In 2020, an online friend-group was fighting much more than just COVID. After Ashley Davis, a young girl who was the star of their friend group, takes her life tragically, they all think they'll never recover. What starts as grief slowly begins to seep into their digital lives, especially when someone seems to be trapped within the internet; haunting them and screaming to be heard.

Your typical gaming YouTuber fan tries to make a dream come true, though he is not very good. Normal gaming videos till they become less frequent, and something begins to inhabit the channel. Your job is to figure out what it is, and if it should stay, or go.
Videos will contain glitched codes that interrupt normal gameplay. Deciphering may show something bigger than a one man show.

The Elemon Chronicles
4/6/26, 10:48 PM
Greetings and welcome to Elemon (population, as far as I can tell, of 1,000). I am Sky-fire, a traveler and researcher (much like yourself). You may be wondering why none of the Elemonians (l-m-on-e-ans) are here to greet you. Well, unfortunately, they're a bit shy around new travelers. Don't worry, though. I'm sure, with time, that will change.

Societas VHS
8/5/25, 12:50 AM
Societas Purificationis Mediae, a mysterious group behind a strange discovered VHS from 2002, uses the analog medium to warn of the corruptive effects of cyberspace. Specifically, they refer to the internet as "an egregore of our collective unconscious." The tape provides esoteric rituals, an exploration of media and consciousness, and what we must do to be healed. Is this a group of internet-hating luddites or cultish harbingers of the coming apocalypse?

Gnosis Arcanum
8/5/25, 12:36 AM
Gnosis Arcanum is an evolving unfiction experience that challenges participants to peel back layers of digital and physical deception. At its core, it's a narrative about a clandestine brotherhood fighting against unseen forces – "algorithmic architects" and "dream weavers" – who manipulate information and perception to control humanity. Players become "Seekers" on a journey to uncover ancient knowledge, decipher hidden messages, and engage in real-world actions to reclaim autonomy of thought. There's a lot hidden online, and the rabbit hole goes deep.

Apocrypha Hominis
8/4/25, 4:09 PM
Kept hidden from general society, the events of the year 2000 led to the spread of demonic forces across the globe’s major cities. This was a punishment for our reliance on logic and technology- as we strayed away from faith. In response, the USOF, a global organisation, was created- using “emanation” magic to defend, as well as keep the presence of demons secret. This involved investigation to so called “angelic signals” from the sun with the hope for its defensive application, but what they discovered was not as complaint as they expected.
