Oh yeah one last question: What's Wallace's first name?

Thank you Seadevil4!
Very well written. Good, exciting ending. Puzzles though basic in nature (once you knew the answer that is ) were devilish hard to figure out, or sometimes even which part was the puzzle. Lots of misdirection, I know that i personally spent a few good hours looking over here when the answer was over there.
Did we miss anything entirely?
Only get " close enough" on some things?
And yeah, keep my email handy too.

He does have one, I created his character back in the 90's somewhat inspired by Douglas Adam's Dirk Gently.

However what can I say some things need to remain a mystery, maybe in the sequel Wink

What did you think of the puzzles, it was amazing the ones I thought were really easy turned out to be hard and the hard ones you went through like butter, well most of them anyway. The picture of the Parking signs and the Marvin anagram I thought was so easy.

ETA: Only one thing that stands out which turned out to work really well with the story: Lo-DracLore = Cellardoor

This was a general pointer towards to the Donnie Darko film I wanted you to get time travel into your heads so when you listened to the first of the wav files you would understand where the story was going-ish.

The wav files I could understand them even without cleaning up but none of you could the irony of that. I had rerecord the second half of the files and Lewis was on hand to analyse the first half for you. Turned out all right in the end. That required a rewrite and some additional material.

Playing God is fun but hard as well.

The world is a much dimmer place.

Oh one final question - Did you monitor this thread during the game, or did you just post the trailhead and then not look until the end?

Well since it was my first time out as a PM and I was worried about the pacing of the story I decided to monitor the thread.

This didn't effect for instance Lewis knowing that you gave him a picture of the wrong mountain. He already knew which mountain it was, he just wanted to see if Wallace and his helpers knew. Everyone cut him off when you uncovered the location of the mountain. He had to know for sure which is why he bribed his original contact for the public inquiry documents for the last document that held the location of the mountain.

I thought your Paradise Lost was a nice touch Wink
