looks like the original post was made on the 6th...

some people are thinking it may be VR for the NBC show 'Surface' due to similarities between the skeleton and something on the show. Not having seen the show myself I can't comment on that.

Having seen the show... it's possible that it could be like the one from Surface. Also, the domain for the site from which the pictures came from shows a "Last Modified" date of September 26th.

P.S. Another interesting thing is that the email used for registration seems to be a Hushmail account, namely deepdivescubaSPLAThush.com

Its been posted on various giant fandom boards over the last few days. (they beat you to it) But given how it was marketed (reportedly on Yahoo first), I'm not shocked.

With Surface, Shadow of the colossus, and even Black and White 2 coming out, there is a considerible amount of giant parafanilia in Q4.

So far, it looks like a blog with some potential.

I've started reading it from the beginning, just out of no recent developments in the other ARGs I'm in.

just saw this on snopes was hoping i'd be the first to post the trailhead Sad

(if it is for surface, i haven't actually watched the show yet, is it any good? i heard its rather a slow-moving plot)

Love me some Snopes. (Except for those infernal popups)

If this is a game (as opposed to viral marketing), then it's a damned cool way to launch.

Damned cool.
