This red book appears in interesting locations throughout the game. But the meaning of the book is still a mystery.

it was implied by one of the developers ([[User:Oskutin|Oskutin]]) that  the book might have some importance. However, it is likely that the cover is not important, as the texture comes from [https://www.textures.com/download/bookcovers0009/100891 Textures.com], as pointed out by Willisika. As it has a bird on the cover and is red, it may be related to mentions of 'red raven' in special/mask_sound_001.wav ([[ARG Audio Files|see ARG audio files]])

===Other===
====Tunnel of water trees====
[[File:TunnelOfWaterTreesBook.png|150px]]<br /><code>bookset_skin1.vtf</code>
This book is made by [[Silvia H. Raven]]. and it has some kind of code '''E.1 S.9 H.8 C.2''' on the back cover.<br />The book is referred in the Hammer valley mural aka. "the water trees mural". Could be worth looking into.
====Villa Cane====
[[File:INFRA - Villa Cane Top.jpg|150px]] [[File:INTRA - Villa Cane Upper Side.jpg|150px]] [[File:Villa Cane Lower Side.jpg|150px]] [[File:INTRA - Villa Cane Bottom.jpg|150px]]<br />There is a cane found lying on the floor of the Villa in the same room as the defaced paintings. <br />Presumably it belonged to Jeff Walter (as shown in his portrait found elsewhere in the Villa).  <br />The patterns visible on the metalwork of the cane are reminiscent of those seen in "Elo's Hideout" in the Isle2 map. <br />Possibly related to the ARG?
====New Screenshots====
[[File:ARG T01 S2778 E1 INFRA.png|159px]]
<code>text_random_07.vtf</code>
''T01''
S2778 E1 INFRA
Found after the train station in the city after all hell breaks loose. Commented by [[user:Oskutin|Oskutin]] with ''E1 Under?''
[[File:ARG FM.png|150px]]
''FM''
Found on its own with nothing near or next to it probably just some random letters. In the Bergmann tunnels, just across the two controllable bridges, above a table. The letters are also briefly visible on the wall of the elevator shaft when exiting the Bergmann tunnels.
Other locations for these letters include Point Elias, in a corner in a parking garage and in Turnip Hill on a wall near O-market.
''Note: FM/FM Studios was a precursor name to the [[Loiste Interactive]] and any presence of these two in the game are most likely an easter egg to that name.''
====Table 32DGFR====
[[File:Table32dgfr.png|150px]]<br \><code>scientific_table_001_skin6.vtf</code><br \>
A table containing elements which start with a single letter, followed by a 3-digit number. The top row is labeled from GD1 to GD15.<br \>
Commented on by [[user:Oskutin|Oskutin]] in the ARG discord channel on June 5, 2020: "this seems that it can fit a lot of information", "if you figure out what GD means then it gets easier"
'''Obscured Language/Chinese Characters on Bridge'''
[[File:Bridge Girder - Chapter 2 Railway Bridge - Unedited Screenshot.png|none|thumb|223x223px]]
On the support beams/girder of the Railway Bridge in Chapter 2, very faint Chinese characters are visible. The same characters appear on every beam, and the characters do not appear to be present on the texture file when the source textures are inspected.
[[File:Bridge Girder - Chapter 2 Railway Bridge - Characters Visible.png|none|thumb|219x219px]]
Adjusting the contrast, brightness and colour saturation of the image we can improve the clarity of the characters. The identified characters are as follows:
* 報 - Bào -English Translation - "newspaper"
* 官 - Guān - English Translation - "official"
* 治 - Zhì - English Translation - "rule"
* 理 - Lǐ - English Translation - "reason"
However, the characters may take on a different meaning when merged together. All characters when written together, may translate to:
報官治理 - Bào guān zhìlǐ - "Reporting to officials for governance" or alternatively "Newspaper governance", "Reporting to the police", "Report to the authorities" or "Report to the government"
==Obenseuer==
===OsRat Chalk board===
[[File:Osrat-chalkboard.png|thumb]]
in the apartment where the OsRat is found, there is a chalk board seemingly showing its workings and development.
the two symbols on the far sides of the ---><--- are also found in the [[Wasteland notes|wasteland notes,]] and the spiral one in Elo's hideout in INFRA.
the last symbol in the set of 5 symbols on the right of the board (not counting the infinity sign) also appears in the [[wasteland notes]]
the small writing in the bottom right says 'who is [[Albert Hartman|AH]]? red raven signals'
this seems to connect to [[ARG Audio Files|special/mask_sound_001.wav]] which also mentions a 'red raven'
The large text on the right side gives a usage guide:
* <-- AA BATTERIES
* GREEN LIGHT / READY TO CONNECT
* NO LIGHT / REPLACE THE BATTERIES
* PRESS THE BUTTON WHEN THE LIGHT IS GREEN
Below this is an infinity symbol. in INFRA, on the box that controls isle3's drawbridge lights, there is [[:File:Puzzle box 024.png|graffiti of a raven and an infinity symbol]].
The large text on the left says
* METER ARROW / SIGNAL STRENGTH [????]
* METER LIGHT / CONNECTION STRENGTH
* [????] / [????]
* STRONG SIGNAL USUALLY NEAR [[Stalburg Mushroom Virus|SMV]] BODIES
* how to make it stringer? [????] RR signals [????]?
RR may stand for 'red raven' or 'raven research'
on the far left, there is a numbered list
# BLACK NOISE
# RED NOISE
# WASTE
# ??? (x'd out)
# OUT
This list seems to correlate to the top left diagram, which also shows five stages. stage 3 has a radiation symbol over it, and is directly under where the two ---><--- lines meet.
