Main Page > List of Investigations
The Lost Memories Investigation (otherwise known as "Olhg Nvnlirvh" or "Incoming Transmission"), is a multi-media investigation that currently involves a YouTube page [1], email address ([email protected]), twitter page [2], empty bandcamp page [3], and a discord account, which gives cryptic messages and riddles to players about symbols, and as many as two unidentified characters.
Two days after the first video "November 1st" was uploaded, the investigation was discovered by the /r/GameDetectives community and an Overwatch community in Korea, believing it to be Sombra related (although on 2016-10-27 this was disproven). Upon discovery, the investigation quickly grew in popularity, and now receives hundreds of views per video, this is largely due to it's incredibly cryptic but somewhat simplistic nature, and it's use of bandcamp (which is believed to open on November 1st).
Build Up to November 1st
November 1st (Video)
On 2016-10-23, the YouTube page for Olhg Nvnlirvh uploaded a video titled "November 1st." [4] The video featured dashcam footage of an unknown area, accompanied by heavy static, and extremely loud and distorted music. In the description of the video was the morse code message ".. -. -.-. --- -- .. -. --. / - .-. .- -. ... -- .. ... ... .. --- -.," which translated to "INCOMING TRANSMISSION." Also, the description contained a link to the bandcamp page.
YouTube Channel
After the initial video was discovered, users investigated the YouTube channel page, and discovered a Base64 cipher message which translated to "Testing Testing 123."
After seemingly everything had been solved at this point, a curious user managed to track down and send an email to the address "[email protected]." Once the email was sent, an automated response was sent back with the same "INCOMING TRANSMISSION" morse code message as the subject, and a columnar transposition message that when translated, gave the following message...
"TEST
Hello? Hello? IfAnyoneCanReadThis,PleaseHelp. IDon'tKnowWhat'sHappening. I'mScared..."
