This page exists to temporarily contain unsorted assets from the ARG. Please add any interesting assets you find here so they can be investigated.


The Red Book

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 (Oskutin) that the book might have some importance. However, it is likely that the cover is not important, as the texture comes from Textures.com, as pointed out by Willisika.

bookset_skin1.vtf

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.
The book is referred in the Hammer valley mural aka. "the water trees mural". Could be worth looking into.

Villa Cane

       
There is a cane found lying on the floor of the Villa in the same room as the defaced paintings.
Presumably it belonged to Jeff Walter (as shown in his portrait found elsewhere in the Villa).
The patterns visible on the metalwork of the cane are reminiscent of those seen in "Elo's Hideout" in the Isle2 map.
Possibly related to the ARG?
