SoulStorm ARG - 1029.io
If you look in 1029.io source code, every "E" and "D" is a capital.
And the number string that's hidden. Looks like there's more ARG to come: 33 74 73 83 51 Using the same method Nikit15 used, this gets BLFM3, which returns nothing from the chat box.

Oh well *follows* |
http://1029.io/8291.mp4
This video is on the url. Appears to be completely black. Anyone see anything? The chat box is gone. :'( I'm gonna miss that thing. |
I've got nothing just dark. ?
|
The letters "E" "T" "N" "O" are highlighted in the 1029 text.
|
We have some very low light static, so we might have to brighten the videohttp://i.imgur.com/JiGio7B.png

A few things to note on the 1029.io site:
. A string of numbers at the top of the source code: 33 74 72 83 51 . A video at this URL featuring our favourite number: http://1029.io/8291.mp4 This appears to be black, but why bother uploading it? . Within the source code, in the main body of text from the spirits of 1029, every instance of the letters "E" and "D" are capitalized. This is not visible on the standard page. . Previously, the letters "E" "T" "N" and "O" were seemingly randomly highlighted with the blue background that some of the words feature in the body of text. This has since disappeared. (It appears every time you reload the page, different words are highlighted in the text, as well as different sections of the "Spirit of 1029" logo.) . The quote from the ending of Oddysee is at the bottom of this source code to. "Well, I rescued Mudokons, but who's gonna rescue me?!" This could potentially mean there is more to do with the ARG. Or I may just be getting excited. We'll see what happens. |
Looks like we can't try anyting with the aswerbox and more. I'll be waiting for messages between Ed and SO 1029
My soul is ready for the storm! |

I tried with Sony Vegas. It's not a big edit , if there's someone that can do it better than me, would be helpful XD
|
i tried to put a big brightness too , but it's still incomprehensible.
|
:
Also worth noting, the numbers "8291" are hidden within the Spirit of 1029 logo. I believe these are absent in the Twitter account version of the image. I put a red dot to the right hand side of where each number appears: http://i.imgur.com/IA5BJib.png I don't think these things hidden on the 1029.io site are necessarily indicative of more steps in the ARG themselves, but they are cool to note down and could potentially have some relevance in the future. |
I love the look and feel of that site :D
To be fair I looked and I don't think there's anything hidden in that video 8291.mp4 file |
More brightness. And it's still a mess.
|
Shoot. I thought the mailing list would have had special links and stuff but it appears to just be Oddworld's regular mailing list.
|
Holy crap I missed a lot. Speaking of holy crap, go to 1029.io/8291
also 1029.io/ed comes up with a scrambled mess, looks like it needs to be converted again but I can't remember how that was done, something to do with UTF-8 |
Doesn't steganography work for videos too? (just throwing ideas around) mp3stego? :\
|
:
With regards to /ed, it 'aint UTF-8, but it's sure as hell something. Nice find! :D This gives me hope that there's still more to come from the ARG. Now to figure out how we decode it. Does anyone know? Or does anyone know of any groups on reddit or something that dabble with this sort of thing? Can't believe I didn't try any other URL's! +Rep for CleanShirt. http://1029.io/ed/spiritof1029.jpg links to a very basic version of the site homepage. Don't think it's significant and it seems to just be a mistake. (Putting anything after the /ed/ will create a basic version of the homepage. For example: http://1029.io/ed/spiritofmyterriblefarts |

That's... that's kinda freaky. Well done for decoding it. How did you manage it?
|
I went to Settings - Site Settings - Language - Auto-detect encoding (Chrome for Android) :) hah
|
:
Just to point out, if you take the string of numbers that are in the source code on the 1029.io homepage back through the map steps, I believe you come out with: VV ZW ZU AV XT. Meaningless, but I tried it so I thought I'd document it. |
Yeah, sorry I didn't go all all Alan Turing on yer ass... Although, he did fight the machine with another machine...according to this movie trailer I've seen.
|
What if we are The Spirit Of 1029?
|
:
Wait, what if THIS IS ED? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2dSa_Q0UE9w/hqdefault.jpg That would be one hell of a twist |

the video is actually the site's background

:
Taking those two pieces together, shouldn't we look at finding the direct links of the posts that are featured on the Ed page? I recognise my opening sentence for the first post about the SoulStorm ARG. I would do it myself but I don't have the time right now. :/ |
In regards to 1029.io/8291, the ONE time I say something not entirely positive about OWI.
I was wrong ok, Ed, this ARG is cool af. |
:
Maybe the post numbers are significant; that'd be far-fetched and highly coincidental but, damn, after the events which have preceded... I wouldn't put it passed them. The only thing about that idea is that 8291 doesn't seem to correlate with the post linked therein. What do you think the significance of that post was? |
:
So... how do we access our twitter account? :D Maybe there's an email & password to be figured out, hah! :
So... we need to look within ourselves? :goof: |
"8291" page updated and no longer redirects to post of STM
http://1029.io/8291/ EDIT: I guess the thing which we need here is in CSS, because color of numbers is :
color: #8291ed;:
font-family: 'Cousine'; |
Woah... 8291 has changed.
It's just giant numbers now... but the colour hex is #8291ed EDIT: Also 1029.io/ed links to his Twitter account now. |

OWI posted new message:
https://twitter.com/OddworldInc/stat...44243357679616 Note that piece of logo, marked green in my last post, highlighted again on their img. EDIT: Rainbow in background makes me to think of 1029.io/8291, where these numbers are colored with #8291ed color. Guess we have to color some highlighted codes which I talked about in my last post... EDIT2: :
*///* WE ARE THE SPIR *** 1-----029 *** E ARE MAN/Y. WE AR *** ILL R////ISE AGA ***/:
*///* WE ARE THE SPIR:
*** 1-----029:
*** E ARE MAN/Y. WE AR:
*** ILL R////ISE AGA ***/And the text for each piece must be encoded color or something. BTW, as somebody mentioned - symbol really reminds of Rupture Farms: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmHxOQzWIAA2aPu.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmH0Sk-WEAAlx9r.jpg As well, as colors pattern - from blue at top to rather red at bottom |
To me it's like simple version of Magog Cartel logo or Sekto. In any case it's octigi's menace
