Moritz Walter@alpha_ninja pointed me to FEZ code, which is the name of this particular code, it maps directly to our beloved letters:
This makes it almost to easy, but let's see:
N A T B Y I D I E _ H V O T O S V F I T V _ N _ E I S _ _ I T I R G _ I T S _ T T H I _ H _ E _ H T S W I P V N E _ _ I N O E O L Y A L K I N T E O _ L _ N _ _ S V S _ Y T T C S _ E N O L R L _ C A O V E Y E I A R T _ S _ A _ N C _ A S T R W N H S R _ O _ I O _ T E T _ Y S T Y O _ O F E H _ O P C _ I T _ W V _ L E N _ Y I _ Y O V D T O N C O S E _ H V _ A V E N M A _ _ N _ _ _ E T G _ N F Y A _ _ O _ O O E T _ I O _ T R T T _ _ D _ _ _ _ E _ A _ _ C W Y M _ M L _ O H O P _ _ V _ M Y V T _ E C _ P _ _ _ _ V K _ L W A T _ E _ _ E O R A _ R _ _ T V E O _ Y _ _ E L _ _ _ W _ _ _ D S S _ H _ _ _ _ O T _ E _ _ _ I _ O _ R _ _ _ _ F P _ E _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ R M _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E _ _
Hey, there's a text in their! How nice! It reads:
NEVERTHELESS I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK
A FIGHT YOU CANNOT WIN
THIS IS A SEARCH YOU CANNOT COMPLETE
BUT I WILL NOT STOP YOU FOR WHY WOULD I
YOU THINK YOU ARE CLOSE YET YOU ARE SO FAR
IT IS POINTLESS TO EVEN ATTEMPT TAO STOP ME
DONT EVEN TRY TO FIND ME
IS IT NOT CLEAR YET THAT I AM EVERYWHERE
What do we get from this.. hum.. there's a typo in there! In the 6th line, 7th word should be "TO", not "TAO". Another clue? An interval code? Can we really not solve this as it's said in the text? Is the clue between the lines?
First, I wanted to use the last indicator from the code, which is the "sign" (if a symbol is color inverted or not). I'm just outputting it as upper (1, white border) and lower (-1, black border) case:
NevERtHEless i WIsH yov GooD lUCk
a FIGHT you caNNOT win
ThiS iS a SEArcH yOU cANNot CoMPleTE
But i WILl nOt StOP You For wHY WoulD i
yOU thInk yOu ARe CloSe yET yoU aRe sO Far
IT iS poINtLESS To eVEn ATTeMpt TAo STOp me
dOnT Even tRy tO Find mE
iS IT Not CleAR YET tHAt I AM EveRYwhERE
Bummer, still clueless. What have I overlooked?

Are you sure? yes | no
the inverted signs give you a weird repeating binary code.

That's just creepy... why would there be unicode like this!?!
Are you sure? yes | no
Doesn't have to be unicode. Could be anything with 12 values.
Are you sure? yes | no
You seem to know more :D but please don't tell :)
Are you sure? yes | no
Over in the other project's chat, we already solved the first part of the puzzle and found something on the image that was on infotomb. I won't give you any more spoilers though @davedarko :P
