was about either. Maybe these will be important for something later. Maybe there will be a puzzle later that we'll have to look back at all the previous clues to figure out xD

Looks like someone solved it while I was taking a break, anything new to help with?

Welcome back :). Looks like we are at a loose end for the minute it's all gone rather quiet :confused:

Thank you!

No new images with clues?

Xavier 02-11-2017 09:48 PM

Nope we are still trying to find out what we are supposed to do with the 8992, 8554 and 73 clues.

Or maybe have we will have to use them in one of the next puzzles.

tmakz 02-12-2017 04:22 AM

Quiet atm maybe until next week will be updated

Manco 02-12-2017 05:02 AM

ARG updates don’t generally happen on weekends, so it’ll be Monday at the earliest before we hear something.

Monday OWI time...

Vince 02-23-2017 04:14 AM

Bit of a necro but...
Is the ARG still a thing? We've only finished 2 out of 5 images... but everything has been dead for nearly 3 weeks now.

I'm almost sure they preparing next puzzles for us. What interests me more is when release date will be announced and what it will be? Summer, Autumn? If game suddenly comes out in spring, this will be great!

Guys, cut OWI some slack!
