Dear lord they're so strikingly obvious now! Ha. Is it decimal code? Not sure how it works but it's something I saw again yesterday.

Guys I found a set of numbers in the picture, if you look on the left side of the greyish bar in the middle you can see: 14 15 19 19 10 16 17. Don't know if this mean anything yet but it's there.
Edit: Nvm, didn't see that it was already posted sorry.

there is a dot before the last 3 numbers which are
10 16 7
i think is translated (by letter order) to
.jpg

the first part is translated to noss,
oddworld.com/soulstorm/ed/noss.jpg leads nowhere
maybe we need to find something to replace the hyphens before

/noss.jpg returns nothing. Here's a table for reference.

Which other images have had numbers in them? Or potentially had numbers we've missed.

I’ve got it!

rzil is totally right, there’s a dot which makes the message end in .JPG

The numbers are 14 5 19 19 10 16 7

When switched with the corresponding letter in the alphabet, you get:

N E S S J P G

There’s also a series of dashes before the numbers, difficult to make out, but there.

So...

can "no ss" mean "number (No.) of Soulstorm brewery"?
EDIT: nevermind

Connell 04-08-2016 10:27 AM

Well done Manco, you've cracked it! Again we're fiddling round being one letter off, ha. Well done to everyone.

I was really hoping the task was going to be something active we could get involved with though, like a task within N'n'T or Exoddus. Bit disappointed, but glad we've got another one down :D

Manco 04-08-2016 10:29 AM

On the plus side, at least we’ll probably unlock another task after this.

Connell 04-08-2016 10:32 AM

Very true! I never realised how much I could enjoy an ARG on the whole. It's exactly my sort of thing. It's great to see them put so much effort into it as well.

I wonder if they can tell when someone has accessed the .JPG? Or maybe they just come and check here to see if we're done yet ;) The website hasn't automatically unlocked piece 3 on the site so I'd assume it works on a manual communication.

By the way, they currently have 43,649 likes.

Maybe update the main thread? but yeah 45K is not far away.

Pirfsich 04-08-2016 11:09 AM

You are too fast for me.
Well done!

Connell 04-08-2016 12:10 PM

Piece 3 is now an "O". Well done guys, now it's the waiting game until the next piece / 45K :)

Maybe update the main thread?

Please do, I've been checking it for updates, only to find them all here. I'm on mobile myself so...

I'm glad my direction pointing got us to the right place. And now to wait for the next piece.
