I don't think the tape is a MacGuffin... the way Krin spoke about it made it seem highly central to the plot... not to mention the way Felicity was after it.
On the KrinLabs forum, Krin himself gave a "clue" of sorts...

Notice how you never seem to see any day light in the entire game...
He did this when we were speculating what was on the tape in Sonny 1, but much more often... this is his only clue. They just aren't into it any more =( haha
Maybe there's no sunlight in the game because there's no sunlight in the entire area at all? Maybe there's NEVER any sunlight, and this Utopia is the one place where the sun can get through... That intense beacon of light looks bright enough to be sunlight. =o
"You are my sunshine" seems to mention dreams all the time (all but one of the non-chorus parts)
Just something someone might go on with if they see something in it. I have no clue what it could be (if anything)
This next part is just something my unconscious put together... still don't get it myself...
But hearing that Seed is worse than a nuclear retaliation (if I understood their gasps correctly)... remembering what happened to Gregor Samsa...
It just seems that, they found a way to make Sonny go mad and lose all sense of identity by implanting some seed in his mind that will grow and spread.
Also, I need some insight into why exactly the other men were so shocked at the idea of using the Seed...
Is the Seed too cruel? Overkill (an insane waste of resources)? Banned (due to previous use and the consequences)? Dangerous to them/people other than their targets?
Maybe figuring out the next zones' themes will help? Assuming he continues counter-clockwise, I'd say he's headed to:
-Some sort of temple? It looks somewhat like the ancient greek structures you see in pictures. This style has been copied a lot for important buildings though, especially governmental buildings... Is he headed straight to the shadowy table from the end?
-Most noticeable of the unused (so far) areas... the huge glowy light surrounded by rocks? Graves? O.o One thing to ponder is where the light is coming from: the centre of the circle going up, or is this the only sunlight in the game? Utopia alert? It's a little too obvious for a Krin story, but it's all I got.
-Bridge... my guess is that it's scenery like the mountains and the forest, but we should try to avoid ruling anything out. =D
-This one I have no clue... Has several features of a village obviously... But it also looks like it would fit as a circus (I doubt that's what it is, I'm just pointing out its ambiguity)
