Timeline
May 30, 2022
At 18:47 UTC on May 30, 2022, the Twitter account lostboy_84 tweeted out an emoji of a heart on fire.[1] Since this Twitter account was used to facilitate updates and clues during the Fall 2021 ARG, it was speculated that a new ARG was beginning.
183010165.com/, the site used for much of the previous ARG, was found to have been updated. Previously functioning as a mock instant messaging type program, it was changed to look and function like a Linux terminal. Users were prompted to run the command "sudo apt full-upgrade -y" to install an "update package". After doing so, a considerable amount of text filled the terminal window, with one of the last lines being "https://183010165.com/mdnght/I'm at the centre of your blue heart. A drink will kill me. What am I? mp4-include InRelease".
That particular clue was a reference to the recent release of the Change Your Heart or Die vinyl, which was colored blue. Towards the center of the record the word "FIRE" was etched into each copy. That lead to the discovery of "https://183010165.com/mdnght/fire.mp4", a short video which contained a previously unseen artwork featuring a TV floating in space alongside a short clip of Golden Gate, a song that had previously been recorded solo by Tyler Lyle. A different teaser of the song was also hidden on the Change Your Heart or Die vinyl.
Examination of the MP4's metadata revealed that the audio file used in its creation was named "01_Golden Gate (Instrumental)_24bit_96kHz_Final_Master_3.18.22_LS_Edit.wav", and the image used was "heroes-bg-notext.png".
