Looks like there's a Halo 3 connection. Is it old or new?

Zack Carlson Maybe?

The word Lyca was mentioned back in 2005 in some Cortana letters.

The website was created in 1998, and in 2006 it was confirmed to be unrelated to the Halo ARG at the time.

Not sure if this is an ARG or something else, I can say with almost 100% certainty that this is NOT the same as the Lyca from 2006. When I clicked on the last dot that said "start digging" and clicked on the two words the site came up with a message that said "This is not the end of the story, the next part will be posted on October 19 2014". Whether this is an ARG or not still remains to be seen.

Starting to lean towards this not being an ARG however the fact that there is braille on the main page and to get to the story you have to click on the last link makes me a bit unsure.
