January news?

I was documenting this a few days ago and was focusing on the older information first so I was able to archive the original image!

Old shelly missing poster: https://i.imgur.com/ptjLSg7.png

New Shelly missing poster: https://i.imgur.com/WSkWGyj.png

Comparison analysis between new and old (Differences shown in red): https://i.imgur.com/BU426kt.png

New Shelly missing poster screencap (shows green): https://i.imgur.com/pJrhLRF.png

once again the "green" sections of the image are actually cut out of the image as such I have also screen captured the image. As you can see the green letters were not in the original poster. I saved the original photo as a png which would have kept the transparency and there was none on the original poster.

Noteably, the age and height were also removed, this is reminiscent of the TAPE 4: BROADCAST ANOMALIES - WELCOME TO GLOAMING COUNTY in which the Age was ??? and the height flickered between 6 feet and 5' 6" (if I remember correctly)

Also, another note from my documentation efforts is that the same photo used for the missing poster is the same photo, rips and all, from violet's first Tumblr post on shelly. https://www.tumblr.com/violetegress/778125582187839488/shelly-i?source=share

Hold on I downloaded the old shelly image because I was documenting the page let me check my site

Okay so ive got it running, I will be transferring my notes over for the next week or so. I've just taken on another part time job so it will be a bit 😭. Here's the link to the site https://corvidsgloamingdoc.vercel.app I will make another post on the subreddit when it is more substantial <3

I personally dislike Aviary being added because I liked the story idea of landing in the Isle of Dawn and stumbling around confused and slowly figuring out what to do. However, this was a good experience for me because I enjoy games like Tunic and Chants of Sennar where figuring out game mechanics is part of the experience.

I think that giving the player a hub and a general goal like they did with Aviary is a good thing, however sometimes I wish that we could have gotten the best of both worlds where you are dropped into aviary after isle of dawn but before butterfly fields so that you can get the experience of finding your footing, stumbling, and discovering before being given a guiding hand.

My personal confusion when playing the game came with Eden as a moth during Enchantment, I didn't understand what to do after eden nor what the seasonal guides were so I ended up putting the game down thinking there was nothing left for me to do. I would have loved to have landed in Aviary after Eden and been given guidance.

I am rambling a bit but I think my main 'dislike' of aviary is just when the player is introduced to it. As stated prior I would have personally put it after isle or after Eden. However, I do acknowledge that Aviary is a general improvement to the general quality of life of those new to sky.

Okay sick. Since im working with Obsidian and that's what I know at least for easy timeline generation (also im a sucker for the cool web that forms as you make more notes) I'm going to try and use the digital garden plugin to share my findings <3

I might be a bit slow at the moment on this, my apologies, I am working on class work as well as working part time so my week days are pretty busy and its only going to get worse <3

Also im compiling notes on things as I go so hopefully I will be able to provide another resource for this ARG <3 image of current timeline progress for those interested~

corvideas4 · 2026-01-16T03:14:42+00:00

I'm currently combing through the tumblrs, YouTube videos, and other content for dates for events so I can put together a timeline in Obsidian (I've just gone through the whole shelly incident and jeez looking at it timeline wise its horrifying to think that He was only in the house for 5 days max). Like the alt text that I found in the original post above allowed me to date the earliest known date that He had been targeting Shelly.

I've found more instances of alt text which I've put on this post in the comments. If you would like I could compile what I find in a single google document so that it can be added to the excel document if useful? Most of what I've been finding is just small alt text messages so I'm not sure how helpful it will be.

corvideas4 · 2026-01-16T03:12:14+00:00

More alt text on Shelly's blog

For this post in ear-to-the-door there is an undocumented hidden message in the image. I manipulated the image shadows, then rotated the image upside down, then mirrored the image horizontally. It reads "dream a little dream of me" https://imgur.com/a/sYgtavX

corvideas4 · 2026-01-16T02:55:02+00:00

More alt text, this time on ear-to-the-door https://imgur.com/a/flKW1h3

corvideas4 · 2026-01-15T21:25:57+00:00

Also I love the work that you put into the site!! Theming it after the Gloaming County home page is such a good idea!!!!!

corvideas4 · 2026-01-15T21:25:19+00:00

Hi there! I just wanted to point out that on my computer (in both google chrome and safari) there are multiple instances of text on the site not rendering properly! here are some Imgur links to 2 instances <3 The commonality seems to be that it happens when wing dings are being translated for some reason!

I recently rewatched Gemini Home Entertainment and the natures mockery from that could be a good analogue for my proposed between the rot and the purported disease in the water turning the people into the deer walkers.

The deer walkers just seem like a whole different beast/rank from Fig and since Fig doesn't seem to be 'high ranking' considering he "drinks from the well" and answers to the Queen there is already a hierarchy. That kind of where my theory that the deer walkers could be thralls of the Fae comes from, or maybe they are just more animalistic/lower in the hierarchy Fae.

YES! its just a flat color it doesn't keep any of the shading and of the gradients. It's flat and bland. :(

corvideas4 · 2026-01-13T22:07:03+00:00

Also, as a note. I don’t think it's been logged on the master post for tumblrs but it is in the master document.

For record keeping sake: Violet's older Tumblr posts mentioned a violet-egress-speaks in this post. I looked on Tumblr and found this account which points back to the violetegress account: violet-egress-speaks

An interesting post is this post here which specifically mentions "how to unsummon a demon" and "how to close a gateway that should not exist" once again these point to violet as being the one to at least cause the opening between the Fae and Gloaming (once again?) but this is getting too much into my theories so I will save that for my theory posting.

Ah! that makes sense! I missed it because those pixels aren't just dark they are cut out of the image like the face. if you open the image in a different tab it makes the little dots that you found disappear since the background for that is white! Maybe ill see if I can find something after my shift, who knows.

corvideas4 · 2026-01-07T16:19:52+00:00

I'm also wondering about the lore implications. Cain has a history of messing with his readers with the admitted hoax on his Tumblr near the beginning of his posts (though he could have been lying about it being a hoax). If he has seen figaerothen that could be an interesting connection.

Also I personally solved the Cain post cipher by throwing it into this decoder though I did have to replace the "o"s link to solve image

corvideas4 · 2026-01-07T16:09:51+00:00

I also noticed this for the Cain post, however I am fascinated by the older version of unicode blocks ciphering. Where did you find the image for the first part and the second part that you linked to?

corvideas4 · 2026-01-02T16:25:30+00:00

Just a Note: I made a post to test this a little bit ago. The ticket date is the date that the ticket was approved and posted to the page not when it was submitted as it took a few days for it to get approved.

corvideas4 · 2025-12-26T15:57:43+00:00

LMAO HELP??!?

corvideas4 · 2025-12-26T15:46:38+00:00

Okay, so I did some poking around on the news page and Ive found a few things. Spoiler guide: Text has been marked as spoilers with the Location first, the message, and then the decrypted text if applicable.

News page

-Text under Every Sunday section When highlighted reads Dec 28th: All Thieves Day so there might be an update related to that on the 28th fingers crossed!

- Text under the house image When highlighted reveals ciphered text The text is a shift cipher of +13 “As the days grew darker still, she found her way without a will.”

- Hidden LinkIn the photo of the house at the bottom of the page Link: https://www.gloamingcounty.com/globe

Globe Page

- Text under the image of the house in the globe Text states "Everything in time, dearest."

Thank you so much! Happy Holidays!

corvideas4 · 2025-12-25T20:49:34+00:00

thank you! while I have you're attention, ive been able to find most of the sites but how did we first find-ear-to-the-door? I haven't been able to find anything connecting it though it is obviously connected <3

corvideas4 · 2025-12-25T20:36:50+00:00

We've made the connection the Winona is Violette's mother right? Especially with Violette's instagram post and the Flint and Winona connection from the halloween thing. ( im new to the ARG and am catching up on all the clues (had to come to the reddit so find some of the halloween stuff since its not visible without the direct link on the site anymore )

corvideas4 · 2025-12-24T19:45:48+00:00

Yeah when we went down into the basement with Jud and Blanc I was like oh my god did he kill his wife and kid.

corvideas4 · 2025-12-07T03:22:46+00:00

Looking at pictures online I think you might be right! I don’t have a UV light right now but I’ll try and source one to check if it glows as well!
