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

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?

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.

Upstaged Communications

7/17/21, 5:35 AM

In 2006, a titan of broadcasting named Upstaged Communications disappeared, with none but the former employees remembering it. 12 years after its demise, a former employee named Penelope received a mysterious package, which contained a remote access key to Marionettes, the central server network of Upstaged. Armed with the access key and a burning desire to know more, Penelope attempts to unearth what killed the company all those years ago, while discovering that she is not the only party interested in the dark past the company had tried to bury.

In 2022, a woman named Emma Harper found a broken television in an abandoned television station. Something inside her compelled her to take it and repair it--in doing so, she soon realized that something forgotten was beginning to wake up. Driven mad with a knowledge she can't explain, she attempts to understand the opaque history of Upstaged Communications, and the truth of the one who wishes to break its legacy.
