The Freddy Clark Anomaly

7/9/22, 7:24 PM

"The Freddy Clark Anomaly" is a multi-media ARG that begins with one TV Pilot ("Freddy Clark's Existential Crisis") and includes two 45-minute short films, a handful of ~5-minute short films, one feature film, another TV Pilot, and one novel, all unlockable through participation.

A college student, Freddy Clark, is back in town for Halloween and sneaks into a Frat party to reconnect with his best friends from high school, but soon finds that everything is a bit weirder than when he left, especially when a drugged-out girl, "The Groundhog," corners him in the bathroom, saying she's lived the day over and over a thousand times and that he's the only hope to save the entire universe.

FTAA Archives

4/29/22, 7:10 PM

A box of video tapes turns up at a local charity book sale. They're castoffs from a local TV station. And they give a look into a timeline very different from our own, where time travel is real, the Federal Temporal Anomaly Authority protects the present, and the future is trying desperately to contact us. Told through a series of televised emergency notifications, this series explores what happens to "history" in a world where time travel is real. FTAA Archives is at its heart a sci-fi story brought to life through found footage and documents.

Night Visions

4/29/22, 1:04 AM

Just your normal everyday spooky youtuber who covers only the scariest of true horror. A totally average channel that hopefully can join the likes of the greatest in his field, with true horror content that is so obscure that no one has heard of these mysteries. In fact no one can find any articles about them. Nobody can also find any of the people he discusses in the channel. That just shows his hard work in finding the obscure!...

Right?...

Wocky Kitaki

2/17/22, 7:02 AM

Matthew is an old man who loves to share his affinity for Seventies music and culture with others. He's new to the Internet and all of its nuances, but that doesn't stop him — Matthew wants nothing more than to make friends with everyone he can find! But despite his friendly demeanor, something is... off about everyone's new favorite Internet grandpa. Maybe it's the strange things he decides to post sometimes, or the way he seems to obsess over other's skin and hair — but really, it's probably nothing to worry about, right?

Frequency 400

12/26/21, 8:18 PM

Strange structures resembling Obelisks have risen, and continue to rise across the globe. A radio station known as "Frequency 400" has begun airing broadcasts to cover the crisis in an attempt to warn citizens across multiple provinces. The Obelisks are highly dangerous for a multitude of reasons, including the weaponized manipulation of people's reflections, parasites spread through summoned pink rain, and perhaps even more that certain scientific groups are yet to uncover.
