Only a few levels into it, but this is actually very well done and quite enjoyable. So far. I have a feeling it's going to become very difficult very soon.

Remember to use the "Submit" button (do not hit the Enter key).
The 404 page is custom, plays music, has a link to a forum (not much posted there yet).
Appears to me it might be related to The Magic card game.

A few of us were working on it in IRC in the #puzzletome channel, but have gotten stymied on one of the puzzles (involving morse code).

I'm stuck on the morse code one, too.

Are you allowed to post the morse code puzzle here? More eyes and brain power on it might help.

Yeah, time to ask the masses.
This from page 4: (4, right? or 5...)
morse:

I believe it's the 4th puzzle, if I remember correctly.
I have a major headache right now because of this stupid thing.
Are we looking at the wrong thing on the page? Why is the wall-type thing a flash movie and not a picture?

All the images so far are flash. That's just how they are doing it.

If it is related to Magic, I'll let you know.
I have massive connections to the Gods of Wizards of the Coast.

I'm dumb with you. I don't understand what you're supposed to do on the first page.
Edit : n/m ... I figured it out ... or at least I'm making progress on a branch of the puzzle. Hopefully its not a dead end.
