Horse_ebooks was a twitter created by a Russian spammer. It took little fragments of the books and then tweeted them out along with a clickbank affiliate link. Eventually it caught the attention of weird twitter, tumblr and news sites as they posted/retweeted some of the weirder tweets you can see here: http://favstar.fm/users/horse_ebooks which led to the account having 190,000+ followers.
Pronunciation Book was a YouTube channel that pronounced words and the occasional phrase for people and nothing else. Just your regular informative channel where a person could find out how to pronounce the names of the guys in One Direction to Saoirse, Ulysses, tsundere and everything in between. Nothing to strange; every so often a weird video would pop out (and they were all early hints to the games' characters or stories), like how to refuse drugs or pronouncing how to ask for help, but suddenly this video came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouiDKPYV_zI and it continued for 77 days until culminating in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_HaMlLJ7Jk
Both accounts ended with a link to this site & FMV game: http://www.bearstearnsbravo.com/
Never played it, but it had me wondering if any other game has ever had something so elaborate in an attempt to promote it.
