Don't forget the cowboy hat!
Got a Tidal Clock yesterday and The Third Scroll a few minutes ago. This is a little addicting.
What do they say?
Yes, the hat..I think it's time for me to go back to my old avatar.
Tidal Clock - Tells you when the next minute of lunacy occurs. (24hr cooldown)
The Third Scroll - The alchemists have vanished; only their curse remains.
I guess the scrolls are lore for the game, not some secret weapon on the website.

'Course we can:
Bloodborne is practically the next best thing to a 3D Castlevania anyway!
The way the promos and this teaser site have been talking about alchemy as a running theme, I'd be more inclined to think that the "disease" relates to something like that.
Wouldn't be too much of a stretch to imagine some type of alchemical epidemic propagated from the search for the Philosopher's Stone, turning stuff to gold and/or Elixir of Life.

What does everyone think of the "Ironic, isn't it? That I can only destroy you with your help." Obviously, our help is Kickstarter, but who is "I" trying to destroy us. Is Iga going to be the antagonist? It just seems too specific and I don't think any of this text is presented to us without deliberation.
Maybe a reference to the game being hard like Ecclesia was? Igarashi makes a hard game, but we help him by crowdfunding it.
Like I said earlier...I want to believe that means the game will be a tough, but fair challenge. "Destroying" us because we should expect to die a lot!

I would hope this game would go a slightly different route. I mean, with the whole demonology thing(72 Demons of the Lesser Key of Solomon) and alchemist thing, maybe have a main villain that's not a vampire, but an unholy figure similar to Aleister Crowley, as well as naming certain historical figures, such as John Dee. You could still have monsters of all sorts(horror is horror, so there can still be vampires, zombies, werewolves and such), but distance itself somewhat from Castlevania and Dracula just a bit.

Which clan? I got the tidal clock, but not the third scroll...
Not surprisingly, the next "minute of lunacy" is "hours away". These clocks are not very specific. :\

I am Valefor the Venerable and I am here to represent #ClanKatana.
So it is said and so it shall be!
EDIT: "We are meeting in the New World. An army of Igavania players and developers." IGA knows how to melt my heart <3

I hope that's in Japan Standard Time because that would mean Sunday 9pm CDT for me and getting the news 14, or so, hours earlier.

You guys all got cool names. Why do I have to be Naberius the Naked. -_-;;
Something could happen tonight already?
Nah, that message is from two days ago.
Me too, but I think the initial reveal came on US time.

I fully agree with you!
But I'm just saying that if they wanted to, they could use Dracula, Alucard, Elizabeth Bartley (who is, in reality, Elizabeth Báthory), Carmilla and various other characters, because they're historical people and/or from public domain literature/films.Storm Kyleis

If I had to take a guess, that would be PST, so 2PM EST for me.

I'm assuming that through the weekend we'll get some sort of link to whatever is happening at 11 and maybe a more specific time. Either way, I have off that day and I'll be sitting around waiting for it.
What? No one (that I've seen at least) thinks this is a hoax at this point.
I hope so. Because, right now, this is in the 'too good to be true' category for me.
Igavania is literally my favorite genre, if you can call it that. The SotN,GBA/DS castlevanias are some of my favorite games, and to get a brand new one feels like it can't be real, like I haven't been good enough to deserve this.
I'm excited too. I was sick of the formula after OoE but at this point I'd rather have that than nothing at all. Hopefully this is familiar with its own identity. Being nervous this is fake makes sense, but the evidence is looking like it stacks up.

Said it before, I'll say it again: I hope it's such a shameless rip off of Casltevania. Almost all of the enemies (bosses included) are open domain, so he could grab damn near everything. And I love the feel and atmosphere of the Igavania's so much.
Fingers crossed!
Fingers crossed!

Don't forget, he said the developers and players were meeting in the New World. So it's probably Pacific Time.
Keep in mind that in Lament of Innocence, the entire reason Dracula came to be in the first place was due to alchemy. Don't rule vampirism out just yet
A message like
sort of worries me.
That doesn't sound like something someone would say themselves if they were making a game in their namesake.
How certain are we that this is actually Iga running the site? It seems weird that Iga would say "An army of Igavania players and developers."

It says #igavania right on the site. And igavania.com redirects to it. Use of that term isn't anything new...

Also I imagine it's the English campaign staff using US fan terminology since the campaign is mostly playing off US specific stuff. I imagine the Camp-Fire campaign will be handled a bit differently.
