Took some time to re-read all these posts but haven’t actually clicked any links so can only go off what has been shared here.
Here are some rambling thoughts:::
Noticed the word ‘shadow’ appears in the logs & in the poem. Seems less techytalk & more word play or directly referencing something/someone.
Discobot quote seems to suggest looking to within our own ranks but I wasnt sure about why discobot even popped up or if that quote was even relevant.
None of our resident ‘Shadow’ users have been very active here lately so that is probably a dead end.
I wonder if the final line of the poem refers to watching the stars such as the ones in NMS and in the website’s interactive page. @sheralmyst said the points highlight when interacted with…
If so the the line about no wings has yet to be decyphered…
I think the landscape image is a Google maps streetview pic & that the wooden ‘skeleton’ object is a some sort of timber railing at the edge of a bridge or something. The ‘face’ looks like it may be an information sign.
I tried using google streetview in the parks near the domain supplier address @toddumptious dug up very early on. There are parks & ponds & wooden bridges nearby but nothing nearby matches the image.
In a log entry there is a line that states something about they see the tower but not the one within
I’m wondering if the ‘one’ is actually a ‘1’ & there is some code thing hiding in there that someone cleverer than I can find.
The rhs of the tower image appears to have a similar colouring as the landscape picture & I was wondering if the reflections in the glass were of the same area.
Anyway that’s about all I can come up with.

I did a basic google search to see if shadowcheck1912 (post 224 above) meant anything & besides a clothing style & references to getting banned on certain forums, a WT looking website (missing the ‘e’) with what looks to be a Matrix themed log-in page came up.
I didn’t try to access it but given the Matrix-like Architect username & the ‘banned’ usernames being something related to the shadowcheck terminology I just thought I’d share my find here in case someone else wants to look closer.
Edit:
BE AWARE THAT SOME SECURITY WARNINGS POPPED UP IN RESPONSE TO THIS SITE SO INVESTIGATE FURTHER AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I think the domain info is all random and false, though they may have used this info retroactively. They’re using a service that hides details from a WHOIS look up for domain names etc, which is what I discovered when I looked up the registered company of KnockKnockWHOISnotthere LLC.
The points that light up and morph around your mouse pointer in the background on the main page also changes it’s shape if you change the zoom level of the browser, it seems to be a common freeware graphical interface, it’s referenced in the page source but I can’t remember the name for it but I don’t think they’ve coded or manipulated it specifically for the website, it just seems to have been chosen for it’s similarity to the WT Aesthetic, perhaps to draw us ARG heads in initially who are nostalgic for those times. It definitely did the trick.
I tried googling ShadowCheck1912 as you did, and all I got were results for this very thread, and the page on projectskyscraper website where this info was originally found.

So I thought that if we have the skyscraper image with some rgb pieces on it, that could be a clue for some rgb filtering and I saw on the HavenMap online site that they had done a bit of rgb filtering for the tr4ce image, so I did that for the skyscraper pic. Notably some pieces do disappear such as the duplicate image of the lady reading with the green filter. I’m wondering if this is some sort of key of what we have to do for other puzzles. I’ll post the other images as replies.

red and blue filter overlay
I’ll post the blue one later, but basically just open the image in a image manipulation software, add a layer, fill it with blue, change the layer to multiply and it should do the right effect.

The day this ARG thread popped up, I was in the game building a base that was a memorial to WT season 2’s dreamers. Particularly the ones we could not save.
It’s been a pretty crazy few days, great to see it pull so many people back here to relive those crazy ARG days.

Seems there are two different reddit threads now about the ARG.

I’ll post this here as well, some one on the NMS discord mentioned that the shadowcheck image could be a rotated spectrogram. Taking the same key as the tower, I put the image through filters, rotated it and then uploaded them to a image to audio site. Not sure if I can upload the audio but it kind of sounds like numbers being stated, obviously very distorted.

Ran out of likes for the day but, nice work Charlie!
I think boomstick Joe tried somethign similar earlier but may have ran it through at its original orientation/without the colour filters.
They came out with creepy sentinel sounding sounds,
@M1Silencer you may be able to use this same site @BoomstickJoe used to host your results too and embed them here.

The initial reddit post now has over 10K views … there’s obvious interest.
And there’s a similar post at Light No Fire (reddit).
