That’s not really in the spirit of things.
|
It's totally in the spirit of things!
|
The thingy doesn't respond to Aslik, Dripik, or Phleg, so now I wonder if we'll be getting some new villains.
E: And on a whim, I tried Sekto. More gibberish. LA*EP R*,R* EAEO***SPTYSRE |
I'm starting to think that those gibberish replies, really are just gibberish.
|
Possibly.
"Can you hear me?" results in "YES, FAINTLY." I gotta say, I know this is just code, but it's still just a little bit creepy. Creepy in a cool way, though, just like Oddworld should be. |
Found something new
HEALING -> WE NEED MORE FUNDING FOR MODOKAID GET ME OUTTA HERE -> NO, REALLY, GET ME OUT OF HERE - nothing special here BIG-FACE -> NICE MASK, BOZO! HOW ARE YOU? -> HOW DO YOU THINK? |
OPEN SESAME -> WRONG MYTHOLOGY, SCHMUCK
|
Aw man, I had tried Big Face earlier, but I didn't know it had a dash in it.
|
I think somebody said this before but
WHO ARE YOU - IT'S BEEN SO LONG, I CAN'T REMEMBER Guessing it might be some of the restless Necrum spirits. |
So I made an account just to post this, because I dunno if anyone else has come across it yet.

shrykull - WHO IS YOUR CURRENT ENERGY PROVIDER?

When I put in "munch", it came up with:
*** GNRCRE RFNRYC, LEEBF *** and the exact same message, but backwards. I didn't see anything for it on the list, (and because of that list, I know that the picture I posted is a bit invalid. Sorry about that.) so I figured I could mention it. |
Damn it, I don't look for one day and this happens :p. This is so cool!
Thank you Manco for maintaining the list. I'm trying to recover my account on the oddworld wikia to create a page there with all the answers for easy reference. |

Damn, you people work quick. I've created a dedicated page for the ARG details on the Wikia, so feel free to collect and sum up all the information you can find in there. You should be able to edit without an account.
|
Another response: [ERROR] Most likely a generic response, but I received it by typing “addicted”.
|
I think I might've actually found something this time.
I typed in "how can abe find you" and i got the response of "*** WE'VE HEARD OF HIM, CAN YOU SEE HIM? ***" I also typed in "have you heard of abe" and I got "***ABE?***" |
:
“abe” on its own gave me: *** ABE? *** (and scrambled/coded variations of. Fun fact: Abe backwards and ciphered is RON) AGH YRFANOBFCFESQ] BR[VF URBVZ-XBER G --> NTU LESNABOSPSRFD] OE[IS HEOIM-KORE T --> [THIS FORM IS BROKEN - PLEASE DO NOT USE] They seem to have changed some of the responses to use square brackets instead of asterisks. Another new generic response: *** HBL ENRU ANP V GHO - BUPR AN F'RERUG *** ---> *** THERE'S AN ECHO - BUT I CAN HEAR YOU *** edit: another: *** SORRY, SAY AGAIN? *** |
I just got that new generic one. And whenever I mention Abe at all, it keeps coming up with that question.
edit: Also, [ERROR] and its variations are popping up a lot. |
Has anyone thought about the potential that some of the astetisked responses form part of a longer excerpt? I was just wondering if some responses might go together to form a longer piece of text.
|
FEECO DEPOT gives [OUT OF SIGHT], but im guessing thats probably one of the generic messages
EDIT: ALF gives JUST ONE MORE DROP, unciphered and reversed |

Hello everyone,
I've been following the thread since it has starded and you did a great job so far. I have just created an account because i've stumbled upon that while i was trying to find new things to decypher with the form. http://i.imgur.com/8gkaSDq.jpg?1 I suppose it appears no matter what you write at your 75th attempt because the picture's name is attemptnumberseventyfive.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2jWoBmC.jpg?1 There is certainly something hidden in that picture but I still don't know what, I'm sure one of you will have an idea. (and I hope it works for you, i'm not an expert at posting and uploading stuff...) |
Wow! Very interesting! Thanks for your contribution!
|
Cool! I wonder how it's crypted
|
I tried so hard to figure out what the 75 thing was.
If you look at the source code for the page, you'll see "attempt number 75" at the top. I'm glad I was actually onto something with that. Good job, man. I'm going to try resampling it with Harmor and messing around with it in PS. I'm on my phone right now so if someone wants to try changing the file type that might be a good shout. |
The image is solved, it leads to here.
|
I see "spirit of"
Also, how did he find that? EDIT: Notice how this whole page looks like it was written on an old mobile keypad. The spacing of the letters and shit. |
i see also "find me" and "rescue me"
|
The key to understanding the image is to squint your eyes looking at it.
I actually can't, but a friend of mine did figure it out. It says the name of the file. |
if you see closely somewhere there's a "0451.jpg".
Then i wrote "oddworld.com/soulstorm/0451.jpg" And i got this: http://oddworld.com/soulstorm/0451.jpg |
http://www.oddworld.com/soulstorm/0451.jpg
Edit: damn it SgabbitGabbiar beat me to it. The text file also contains findme hear me rescue me spirit of #RF |

We could try to move the "glitched parts" of the image back to place, maybe the remaining parts are gonna tell us something |
It's the Brewery.
|
I noticed that Googling 0451 gave some really interesting references to other games like Bioshock and Deus Ex.
Hmmm... Is there some significance to this number? |
:
|
I'm pretty sure Lorne Lanning mentioned Pink Floyd as being is favourite band, in one of his GDC interviews.
|
I didn't notice that it was so obvious until I looked at it again.
