Huh!
EDIT: I know there was a text error somewhere in Dark Archive - any chance it's a remedy for that? What does it say?
That's a good question. It has three weird shapes, one that is a small rhombus near the top middle of the page, and one near the bottom left that is a weird small-ish rectangle near the bottom left. also, there are three words: athame (which is a small ceremonial knife according to my research) encased in a squiggly circle (which is the last shape) near the middle-left of the page, inheritor which is in the bottom right of the page, and prince of darkness which is in the bottom right. Finally, the #DARKARCHIVE is in the bottom middle of the page. This is why I think it's an ARG.

There's a reddit thread up, and people in the comments claim to have pages 1, 10, and 22.

Seems like only Subscribers are getting them?
Possibly. But seems selective atm. I didn't get one, for instance. Given the page numbers this may have more to do with each individual getting a certain page at a certain time. But who knows.
EDIT: I stand corrected. I now have page 13. Still, may be tied to timing. I've been checking since the posts were made.
EDIT EDIT: Gonna throw a screenshot of page 13 on EldritchDream's Twitter post if anyone wants to see it. They are trying to consolidate information there. I couldn't figure out which page it corresponded to. I had some ideas, but they don't seem to be correct.

I have page 2.
Any chance you could share it with these fine folks on Reddit? They don't seem to have it yet.

I have page 21, looking at the extra image, it is a 'star pattern' and circle that is the clue to match it to a Dark Archive page.
In this case, page 21 is a match for page 97 of the Dark Archive (p98 of PDF)
The other mark reveals the portion of the page that had the hidden message, in this case, "hiding in Absalom." is the secret message in page 21.
In this case I guess I'm a knight of knowledge, not of secrets... since I'm revealing knowledge, rather than guarding secrets. I'll have to keep my eyes on my back in the coming days.
Looking, I think 10 appears to map to page 136 (137 in pdf) But I think the dagger would match up and the paragraphs relating to Asmo... and Iomedae seem to match up. I'm not positive if the match comes over "Malevolence" perhaps. The harder part is there is no word on the top half to reveal. But it might be revealing the patch worn by the central Tengu that looks like a flame.
Or it might mean I'm matching it wrong.
edit: I don't really use Twitter, but just figured out how to see the thread for the above post. Looks like they already had the pages I had matched.

Does anyone have 17 yet? I think I just got it.
I'm not at home yet, but I'll share it once I am.
That is the page I just got. It has 4 words on it, but if I need to hold them over a particular page of the hardback book, I am out of luck. I gave away my hardback copy and only have the pocket edition, and it could take me a couple of days to get the "lost" page printed.
So it looks like this one will be up to you.

If you can share a screenshot, folks will gladly do the rest of the work themselves!

Since I haven't gotten my subscriptions since May and have multiple tickets no one from customer service replies to, I thought the email saying "new download available" from Paizo might finally be something ... but no it's apparently a random page from a book. Fantastic. Thanks. Bang up job.
Do you keep replying to the tickets asking what is the hold up?
I made that mistake a few times. Apparently, their automated systems move you to the back of the queue each time you do that.

The full thing has been decoded and posted to Reddit, but it’s honestly not all that much to go off of:
Interesting to have it all solved, but I don’t know that anything has been revealed, especially with the knowledge on the casefiles:

Random thought, now that it has been solved, partially it seems: what if the random artifacts seen on some of the pages, like the shoulder of Korakai, are some invisible creature on perceivable with one strong of mind? The "observing with the mind" gave me the idea. Other than that, I've got nothing.

I am very satisfied with the final solution to the whole puzzle.
