Audio Diary

Audio Diaries are the main narrative device of the BioShock series. They were recorded by the citizens of Rapture, either as notes for themselves or as messages for other residents. When the player picks up an audio diary, the player can choose to play the message left by one of Rapture's citizens (Unless the diary automatically plays).

All of the audio diaries found Rapture were made by Accu-Vox, a sub-company of Fontaine Futuristics. Accu-Vox managed to manufacture and market compact, audio-tape technology at least five years before it was produced on the surface.

There's Something in the Sea Event
On January 30, 2010 during a There's Something In The Sea Augmented Reality Game (ARG), participants in Las Vegas were delivered telegrams from the Speedy Brothers delivery service. Along with the telegram from Orrin Oscar Lutwidge (O.O.L) was a envelope enclosed with a complex equation which was a code for the event. On January 31st, event partakers were to meet the Blue Pawn of the The International Order of the Pawns at a public storage facility. One by one the participants were taken inside of the location and were shown a storage unit with a combination lock, in which the code from the complex equation matched. Once opened, the Blue Pawn asked the participant to grab the audio diary and listen to its message from O.O.L. Only 3 members are known to have been able to keep the audio diary, and are all members on the 2Kforums.
