Just because on the wiki it is listed as a hoax doesn't make it true. Wiki's are some of the worst places to base claims on since anybody can edit it. In the hype of the situations lately, someone probably, as you said earlier, jumped to conclusions and changed it.
As for this cipher, I can tell you that it's not a Caesar Cipher (at least, not one in English) as the sentence above in the single character spot, making it "a" or "I" does not work in that particular method.
Oh, and looking to Kerkhoff for salvation gave me this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerckhoffs%27s_principle

Oh i know. I never once thought Depth was a Hoax. I actually tried changing the wiki entry to reflect that but someone changed it back to being just a "Hoax". I Can't wait to make those false rumor starters eat their words with some salt. I was trying to do some damage control, as Thomas Grip never said Depth was a Hoax.... just that no official announcement was made (which is true). And of course, someone ran with that and put teeth in an otherwise empty rumor.
I've tried several different Ciphers, including the word Kerkhoff but to no avail.
That's fine, Mr. Thacker..... No work for me tomorrow so we have all night sir
Your code and riddle shall be cracked... And then we will know when we can enjoy your film which some of us, myself including, have been waiting eagerly for.

Well, using a Polyalphabetic, I have so far tried Depth and Apophis and got gibberish. If I wasn't so afraid of 4chan, I'd go back over there and ask them for help like they did in the ARG P:

Yikes.............yeah Stay away from 4chan. No good can come of that.
Incidentally, i ran the binary through a converter and got:
Eji cyzi y dyvyzsei. Yl yqnwyt dyvyzsei.
So those resemble words, and punctuation. And dyvyzsei is repeated so its the same word from the first sentence.

If that's the case, the key is probably 2, 4 or 8 letters long (or 16...) if it requires one. (And is not SOMA in terms of a polyalphabetic)

Doesn't the key have to be put together in a stream? for example, SOMASOMASOMASOMA so that each character of the key corresponds to the cipher text?

This is probably wrong, but using a substitution cipher I got this:
She made a paradise. An actual paradise.

I'll take it as the correct answer for now - since I have nothing better P:
