Whats In The Box?

Does anyone know anything about the video and site “Whats In The Box?” https://www.whatsinthebox.nl/, It seems to have stuff from Half Life 2 incoperated into it, The website really doesn’t give anything more away, But after poking around I came across a website in the source code pointing to Babel Research https://www.babel-research.eu/ - forgive me if im wrong but the logos at the bottom of the page look very much like Black Mesa & Appeture science, but I don’t see were the Hanso Foundition fit’s in (something to do with Lost).
Any clues, or am I reading to much into this? , Sorry if this has been brought up before but I didn’t see anything when I searched.
Editied to include Babel Research website

All i can say is that it uses HL2 Sounds

Anyway that test film was so fucking amazing, rly liked it.
I think its kind of “Escape of city 17” Movie. I wish it will be completed soon xD

Anyone know the “secret word” ?

Nope, but if you click on certain letters of the newspapers, you get letters

Inb4 dicks and boxes.

Awww :frowning:

Before the crash there was a huge thread on this. There’s several pages about it, but there’s no affiliation with valve or half life, although there are references to it.

O.o Amazing. at the video you can heard some words: civil protection…

its like the page of aperturescience.com that you can log as an admin and see notes from carl johnson

i have founded a secret. at the end of the page appear a cat for 3 secs i clicked and i have obtenied a codified sound. i think it need be reverse to heard properly. the name of the mp3 (or wav. i dont know which. wav can be reversed and i have a program to convert it.) is discedoMalum

Its Cave Johnson.

And Whats in the Box was made by the same guys who made Escape from City 17.

I have reversed the sound. im spanish so i dont understand so much what he says: somethink like.(the ``-´´ mean that that word i didnt understand) ----- project---- de----- is fail what this means???

it was cave? uhm sry. check the cat and reverse the sound and explain me what he say… pleasee

why don’t you just upload the reversed sound?

Massive spoilers.

Has anyone found out if the filmmaker has the official permission from valve to use half-life content? I saw an interview with him, and he didn’t ever say a word about being inspired by a game in it. It actually sounded like he claimed to have invented it all by himself. That’s what made me curious.

No, it wasn’t. The people who made this were from Holland or Belgium I believe, while the people behind Escape from City 17 are clearly American.

Also, this is pretty old. :frowning:

Hhhmmm, I could’ve sworn I first saw the “Whats in the Box”: video on the Purchase Brothers Youtube channel.

Nah, but as far as I know valve doesn’t care about reusing their assets elsewhere. Unlike Microsoft, where you have to get a license to use any sounds from Halo anywhere else.

He’s a half life enthusiast, but like I said before, no actual Valve canon or official affiliation.

It’s already been revealed that it was done by some random dude who just wanted to try his abilities at post production effects. If you look on youtube there are interviews with the dude who made it…

uhm im new in this so i dont know where to upload it, if you say me ill do it.
I made a video about the easter eggs of the box with the information of wikibruce .
here goes man:

The video made by me:here

Soon: the reversed sound :slight_smile:

Well, do you have the mp3? Yes? Then do this:

1.Go on this website: https://mediafire.com/
2.Click on Upload Files to Mediafire
3.Choose “I want to upload without and account”
4.Browse for your file and press “Open”
5.Click on Start Upload then “My Files”
6.Click on View my Uploaded Files, and then click on the file
7.Copy the url and then post it in here.

They were clearly Canuckers. Did you even visit their website?

well. do something. do a screenshot of that website. then go to paint and paste: change the black color to grey, and then appear in black a lot of letters that if you see it puts: The box = Hell. about the reversed sound it says: ``Found. Project attainable has failed´´ just that. ill upload if anyone say how. thanks…
