SOLVE IT! NOW! I tried numerous of combinations, but it's fun to pull some of you guys in I guess.
People believe it's a find and replace (5 becomes -). But if you keep doing this, you eventually end up at exactly the same value (there are like 5 infinite loops).
Also, the l becomes l is suspicious, it might be a hint (see fourth sequence).
The next step has been reached! A smart person on the Eidos forums got us on the right track: http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=120594&page=18

If you take all capitals from the long first message, you'll end up with:

Apply the find and replace technique, and you'll end up with:

It was so simple!
More progress.
In the background-image of the site (http://13311tower.com/images/13311tower.jpg) some GPS coordinates were hidden in the EXIF-information. These lead to Ayers Rock in Australia, also known as Uluru.
Next there was a sound-file hidden in the HTML-source. It was morse-code, when playing the sound in reverse, the morse-code gave:
11M13clinic
Throwing these together, we had the login combination for the All-Seeing-Eye on the http://13311tower.com website. The following image is thrown back: http://13311tower.com/images/3CrsBcJciE.jpg
EDIT
According to the producer we solved the puzzle and just have to sit it out: http://twitter.com/#!/DavidAnfossi/status/108649283082911744
Wait for what though!?
Glad you did all this, cause I would have never figured it out ;)

No idea, some say it's far from over.
Some say it's far from over, some say it hasn't even begun.
The one thing I know is that humanity deserves better. They deserve to live a life without being under the thumb of some unknown, uncontrollable power. They deserve the truth. The whole truth.
Love this game. (guess which ending I got)
(I'm too exhausted after playing this game for 3 straight hours and finally finishing it and having my mind blown, so I'll just say that I enjoyed looking at the half-eaten muffin and am happy to resign myself to letting everyone else figure it out).
