On their Facebook page, that same image has a caption that reads "blinking???"

Simogo has noticed the detective work on Facebook! And they're challenging us! xD:
"The people at the toucharcade forums are digging deep, but they haven't found quite everything yet!"


I swear that when I look at the Lake Wary .gif on my browser, it blinks in a pattern. xD

I have this lingering feeling that when they mention blinking, they talk about Morse Code. They are no strangers to it mind you; on this blog post:

If you click on the image it lets you listen to an audio file, in Morse Code. I haven't the slightest idea how to decipher Morse Code, but I decided to try it out anyways. And a short Youtube tutorial later I get: SHESFG...xD (those are just the first few letter of the code I THINK I deciphered correctly). The rest is just a jumble to me.

I'm sure I'm totally off on that but if anyone knows how to decipher Morse Code to see if that is related at all to Game4...

lakewary.com now says "5".

Also:


Upon roll-over this image says "temptress". Also, she now has something in her hand that was not in the original image.

Great work! I'll try to dig deeper into this today. Just as I was about to give up hope... the audio file is also named esrom.mp3 so that is morse code backwards. The "one more than the watchers" means 6. There are 5 watchers. I also missed the FB clue that says "Man, a rag", which means "anagram", which is a reference to Lake Wary aka Year Walk.

I checked the animated gif again. The frames with the goat are at 3,20,33,45 and 49. I am not seeing an obvious pattern there.

*Update*

I downloaded a morse code audio to text translator...

It says "She sings and I shall follow".

I am guessing this has to do with the "temptress". Probably in reference to a game mechanic.

Still trying to figure out the hint from the speech:

-"If you try to bend the rules of the universe and open the rift that separates our world and what lies beyond it, there will be consequences."

Random images from the game's inspiration.

If you line up the letters of 'LAKE WARY' in the order in which they became animated in those 'xoutof9.gif's, they spell 'YEAR' up to now.
If I were to make a quick guess from here on, I'd say, the left-over letters only make up for a 'WALK'.
Which would leave us with 'YEAR-WALK'.
Anyone getting something out of this?

I literally just came to that conclusion right now as well. I think you are correct. It also makes sense with the phrase "She sings and I shall follow" and the reference to the title not actually being Lake Wary.

And.... Guess who owns the URL: http://www.yearwalk.com

Nice finding!
But after all those different spellings, I don't think that 'Year-Walk' is the final name yet.

Are there some other anagrams to be made out of 'LAKE WARY'?

Maybe it's about an alarm-clock come to life and so it's called 'Wake Lary!' ?!

I compiled all the images under the blinking letters.

Sweet finds guys! I'm getting all giddy now! xD

Thanks for the Morse translation! I was doing it old school with a friggin chart! Glad to know I wasn't THAT off! Haha

Really wish I weren't at work so I could help dig deeper. Day is going by so slow! Haha

It's the number 5:




Update:

I was browsing through their posts and stumbled upon this one:

http://simogo.com/blog/2012/07/05/fan-art-t-shirts/

Check out the faded letters right under the title.

It's a .gif and it reads: "Certain nights are not meant for us, Tonight is meant for them".


Going further back into the posts, specifically this one:

In the picture is a semi obscured book. A user by the name of Christoffer was kind enough to tell what it's about via a link to the book's description.

AAAAAAND....

Just for the hell of it, I decided to go farther back in their posts.

Can't believe this went unnoticed. This was way back in April. xD
