What is this for.

Removed information to conform to not being a total starfish. Suggest quotes be removed as well.

None of the links work now since they put login requirements on the entire area of the site, but I'd still rather they be taken down for now. It was a lot of concept art for various parts of the game, although nothing too telling. I'm not sure, but I'd still discuss Simon.

to anyone who missed- it was awesome

But very incomplete. Seemed to be just generic models. they might put up another, but no access to it. Rightfully, but still...

Hopefully this game will be scary.

NotKreation, what's your Steam? I found one I thought was you, but it hasn't been used in 54 days.

I just found some Penumbra logos with "Dark Swarm" in place of "Black Plague," meaning "Dark Swarm" was just a working title for the second Penumbra game. As such, the sequels name is still untold and should be treated as such.

First of all, the main teaser site  has updated. The image is now sharp and links to 506 2nd ave #1021, Seattle, WA . It previously linked to China and the scottish island Boreray .
Looking at the website's code revealed a C64-looking console  which has various commands and user accounts to look at (type HELP for list of commands).
People figured out that promoting user THOMAS 100 times would redirect you to a zip-file called fragment_ebola.zip which contained this image . Increasing the brightness and contrast reveals a series of hidden letters in the image . The current assumption is that these letters form the password to the console's admin account.
Check out this thread  on the FG forums for more info, come over and help solve this riddle! :)

I'm on an IRC channel working with the Amnesia Sequel ARG. We've gotten into the Admin area and found a text file that's encrypted. (This is ARG site, we aren't hacking anything. This is meant to be cracked.) Could anyone figure out how to decode this?

It's a lettershift code from the looks of it. Try a code that will shift each letter a certain number of times (as in up or down the alphabet).

It's a cryptogram.

"This world is a machine. A machine for pigs. Fit only for the slaughter of pigs."

Pro cryptogram solving skills.
