I actually quite like the most recent entry. It's packed with interesting plot developments - Heather disappeared! Alex is mute! - that have succeeded in moving the plot forwards somewhat, but which at the same time would have been frustrating to sit through in "real time", as it were - we didn't need to sit through a whole bunch of entries where Alex and Chris try to find Heather and fail, or where Christ tries to get Alex to talk and fails, and this way they've spared us that.
It's quite nicely put together too - I could genuinely believe that these are the edited highlights of what's otherwise been a quiet-ish year for them, recorded over that period of time. Either they've recorded a whole bunch of material over the part year and then made the radical decision to leave a big heap of it on the cutting room floor in order to give this update a bigger punch, or they recorded most of this recently but got quite adept at the writing and editing in order to keep things brisk and to the point.
I wouldn't want all the remaining videos in the series to be in this "recap" style, but this is a good way to give a quick infodump and lend some momentum to the series after a long break and I'm interested to see what they do next. This is more than I can say for, say, EverymanHybrid, where the last string of videos seem to have established this momentum-free holding pattern where the story crawls to an absolute halt and it feels like the last few videos were put out just to remind everyone that the series is ongoing but without finding any way to actually re-engage the audience's attention and get some momentum going.
I just hope they are able to keep up their momentum now.

The numbers on the second part of the note make me think it's a book code - the municipal code would be the book, and the numbers give page, line and word numbers to make out a message.

They're probably not contacting him because they don't want him to get hurt or something.

I'm pretty sure since Daniel left the cast, they probably had to kill off his character (which really, really sucks because Daniel's character was amazing). What happens if someone else has to take over Daniel's position--maybe Charlie or a new character?

Does anyone actually know what happened with Daniel Shipman's actor OOG? I've heard rumors about something sexual or... something, but that was a while ago and I don't know if that was just made-up.

I think he made a move on the actress who played Heather and so was fired and she talked about it on her tumblr. The last few pages starting with 97 talk about this if you want to see.

If they're planning to continue Daniel's plot thread (about the heretics and such) without the character himself, they could kill him off and introduce a friend/colleague of his who takes over his investigation, or something like that. It might feel kind of cheap, but not sure what else could really be done without abruptly dropping it.
It seems like that may actually be what they're doing. Great predictions!

Anyone notice how much this series has changed? Season one was kind of this paranormal/pshycological mystery and very derivative of other Slender Man series. Season 2 developed a really interesting lore and started ramping up the action. Then Season 3 comes along and the series took a dark turn--with a dark look at cults and living off the grid. I feel like Dark Harvest evolved the most as a Slender Man series.

I remember interviewing Chris on the Marble Operator podcast, and he had some ideas that he just never got around to using in Dark Harvest that would have been really neat to see realized. His plan was always to take it in this direction, with the cult.

Well, now that Alex woke up and a special someone (Noah? Firebrand? Jeff Benson?) gave them
over
9000 dollars, they probably can get a car and a gun now...the question is, will the cult ever catch up with them?
I think there's a few loose strings with the Marc McComber mystery that haven't been tied up. I keep forgetting what they are because the lore of the story is complex...
I'm wondering what's taking them so long. Studies, most likely.
