The Audio Tapes: A Completed Project

[Brain98]

EDIT: All questions have been answered, and all the current audio recordings on each tape have been found. Read further below for a link to them.


As you all know, last Friday audio messages were added to the tapes investiagators can pick up during a match. These audio messages are heavily garbeled and very mysterious. Numerous questions surround them. They are, but are not limited to:

*If a certain creature is picked in a match, will there be a set of tapes that excusiviely responds to them?

*Do the messages become more creature specific as the match progresses? For example, will the 1st clue be a generic message about initial discovery and will the final tape be a message about Olkoth?

*Does the order in which the messages are found matter in any way?

What we know:

*The messages are not map specific. I tested this theory with @DeadlyVanitas and found that I heard the same message in a tape in Eastmore College as I did in solo earlier that day on Varosha Campsite.

Tomorrow I plan on doing some deeper investigation into the tapes with DeadlyVanitas playing monster. What we will do is play each map with each monster twice. I will record every message that we pick up from each of these tapes and store them as .wav files. Doing each map and each monster on the map twice will help determine if the tapes spawn in any specific order and if the messages are monster related or not.

This will be an ongoing project that I am opening up to the community. If anyone finds any information on their own or would like to help with the investigation let me know. If you would like access to the .wav files, also feel free to let me know. If there are any questions that I missed that you would like answered, please comment them below. Thanks for reading, and I'll update this thread as the situation changes.

I am looking forward to it

UPDATE: I have opened a dropbox up for everyone who wants access to the audio tapes Deadly and I have picked up so far. Currently, we have done Abbey of the Savior with Astaroth and Darcy 2 times each. More will be added for each map and monster as we find them. If you would like access to the dropbox, feel free to leave an email I can send it to here (if you are comfortable doing that) or add me as a friend so you can DM me an email.

*Once you gain access to the files, feel free to download them or do whatever is needed to allow you to listen to them. They are in the public domain at this point and I don't mine them being used. They are currently in .wav format and may need to be changed depending on what device you are opening them up with.

Right now, every tape is purely random, so they're not based on level or monster. I didn't want to force player to pick something specific to get the audios, so that's why it's done this way.

I recorded a bunch of lines for the tapes, but I'm planning on adding more in the future (hopefully with more story bits).

Sounds awesome Soy1Bonus. Thank you for taking the time out to write that and it actually answers a lot of questions I initially had about the tapes. I know you talked to DeadlyVanitas a bit about this, but I was wondering if you knew (even approximately) how many unique recordings were made for the tapes currently. It would help when I'm going through the recordings I made to know how many I should be looking for to create a complete list.

Again, thank you for the response and keep doing what you guys are doing. You have a great game on your hands.

UPDATE: Due to the comment from Soy1Bonus, Deadly and I have stopped with tape collection for now. Today I will go through the files that we currently have collected and I will eliminate the duplicates we found. Then I will try and come up with a transcript for each tape. I will post here again when that has been finished.

UPDATE: I have uploaded all the files we have found from the investigation and removed all the duplicates we found. The link to the drobox if you are interested in listening to them is:

There are 29 tape audios at the moment.

Awesome, thank you for confirming that. So far we have found 28... Now the search begins for the missing 29th.

UPDATE: The 29th tape has been found. All of the audio recordings have officially been collected and placed in the Dropbox link above.
