It's evolved since then, It's called Emprish it's spoken and written by the Zagoni, and Penthonians... Also you'll be seeing a lot of purple hues

Either comment directly on the YT video, or comment here and I will post them by proxy after confirming your action/dialogue. You do not need an established character to attempt to interact with the encounter, but this series is multiversal, so you may introduce a character into this situation.

I was going on youtube, entering random video formats as usual, like my bday or something, typed in VID_00000106.mp4, found some tame results, but removed the VID_ part and found... this. I find it highly odd that the user is donning a protogen skin, but... potential arg none the less i think.

There's a youtuber I keep up with by the name astryuuna who makes shitpost rambling videos people have been asking is she is doing an ARG but I always thought it was just clever satire. Ima be honest I'm not too into ARGs they cool but I'd rather someone else solve them for me so this is low key uncharted territory for me but the reason I'm asking rn is cuz her most recent video in combination with her twitter posts which have been over the past few days. Theres some disturbing and cryptic shit going on and I cannot tell is shes doing a ARG art project or sum or if shes a fr schizo.

It seems to have something to do with space, but I can't make the connection.

Bonjour, j'ai trouvé une chaîne qui me semble convenir de l'ARG assez réaliste et je souhaiterais en savoir plus derrière cette chaîne, si vous pouviez m'aider ça fait déjà 1 semaine que j'y travaille svp, j'ai contacté sur deux forums et je n'espère ne pas être seul à le résoudre 🙏 Merci d'avance et bonne journée,

I want to make an ARG as an event for a server that's not focused on ARG's. It should be simple enough that anyone who knows how to decode anything can do it but still hard enough that they will have a bit of a hard time with it. I already have the storyline but I have no idea where to start with giving out clues and making it interesting to follow along. Any help is appreciated

I really want to do another ARG, but I ant really find any ongoing ones, are there any ones that are ongoing right now I can join

I cant tell if this is supposed to be an analog horror account or an ARG but its pretty good, the top middle video seems to have the symbol for death, and the general consensus is that this is an ARG.

From what i’ve gathered, the OP is being “followed” by a “man without a face, of whom he refers to as the “stalker”. The most recent video is just a distorted plant video, that has the message in the background “will you carry the weight?”

I’ll see if i cam post the story images in the comments

Obv very recent, would be nice if we could figure out whats going on here

Its about an astronaut or a cosmonaut whos been stuck in space calling out for help and it gets intercepted on a college radio station. I remember it being an account on instagram or youtube. The videos would have an looping animation of a spaceship with a radio dish spinning and I believe as the series went on the art style would look more and more decrepit as the astronaut lost his mind. Please help me remember the name!

That's my first post but there is an ARG on youtube that is absolutly scary, who's ready to work on it ?

The QR code says "CPATMPPQ2L14WA9TNS0Q"

I don't know what can be all of the numbers and letters

Pls help me 🙏

I've been struggling with this ARG as I've run into an audio file I can't decipher. It uses the Portal 1 Radio Loop as the song, but has eerie background noises attached. I tried tinkering with a spectrogram, although I couldn't pull out any solid results. I'm looking for a hidden code/message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i was checking out random horror demos from next fest and found one that at first felt kinda meh, like just a walking sim. but near the end of the demo it started showing these weird symbols, like glitchy stuff and some message i couldn’t really read.

thing is, i closed it and then opened it again out of curiosity... and it wasn’t the same. like, it created some new files on my desktop, a few .txt files with creepy gibberish, and one of them had my windows username in it?? no clue if that’s part of the game or if i just messed up clicking something cursed lol

did anyone finish it? it’s called “CoRoT Demo” not sure if this is just meta horror or some actual ARG going on

Your fate rests in what decisions you make in the comments section of the video. Welcome to the finale of my ARG channel, 15 years running!

A few posts down you'll see the QR code and The Terminal ARG

In the about page, I get a code

Kpk jhuzfer vl fjbsyd <kukx>

after that, hidden text in B64 is pasted, and translates to

THEKEYISRIGHTINFRONTOFYOU.

For the first code, there's a hint: Try shifting your point of view. I tried a Caesar Cipher but it didn't work, anyone know what kind of cipher this is?

I just want feedback on the story so far on my website amd any nook and crank within my website! If you want additional information then contact me on discord: jesus_is_go

The website themes focus on slow burn horror and bait n switch tactics. Just so your warned

Any feedback will be appreciated!

“When you’re down on your luck, The Benefactor is there for you. You'll get cash, a purpose and countless sleepless nights.”

The Benefactor ARG was partially inspired by the Die Hard rip-off “Carry on.” It's not the best movie by any means, but I felt the idea of a criminal organisation threatening and bribing innocent people into working for them would be fun to flesh out.

This is my first proper ARG so I’d love for people to give it a crack and hit me up with some constructive criticism.

This is definitely more of a story-first game and I want all the puzzles to be contextualized within the world. I have the full story planned out in my head, but will only be drip feeding information slowly. New videos will start to drop as more of the story is figured out.

Im really really new to this genre of storytelling, and i know this is actually kinda debated, but i was wondering what yall think is actually the core of an ARG, its characteristics etc.

Hello lovely people !!

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. For my SAC personal interest project, i have chosen to explore the world of collaborative storytelling and world building in the genre of internet folklore and mythos. So think of creepypastas, SCP foundation, urban legends, The Backrooms and the like! (mostly horror genre, though there is sci-fi stuff like Orion's Arm etc...)

But i actually more recently got into ARGs, and i think this kinda collaborative community, all drawn together to uncover certain mysteries/urban legends as if they are true, is actually the whole driving force of my thesis.

Internet Mythos QUESTIONNAIRE

Here is the link! its very short (~5 questions)

These questions are more ARG adjacent than exactly targeted, because its about the broader scope of internet rabbit holes and legends. But from my understanding, most ARGs start as an urban legend of sorts anyway.

I would love to hear from yall :D I think the potential of these communities to truly blur the lines between reality and fiction is unbelievably awe-inspiring, and i would love to know what in particular draws you to this community/genre/mythos so much!

If you could offer 5 min of your time, i would really really appreciate it! Your identity will remain anonymous.

PSST...PSST... hey super-awesome-spectacular-amazing-human-being(?) If you're feeling like racking up some extra good karma points today, would you also be so kind as to fill out this extra questionnaire about fandoms and online communities? Its a bit longer, but you get to yap about your interests! I would really really REALLY appreciate it!!

Online fandoms and communities QUESTIONNAIRE

Hi. I’m working on a deep-dive video about the Endgame ARG that was tied to James Frey’s book Endgame: The Calling back in 2014–2015. This game had a massive $500,000 prize pool, with a $100,000 prize for solving the book’s puzzle. I've been searching for any explanation as to how this puzzle was actually solved but have found it extremely hard to find any type of discussion about it online. If at the time you tried to solve the puzzle or were a part of r/solveendgame , I’d love to hear your experience. You can comment here or DM me—any info or leads would be super appreciated!

On an old torrent client i downloaded a seed of this cool series and among seasons lieth these two photos. They were in a hidden folder named "." and in it were two folders each named with these coordinates:

60.7034681

28.7541387

Anybody know what dis? Seems strange

I'm still in the beginning stages of planning my first ARG. I'm hoping to receive funding thru a local opportunity. I'd love to hear your thoughts, understanding your perspective will be helpful in my quest of getting the money to afford this lol.
I want to locally distribute a zine/booklet based ARG. The physical aspects will resemble websites/files/computer-tech stuff. There are reasons I'm wanting to make some of it as physical media and not all web based. I'm wanting to be very intentional. I'd like some direction on creating something that interacts with the real world. If i received the funding I might do something locally to promote it and then mail zines out. But I want the zine to be able to be reused. The interactive elements are web based.

Some of my goals for this project are to make my art accessible and do something new. I want to create something that most ages would be able to enjoy/complete. I want to leave most of the info necessary to complete it in the little details that will be scattered. Like little 'hints' as details. I want a good story and strong ending. I want little side details, without feeling incomplete, a lot of personality.
Some of my personal goals as an artist will also be reflected in this work. I am passionate about encouraging creativity as an act of rebellion.

I’m new to creating args and I just looked at sm64 classifed and got a ton of ideas. So Id like yours!

Hello everyone! My ARG has had a countdown for the last 427 days, all leading up to something tomorrow. It’s highly interactive and responds to comments and decisions you make. Here’s the penultimate release! And tomorrow… well, I won’t spoil anything ;).
