Oakley's World

Oakley's World

8/4/25, 2:56 PM

Oakley's World is a virtual pet type game, that has several mini-games to it. In general, this initially seems cutesy. Until you get a bit further into it and realize there's more going on, than first appears. There's also the accompanying blog posts (at https://oakleysworlddev.blogspot.com/ ), that, at first, seem like just normal game updates (until you look a bit deeper and realize there's more to it than that). What exactly is going on?

Eldritch Eclectics

Eldritch Eclectics

8/4/25, 2:37 PM

A mossy and dilapidated vending machine bearing the name “Eldritch Eclectics” is stocked exclusively with strange and grotesque curios. It never appears in the exact same place twice or looks quite the same. The vending machine always features a static laden screen, which occasionally plays unsettling broadcasts, including adverts for its own contents.

A dedicated website has been created to emulate the intended experience as best as possible. The website is an actual functional shop, selling real items. Secrets and puzzles are strewn throughout the website for curious minds to uncover the dark story behind Eldritch Eclectics and its curios.
