Chronological Outline

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 presented a vision, then 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

Sun, July 23, 2006

• The Fallen ABC Family movie airs, and attracts many newcomers to the ARG (via Helpfindher.com), in an attempt to help find Faith

Thu, July 28, 2006

• Fallen airs again on ABC Family, attracting more people to the mystery
• Faith adds an entry to her blog containing a video and a brief introduction to 'her world' - a corner of a room with various tattoo illustrations posted. Of note: one page has a digitally blurred rectangle over a portion of the illustration.

Mon, July 31, 2006

• Miss Vix posted a newspaper scan of the article about Faith that she referred to in an earlier blog post.

Fri, August 4, 2006

• EWO posted an update to his news on Oculareffect.com, including images of people at Comic-Con who received a 'Faith' tattoo, some carrying a CD leading us to DVJ Kriel

Tue, August 8, 2006

• A new rune appears on 00112358.net, where clicking it takes us to a second puzzle, where solving it presents us with another vision, showing us that there may be a series of Visions revealed relating to various people.
• Faith adds two entries to her blog, one backdated to the 7th, wherein she discusses her visions, her confusion about the cheque she received, and recalling her childhood with her foster parents.
• Faith also posts a video blog wherein she reveals that she's leaving Vix Tattoos to 'follow her visions' with the cheque she was given, as she was urged to; but she lets us know she'll still be updating her website with photos and videos and such.
• Later at night, Faith makes a post saying she got an email from a girl in London about Kriel performing in Florida, so she's jumping on it and travelling to Tampa to find him because of his eerie connection with the symbols she saw.
• DVJ Kriel travels to his hometown of Gibsonton, FL and performs at a private event.

Wed, August 9, 2006

• Faith uploads her video from the previous night in Florida to her blog, where she observed a girl at Kriel's event essentially die, and paramedics couldn't revive her; but 'something shifted', and the girl started breathing. She waited and met up with Kriel afterwards to get some info from him, and he tried to avoid her until she showed him her tattoo (which is not on his site), at which point he decided to give her a card for her to call him later to talk.
