Although nothing is technically canon until it is stated within the universe. ;)

So...I was half wrong? (hmm) haha

I love UnderTheSun's idea. The mudokons themselves were always kind of a 'collectible' in a way, but that addition would be a really nice source of lore for fans and in a way that adds a nice challenge and more replayability!

E: I also love emmarose's interpretation! I do think 8291 will end up being a factory number like 1029 was for Rupture Farms.. "where" and "8291" on the same image make me think they're related, and they look like they're being hauled to some factory/labor camp

8291 is just the image number for abe.

Proof.

So in otherwords, 8291 means abe

HOMINIX 01-25-2017 12:37 PM

How is that proof that 8291 means Abe? 8291 has appeared a lot of places in this ARG

Well, its more proof then not backing up my statement!
But true, no confirmation.

Im still not sure it is 8291 in the image

Oddsville 01-25-2017 12:59 PM

It may have already been posted, or maybe it doesnt matter. Has anyone noticed that the two letters that are with the numbers of the previous torn image spell "alpha numerically"?

Like I said, maybe its not a big deal but wanted to throw in my two cents.

Quoted from 'ThemanonMudos' on page 13. On a tablet now, so im limited to my editing on the forum.

"I've tried assigning each number to a letter of the alphabet and got this:


AL-9394 PH-5574 AN-7393 UM-9455 ER-2384 IC-3786 AL-7676 LY-1029
= ICID EEGD GEIC IDEE W HD CGHF GFGF J BJ

Not sure if there's an anagram to be made here or if I'm on completely the wrong track. (Note: the 'W' and 'J' are from the numbers '23' and '10')"

Hey all!

Not that it matters much now, since they are revealing the clean image tomorrow, but just for fun I thought I'd share my finished interpretation of the half cleaned pic with hidden clues we've found so far :p. Can't wait to see how totally off I am! :D

Holy crap, that's awesome!!! :D you did such a good job!

mattb150 01-25-2017 02:01 PM

Since I can't wait patiently for Thursday and I wasn't around if/when the reflections in Abe's eyes were discussed, here's a little image I made. Any thoughts?

https://i.imgur.com/5IrE0zw.png

I also find it interesting that the filename of Abe's face is the only one that doesn't follow suit with the others. The chest image, chestfull.jpg, the hand handfull.jpg, Abe's face... ABEFACE_8291.jpg. It seems a little odd.

From what I've seen on the thread and other places, I figure it's the unit name for one of the places Abe goes to, e.g. RuptureFarms 1029

Ran each letter through an anagram decoder and it returns the word Alphanumerically. Obviously a word, but what is its purpose?

EDIT: Perhaps we're to use the digits in the name of each photo i.e 3786 and correspond them with their alphanumeric value? i.e A=1 B=2 C=3 or something?

Quoting these since I missed this when it was first posted, and I think it got overlooked. I think we’ll need to remember this for a puzzle in the near future, as I don’t think there’s anything we can do with it now? Good catch.

So did anyone figure out if these letters mean anything?

https://pbs-0.twimg.com/media/C3DtlX5UoAAtV3E.jpg

If you take all the number and make letters you get

A-BI BCHD CGHE EEGD GCIC GFGF ICID IDEE

Looks like a code for a online serivce of some sort like PSN or Steam.

If we add in the other letter with it

A-BILY BCHDER CGHEIC EEGDPH GCICAN GFGFAL ICIDAL IDEEUM

So I appear to get a different translation to others

And if you reverse cipher

Z-YQ LY YXRW ER XSRT IC VVSW PH SXQX AN STST AL QXQW AL QWVV UM

If you take the PNG letters you can spell

" I can hear AL my i" or "my, I can hear AL UP" or something along those lines or "All Ya, I can hear nicmn"

Funny it can also spell "Alphanumeric, Yall"

Oddsville 01-25-2017 04:39 PM

Also apparently 0451, the number sequence in the image links, is a code used in several video games. Guess it started in the game Deus Ex and is in reference to the book Fahrenheit 451.

tmakz 01-25-2017 06:54 PM

Hey Guys out of Abe's Exoddus the Story was very rich in Detail back in 1998 Exoddus really took oddworld to another like the simple quiksave which we didnt have in oddysee so yeah but Exoddus really did change the game seriously most games owe it to oddworld for inspiration like no another.

Gunnr 01-25-2017 07:46 PM

I can't wait to see what we got right and most importantly what we missed or haven't figured out yet :) and we still have 4 more to figure out!

Pohatta 01-25-2017 09:48 PM

Exciting day ahead.

I wonder how much longer we have to wait now... it's been 1h since the message asking us if we were ready.

Ah, correct about the glukkon overseer :D Looks amazing!

Notice '110110BC' vertically, far left in the dark area

Also two other strings of numbers/letters;

vertically next to the three lines, that looks to be possibly 100BB0BB

and another horizontally, bottom right. Could be 01010BB0, or perhaps 010100BB? I can't quite tell!

You are right! Could this be the start of the trail for the second picture?

I've been having a look - I think the three number sequences we can see in the picture now are all different.

One says "110110BC" - I'm absolutely certain of it
Another says "010100BD" - I'm not 100% sure of the last letter
and the third starts with: "100......." but then I can't make out the rest

Squire 01-26-2017 06:46 AM

Hey guys, been watching this ARG since the start and wanted to congratulate you all on the first uncovering of a photo! I'm not much help to you having seen your skill levels, but I'll do my best to give my input from now on.
