Sorry everyone...

@Delerium92: Do you have a link to that post? I can't find it (I'm assuming you're talking about Matthew Sergison's Facebook page).

EDIT: Ooo I see you've messaged him on DA. Is that what you meant?

Here's his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/matthew.sergisonmain if you scroll through his page he mentions that this is the 5th stage of the teaser campaign. My message to him on deviantart is just me wondering how much work he has to do for the website teaser images.

Ahhhh shit, the Facebook link I had in the Info Portal wasn't that one. Must have been his company or something. Cheers!

I wonder if the first 4 stages of teasers were the ARG and trailers.

No worries! Smile

Who knows what the first 4 stages are, I tried to research that a little and there's no information about teaser stages. :/

Also I noticed that the Chinese room has changed their name on soundcloud to Oswald Mandus I know this is not a fake because I liked that song that was uploaded before it was removed and followed them.

Let's see if we can figure out what they might have been:
  • The ARG which led to the game's announcement.
  • A timer/countdown which led to the first teaser trailer.
  • The second trailer.
Just need one more to make sense of this shit and I know I've probably forgotten something; I feel like there should be something between the first and second trailer releases...maybe something as simple as the first batch of screenshots?

Interesting! Do you think they wanted their Soundcloud profile to slip into obscurity again by changing the name but didn't realise that the people following them would see the change? Angel

EDIT: Are you sure they changed the name? The original link still works:

Hmmmm, it's all quite tricky, it's probably something I'll have to think about too, perhaps some of the screenshots are part of it.
I just wonder how many more stages there are.

I think you're probably right, once the game comes out they'll change the name back. Tongue Other than that I also liked the song they uploaded just so I can keep track of them.

See that the Chinese Room? I'm your first follower.

Here's a screenshot of their soundcloud page: http://i.imgur.com/8GvG7vE.jpg

Name went from The Chinese Room to Oswald Mandus.

I think there's been three.

The letter, the poem, and this poem (actual)

The original link still works though, and there are still 37 followers for it. What spacey time-rip shit is this!?!

I think the three drawings with the poems/letters are all part of the "5th stage" of teasers, i.e. they're three parts of one phase in the teaser campaign. At least that's how I read Matthew's post.

Okay I'm confused, I went to your link and yes it does say The Chinese Room and that's where the leaked song came from... Welp I'm completely perplexed. -_- It says the song I like came from Oswald Mandus.
Also I found you on Soundcloud I like your call of the brutes ambient song thing, I did a similar thing for the entrance hall. :3

Ooooo I got a follower! Big Grin I never use my account these days, I was using it to upload guitar exercises when I was teaching but that was many moons ago hehe. The Amnesia thing was just a bit of fun, but I'm glad you dug it!

Christ knows what's going on with that Oswald Mandus business, I'm trying to figure out how it could have happened but I can't think of anything. Very weird.
