Something quite important actually, early on in the ARG, 0451.jpg was an image used. Perhaps there's meant to be a 1 on the end? Here's the old image: http://oddworld.com/soulstorm/0451.jpg
E: Whoops double post
I've gotta run but good luck guys
Do you think this image has something to do with the current URL puzzle? I tried typing "ED" instead of "IMG045" etc, but still nothing...
Still, I'm not sure it's a coincidence that the img is numbered "045" ...
Hello everyone, I decided to try to help out as much as I can by adding another brain to the mix. I got on this forum today and took a few hours to read and reread the thread. I apologize for not being able to throw in anything incredibly significant yet BUT earlier whilst trying to think outside the box I went to the Soulstorm page on the Oddworld site and viewed the page source.
and I found this:
16 _ 37 _ 58 _ 89 _ 145 _ 42 _ ?? _ 4
|_________________<_________________|
its the same sequence that has been being discussed from the audio file (I know that someone figured out that the missing number was 20).
I also went into the page source of the 1029.io page and found this about midway through the page:
" Well, I //--/ED Mudokon/. But who// _____ r///u/ //? "
Probably not very helpful to the current situation but maybe part of the bigger picture?
Also, I apologize for being new to this forum, first forum I've ever joined honestly but I thought it was for a good cause, this is one of my favorite series of all time.
"You have signalled your willingness to help. Now you must prove yourself. Our efforts to get a clear data stream have been in vain. You will have to piece together the image from these fragments. Help us to expose this latest crime against Mudokonkind."
"When you have a complete image, show it to @OddworldInc. They appear willing and capable. Recruit others to help you find and share the pieces. There’s a storm coming. Be the storm. We will rise."
The image is titled 5574-PH.JPG just in case that number is important
