Just some thoughts.The barcode says LAST, and beneath it, it says FIRST. Commonly, a lot of people are thinking we're supposed to go back to the game. But what if we're not supposed to? I mean, one of the Handelabra guys in here even said that the INTERVENE screen was all he knew about. And considering all of the other barcode hints have been in reading order (top/down, left to right), what if we're looking for a GAME VIDEO?  Admittedly, I'm not following Greater than Games YouTube page, so I don't know what we're supposed to input here, but I do know we're looking for a number (based on the current pattern), and Tim Cosing just tweeted "Arrow time."  Is there some video we may want to watch that involves time? Or Parse? Or Ra (or anything else mentioned in this cover)? 

 

 Could there be a hint in the "Shattered Timelines" release video?  With Chrono-Ranger?

Don't think so. Wasn't that posted to the Handelabra Channel and not the >G channel?

 

They've been working so closely together, it's entirely possible that they left a hint in there.  It might also work with the "Break Time" hint from a while ago.  Everyone thought it was for the expansion that they released, but maybe it was a hint to go have another look-through of the trailer.  Am gonna go check just to be sure.

 

Edit:  Well, looks like this might be a dead-end.  Didn't notice anything too weird, just a couple of colors I'm not sure about.  That being said, the new advert colors look like a really promising clue.

hmmm

 

I may have made a mistake, but according to the rulebook, that's 112238445?

 

edit: yellow, yellow, blue, blue, pink, white, orange, orange, red

So in the video game, on the thing on the left, there are now arrows above the items, if you click a bunch, you'll see the intervene screen (I know this isn't new).  Is it possible that the "new colors" mean the colors are changed?

EDIT: also, the panel has obvious colors of purple, red and green. Does that mean something? Probably not.

That's what I would have said too if not for the fact one screen was closer to white than pink...  but whatever...

could the bold words refer to previous clues?  This is likely the penultimate hint

Arrow time could also refer to hitting the play button on a video... Its symbol is an arrow

Any idea what we're looking at on that screen with the 3 .. 2?

Since it looks like it's counting down, I tried the same url backwards. /544332211 doesn't do anything.

Pretty sure that referred to the arrow in the video game to get the new intervene screen for the last clue.

for what it's worth...  3 + 2 = 5 which is what should have been the next number in the sequence 112233445 had it been ten digits long.

The green lines and dot as well as Tachyon's HUD goggles really stand out. Not sure it matters.

I don't think those numbers are counting down, so much as tracking people/dots on the image.  There'd be a 1 just offpanel for the third person there.

The numbers could still be relevant, not saying otherwise---just that I don't see them as a "countdown" in the context of the image.

Probably not relevant anymore, but http://greaterthangames.com/bethegate has an arrow prominently in the picture.

There's a green dot and a symbol like a capital Pi, like a product symbol. Dot product? Or maybe I have math on my brain.

The bolded words are almost all distinct lengths, 2 through 8:

Ra, Get, Very, Broken/Impact, Quickly, Messages

5 is missing, and two words of length 6.

 

Speaking of 5, the missing pip on the die in the VotM rulebook hasn't shown up yet, has it?
