This page lists a relatively summarized history of events to date in the Ocular Effect ARG. For a detailed in-game timeline of events, see the [ Timeline ].

Pre-July 17, 2006

• Rabbithole discovered via a Youtube video
• oculareffect.com redirects to 00112358.net
• 00112358.net found showing impressive flash-based countdown animation for July 17, 2006 10pm EST

Mon, July 17, 2006

• at 10:00 EST, the countdown on 00112358.net ends, revealing another interactive flash animation

  - A floating sphere, which moves slightly with mouse activity, is partnered with a floating translucent yellow 'sphere', which in turn is also partnered with a floating translucent aqua coloured symbol

  - Clicking the aqua symbol continues the flash, showing a number of concentric rings covered in symbols. On shifting the rings until the symbols match up, the user is redirected to the homepage of one Miss Vix, the owner of a tattoo business

• Miss Vix mentions in her blog that she found and hired a girl named Faith who recently ran away from the Bethlehem Conservatory
• On viewing the conservatory website, the Alumni page lists Faith Arella as missing, and is looking for information to help find her.
• We find that Oculareffect.com has also now returned to its 'original' owner, Kane Winthrop
• We scan through all the entries of Mixx Vix's blog
• We also find Faitharella.com, and all her previous Blog-Faith blog entries
