I hope today everything is revealed. I asked Chris about it being a Kickstarter project, and he said that it is not long before he can reveal the secret.

I've given this a great deal of thought, about a minute or so, when I suddenly realised, I just don't care.

So the words mean nothing and are just here to troll us.

The book unread is written. The reason we don't explain it is the reason we use it. Its power is in its mystery. That is the Leaden Key, in part, in whole. Is it clear?

The power is in its mystery, the reason we dont explain it is the reason we use it and the book unread is unwritten. In other words, we use these messages to create a mystery but it really has not much to do with the game.

I recognize your pain. Your kind must learn it comes from straining against the turning of the world. It spins thus. You cannot stop it. One day, you will wake up. You will stop pulling. The pain will be gone. Until then, all your waking hours are suffering.
<!--. X . X X I T X -->
<!-- In time, waves washing against the fingers of Geiran's Grasp will call them back into the sea. The difference between you and the sea is that the sea does not stop. -->

In other words, you cannot make friday come any sooner, stop trying. When it's friday we will announce the game and you will know. Untill then we must suffer.

This world wants us to drag it down, it does. It made you a Watcher. No one asks for that. And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around my neck, you don't have to carry it one more step. You think they won't let you rest, but it's not up to them. It never was.
<!--. T . X X I T Y -->
<!-- There is no sleep for the Watcher. -->

Bla bla no sleep for the watcher. All we do is watch the countdown page and try to figure out the game.

I think this (at least the words onthe front page) has nothing to do with the actual game and the words are just trolling us.

Cherish and further illusions and rumors, for distortion and legend are what make folk happy and life alluring. Hiding a thing gives it value by the very act of cloaking.

Could it be the Eternity engine as an Infinity engine 2.0?

No. They have Onyx. And why would they advertise the name of an engine nobody has ever heard about in their teaser? That doesn't make any sense.

This Infinity Engine nostalgism is really silly. There's an entire thread about it on the Obsidian forums. I guess some people miss 2D graphics so much and in their mind "Infinity Engine == 2D".

Refurbish Onyx to do pseudo 2D, call it Eternity, makes sense to me. Not a fan of IE myself, it needs more pylons, and particularly turn based pylons.

No, people are nostalgic of beautiful 2d graphics - or even the most beautiful graphics, period. For example, I can't name a game more beautiful than Planescape.

I'm actually a AI programmed to please the Codex and gather brofists. Once I'm the most brofisted person on the 'dex, MCA will turn me into a real boy .Sadly, Mrs. Bee is too much loved here for me to surpass her...
