Any data within the original image? Just riding this "use what you can't see" train all the way to the end.

After that "hard breathing" thing, I saw enough for today. We used what we can't see to see some hella creepy shit :eek:
Edit: I seriously don't know what else we can get from that quote. I think it was helpful only to find the image we have now.

Actually, now that you point it out, doesn't it kinda look like there's a tunnel entrance in the top left corner?

Yeah it does, with something around it but it may be the photo that's a little ruined.
I don't know what else we can get from this image.

Has anyone tried listening to the image in a midi transposer yet

Granitehead96 04-27-2017 12:56 PM

I can try it in a bit

Granitehead96 04-27-2017 05:52 PM

ummmmmm, I don't think midi was the right step......

Hello everyone!

I've been lurking this page a long time and think the work you all do is amazing!!!!!

Honestly I don't understand how you do it!

My only thoughts on the subject are so far... I'm so sorry if they aren't useful, I'm new to forums In general!!

So exodus is the (legendary) game that took 9 months to make, and soulstorm is (hopefully!!) going to be the full story! As we've been seeing this with Vyykers labs.

Remember the gases? In exodus they were more of an obstacle so that you could save the mudokens but from the images they are coming across as more of a form of control, I've also noticed a constant theme of testing (see picture 3 soul storm strain 100101bh) I don't know but I feel like the mudoken in the new image is having the gases tested on him as a form of control, which one ends up with the desired result.

On further note my sister transferred the image into negative, she works in an alternative antique shop and straight away pointed out that the gas mask is capped, where there should be a tube it is infact capped, don't know if this helps but it might make "breathe" make sense.

Also is there a chance of a reflection in the eye in the negative, could be clutching at tiny straws.

Furthermore, if the game isn't released on the 29th of October I'll be so sad!

BACK AFTER WEEKS!
PC Broke!
OH GOODIE! SO MUCH STUFF!
Also that "Mask" side-hole, can be used to connect to a gas hose of some kind...
this is reminding me of nazi experiments... and looking back to the other pics, that's not a weird thing to remember

Could these letters mean anything?
 
So i have collected some letters which randomly appear on the site,could they put something togheter i wonder now?

Xavier 04-27-2017 09:51 PM

:

The logos are arranged such that on the left side of the logos going down, it spells out "HELP"
Taking the lowercase letters, you spell out "mask"
And the rightmost letter on the logos can spell out "STOP"
And then the remaining capital letters in the logos spell out "DON'T LET US DIE"

Good Work Everyone!!! This pic is so diffrent if i recall remember the laughning Gas which was a yellow colour and if the muds breathed it in they would go slapstick crazy so i wonder if they being tested to diffrent types of Gas?

Vanilla ✜ 04-28-2017 12:45 AM

I can't help but wonder what kind of gas they are using and why? It can't be to kill them because to them it would be a waste of labor and resources, maybe it's to try and make them more docile?

Vyrien 04-28-2017 01:30 AM

Sprout gas

Merzenarie 04-28-2017 02:09 AM

What could those 4 numbers mean? The 8 2 9 1?

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that was a thing from when the website was first found.

tmakz 04-28-2017 03:02 AM

it sure is

Wiki is up to date:

I'm not feeling too well so it might not be my best work ;)

Nemin 04-28-2017 04:59 AM

It's totally fine man, you did a great job as always.

JtCorscadden 04-28-2017 06:19 AM

I like the idea that the gas masks are used in the mines. I remember a post on the forums not that long ago where someone theorised that in Soulstorm they were going to get rid of the exploding farts and make it so that the brew itself was flammable. Maybe going along the same lines of change the laughing gas will be changed to a toxic gas, so the gas masks are needed for Abe and Mudokons to pass through/work in certain areas?

Also is it just me or does it look like the Mudokon in the pic has something really wrong with its eyes? It looks all puffy/swollen right below the eye, maybe a sign that it has undergone the tear extraction procedure?

The eyes do look swollen but not in this image, to me anyway. The eyes look swollen in the picture with a mud in a chamber, but do remember that mud eyes do naturally pop out a little bit.

Nemin 04-28-2017 07:25 AM

Looks like we have already done the bulk of this part.
The site says, that Picture 4 is "Decrypted, available soon".

Vanilla ✜ 04-28-2017 07:30 AM

awww yeeeeah, can't wait!

Granitehead96 04-28-2017 08:08 AM

Damn we got that one fast

That means only one picture left.....

cdgoodwill 04-28-2017 08:43 AM

I might be useful to just have a list of every important number/word that we have. e.g. 8291, hiibheed, pada, etc.

Shade_Meadows 04-28-2017 10:16 AM

Woah... this was the quickest decipher i have ever seen in this ARG!
Can't wait!

Gunnr 04-28-2017 10:37 AM

I wonder how they are going to stretch this arg into 2018...?

Wircea 04-28-2017 11:44 AM

They probably won't.

And if they will, well, we are going to wait a lot for every single clue.

Granitehead96 04-28-2017 12:53 PM

Im pretty sure the expected release is sometime in Q3/Q4 this year which would put it anywhere in between July to december

what if it released on 10/29

That would be a nice reference! And I guess we need to wait till the end of the ARG to see how all this will affect the actual game.
Almost close to the true, people! Let's be patient!

Silver angel 04-28-2017 01:31 PM

I will be very glad if they release game this year. What I've seen so far was incredible. I never saw so realistic games before, in all seriousness.

Shade_Meadows 04-28-2017 01:53 PM

I don't think the game will release this year, but maybe the ARG end will lead us to the release date! (or at least a trailer)
But i can be wrong, for all we know, this ARG is leading to the game itself

Granitehead96 04-28-2017 03:05 PM

maybe the arg will continue after the 5th picture

Xavier 04-28-2017 07:44 PM

Lorne officially confirmed that the game was pushed to 2018 at the end of this video.

That just means that the ARG will have to last a bit longer. It hasn't always been about screenshots, the first part of the ARG was actually about meeting @edmudokon and finding the 1029.io website.

So I'm sure OWI will come up with something else to keep us busy when the 5 pictures have been revealed. :)

Gunnr 04-28-2017 09:09 PM

Should those videos get their own thread? I know the dont really talk about SS or OW much at all but Lorne's in them soo...?
(Sorry to derail the topic further)

To get back on topic, we are currently waiting for the 4th photo to become available on the ow ss site page then, yes?

Edit: OWI tweeted: We'll get to work cleaning up the image you found. Nice job, everyone! (link: http://www.1029.io/pneuma/) 1029.io/pneuma/

tmakz 04-30-2017 06:49 PM

So now 2018 aww oh well it does line up with 1998 since exoddus was released back then and yay pic 4 is getting decrypted already

Vanilla ✜ 05-02-2017 12:35 AM

If you think about it, 2018 isn't all that far away. We're almost at the half way point of this year already. I wonder if they'll be doing any pre-order stuff this time.

Teaser of a teaser!
This was posted by OWI_Bernice on the Official Discord

Well, whaddya think?

Phoetux 05-02-2017 08:41 AM

That's some NSFW stuff right there!

Silver angel 05-02-2017 09:21 AM

Textures of new game is total insanity! Every photo like screenshot is a candy for my eyes. Soulstorm is my favorite game already, just because of this.

Syphyous 05-02-2017 11:44 AM

Ok, so far I have this from the black line binary going vertically up.

"nger. We'll rise. Spread the word."

I can't see anything before that, it doesn't look like enough for another letter. (Only three digits.)
