Field Studies Institute

The Field Studies Institute collects and studies objects from another reality; what they call a Spacetime Deviation. Two members of the Archives Division work to digitize the collection of transient objects, which collectively tell the story of this other reality, and the characters who seemingly don't belong there.

Someone wakes up somewhere they don't recognize. What's even more mysterious, though, is how they can't move forward more than a few steps. What exactly is going on?

Cradle of Thought and Omen Archives

3/4/24, 1:02 AM

The Cradle of Thought and Omen is an organization dedicated to the successful documentation of Omens that have been overlooked or forgotten in the past. Omens, or paranormal events that have taken place on Earth, have caused quite a shift in recent years, unfortunately pointing to an increase in their presence. To make matters worse, a culmination of them has been discovered somewhere at this time. The organization’s goal is to gain and publish information so that they are closer to understanding and documenting what eludes them.

Hey There, It's Hickory

3/4/24, 12:08 AM

A few teens and young adults from an isolated little town have found their way to Tumblr. Now thrown headfirst into the deep end of the Internet, suddenly plagued with eerie nightmares about Wolves and ashes, and questioning everything they've ever known, it's just a matter of time before they dig up some dark secrets... What remains to be seen, though, is just how those secrets will change them.

Hailey's Encounters

11/10/23, 10:33 PM

Hailey moves into a new home, in a place called Sombre Oak. She feels like she should, even though she's not sure why. Moving somewhere isn't normally something strange, but for Hailey it's the very thing that starts an odd series of events. Because of this, she starts a blog, to talk about what's been happening to her (even though she's not totally sure herself.)

A Look Into Carroll Cove

11/10/23, 4:09 PM

This art project is a look into a small yet strange town filled with anomalies, where the paranormal happens on a day to day basis. However, no one seems to care, except for a librarian who is tasked to talk about the town's history for its 154th anniversary being hosted by the library. The project is akin to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion and Gravity Falls. It is presented as a short daily vlog with episodes exploring a singular topic from different aspects of Carroll Cove which ultimately acts as a backstory to our vtuber lore and other projects we plan on making in the future centered around this town.
