I searched online for the painting, but I couldn't locate it's source. I definitely think it's an interesting painting, especially the connection of the XIII on the skull to the tarot death card...thought I'm not sure it's specifically connected to the Secret.

Here's an enhanced version of the painting...

Hm, it looks like the crow is outlined in red, like you can do to cameras, or as I've heard, the 'all seeing eye'.

Also, the picture hits at a double personality of sorts, the women seem to be blended together.

Could the two women be the two main women in the web series? The new assassin woman has black hair (ep. 5) similar to the artwork, and the female FBI agent has blond hair (she interrogated Dallas in ep.3). Just an observation.

It is intentional, but it happens in more than just Rats. Its happened to me in Framing Frames if you fail to stealth with the paintings and in Firestarter, for Overpass escape and Cafe escape. But what im interested in is the fact that the player starts downed during that chase and it coincides with the page.

you know, if i was the worlds best troll game studio i would hide secret messages in a shadow mapping.....

I now have a feeling this is on the right path, for some reason. When lights were mentioned on a steam forum and bout how they blinked Almir winked, giving us a "your close" nod. Though i think it is not how the lights blink but the lights themselves. Rats, Firestarter, and any other hiest that is at night deals with lights shutting off and on. Add the fact that you can shoot out bulbs and most light sources in these maps gives me the impression that we should be looking in that direction. There is also no apparent need for a flashlight mod (at least IMO)seein as most maps are lit fairly well even without the mod.

I played Rats yesterday, and one thing hit me while playing an escape mission (no not a bullet). The garage escape started off by one player downed, what if you just leave him there? You have a timer you need to beat in order to complete the escape and it starts the moment the player is downed. Very close to this http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/577871834784043161/35D2050CC806B337FC3424735188DE2CFFCBACCD/

This should be updated to include ep. 5&6. And especially ep6, with the dialogue being so cryptic ( referencing to Gabe and one of the Gangsters that orders **12** guns)

Umadbra posted this (its from the saferoom though) http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=171644085 and may be possible in Firestarter. The flashlight seems like the way to go, the scope is just a hunch.

I just tested roof spoting in firestarter, i didnt see anything out of the ordinary. Though when the money is lit, the smoke is visible from the roof.

This brings me to think that maybe you need some kind of scope (if there even is anything to see). Pissing in the wind at this point.

Spot on, i was just about to write bout the direction or possible things we need to look for.

Im very certain that the person needs inspire or has something to do with mastermind, or a pattern that signifies mastermind (the infamous pattern).

Sounded too simple, we might need something more. The image of the treasure on fire points to the money being burned on Firestarter, though it depicts a lookout or someone above the burning treasure looking for something.... It can be two things, the room itself where the power switch is located ( its strangely large for just a simple switch), or simply being on the roof looking for something to change.

Ill see if i can test this when I get home from work.

Didint some one say it was about the blinking server light in the saferoom?
