For everyone who wants good, free audio-editing software, check out Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Yeah, January 6th 2028 is definitely the date on this 0xx08 file, the bit at the end is slowed down (in tempo, not speed, increase the tempo in Audacity by approx 200% to hear) and reversed says january, the bit reversed before that says 6th, and the reversed bit at the start says 2028.

For some reason its backwards this time, in the sense that the voice says "2028, 6th, January", which lead me to believe that the entire file was reversed.

Not the case, though, the audio other than the date doesn't make sense to me backwards or forwards, except that forwards I can make out the words "read the employee files" somewhere near the middle.

I get the feeling we need someone with far better audio skills to make some sense outta this. We are definitely hearing a conversation between two or more people, but the conversation is not only cut into pieces and separated into these files, but each audio is significantly edited.

Edit: Ugh, think I'm tired, just posted this in the wrong trailhead topic. *facepalm*

I wish there was more of a clue as to how to edit the audio files. The higher into numbered files I go, the more complex the audio scrambling becomes. I started to think individual syllables had been reversed and such, but still nothing made any sense.

Please, a professional (or atleast knowledgeable) audio-techy guy, take a look at these goddamn files!

Yea I've been using Audacity to examine the files and I agree that the different bits are getting chopped up, reversed, sped up, slowed down, and intermixed. It is not very motivating to try to disentangle them without more of a sense that this is leading to something worthwhile. Also, what is the in-game reason why The Seeker is even releasing these audio files? Why are they mangled the way they are? It feels like busywork.

I agree that we're the "Seeker", whatever that is meant to mean. But yeah, I'm at a dead end until either: Someone makes a breakthrough on the audios, or a different kind of clue is presented, 'cause I can't fix up these latest audios at all. Plus, the fact that voices reversed and overlapped can result in different people hearing different things, we might distract ourselves with false clues.

audio file number 10 is up. once again, the audio is beyond my comprehension to decipher, but i had to reverse the file this time to get the whole date (unreversed all you can hear is 25, reversed you can hear january and 2028)

0xx08 - january 6th, 2028
0xx09 - january 10th, 2028
0xx10 - january 25th, 2028
0xx04 - february 10th, 2028
0xx03 - february 15th, 2028
0xx06 - february 15th, 2028
0xx07 - february 24th, 2028
0xx02 - february 25th, 2028
0xx05 - february 25th, 2028
0xx01 - march 1st, 2028

this'll be the last date list i'm doing for now, until there's some significant progress other than that we've been getting with the awkward files.

Any chance for an upload? The site seems to have forgotten I've already uncovered the anomaly and I can't be bothered waiting around again for it to appear.

To anyone trying to hit the anomaly:

In the top right-hand corner there should be a little down-arrow... click that, should bring up a moon shape. Click that and it should change the whole scene to a diagram of the moon orbiting the Earth. Clicking where the Earth should be will bring you to the anomaly screen.

If that makes sense.

The only obvious difference im seeing when loading http://www.interdimensionalgames.com/pre-webgame_01.swf instead of the normal site is the lack of the moving smiley face that triggers the hangman game. Im assuming (rather... hoping) that the smiley face/hangman game will have some sort of importance in the future.

Right clicking on the world view desktop comes up with c 2010-2028 international games as an email address, which gives you this address

Wierd, I get the same kind of loading screen as I did for the website as before, and the anomaly still isn't showing us like it did before.

Whats wierd is that the little down arrow that you mentioned, the one where you click on the little cresent moon afterwards.. for some reason that cresent moon isn't there for me now so I can't use that to shortcut the anomaly. This is putting me off getting back to the desktop and checking out the latest audio files since I have no idea how I activated the anomaly in the first place. :/
