Re. latest tweets: Go to the railroad tracks / lighthouse on West Cliff drive, they should be somewhere just outside the park. And please be careful :)

These 3 might be the most obvious hints we've been given. I guarantee that you have been trying to rationalize something being unlocked in game just as much as I have, only to have them throwing off your certainty constantly. It's well known that the team is endeavouring to avoid somebody datamining the secrets out, what better way than to put whatever it is where data isn't the focus? Time to face it guys and gals, we're looking for something in the RL.

Thanks to an incredible interpretation by /r/MetalAlex, we have found this. http://i.imgur.com/lERBeIL.jpg

Edit: This image was found by converting the length of the "text" in pixels on the recently updated generosity achievement into ASCII, which resulted in what was found to be an imgur code.

We have a map, and when do you need a map? When you're lost. The lock is the fact that we’re lost, i.e. in relation to the clue we are nowhere near it yet. We also have part of 8 shadows, so let's look at this from the perspective of who they might be: the remainder of the Male characters.. "AND HE REMOVED THAT DAY THE HE GOATS". This isn't the deep biblical reference we've all been hoping to crack, it's simply telling us that the boys are no longer to be found, they are The Lost Boys.


Now, this is where shit goes into overdrive.

If we look on his twitter page, we find this spider picture. Notice the most prominent poster is a film from 1987 titled The Lost Boys. In the opening scene of this movie a Doors song is played, the name of this song is.. People Are Strange. Note the missing posters as well. Spooky, right?

If you look up some details on this movie, you’ll notice that it was filmed primarily in Santa Cruz, California. Note that Edmund also lives in Santa Cruz. More notably, a lot of the movie (including this intro scene) was filmed at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk , which does feature amusement park rides.'

> the original isaac is $.49 cents! http://store.steampowered.com/app/113200/?snr=1_5_9__300 … thats less than a single game of "area 51" in the arcades in 1995!

You know what this means, right? We need to go to the amusement park. Specifically, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. There is a ride at the park called the Sea Serpent and a ride called the Freefall, both can be seen here. Interestingly there is also an arcade that has the Area 51 game. Coincidence? Possibly. Or they may be a hint towards something we're looking supposed to be looking for / to.

Credit to /r/Mlink1234 and /r/Lezazaa for putting a lot of these thoughts together.


tl;dr: There are physical clues at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, California. We need to find noble redditors to look.
