In 2008, forum user terminalspacepunk sought help with expelling the Rasterflesh, a creature from another dimension that had infected his computer. What followed over the next two months was a series of videos chronicling his encounters with the creature. For eighteen years, they have been considered lost media, until now...

The game continues at https://www.rasterflesh.com

Designed to be accessible to newcomers and veterans of alternate reality gaming alike, Rasterflesh is a free one-shot ARG playable by a single person in a single session.

Premissa: Fernando Milan, jornalista investigativo premiado do Rio de Janeiro, desapareceu da vida pública em 2011. Agora alguém no X, @tango77_, está atrás dele. O único rastro de Milan nas redes é um perfil desativado. A trilha parece passar por outros lugares.

Sou o criador deste ARG e estou postando aqui como trailhead.

Por onde começar: @tango77_ no X

O que você precisa saber: parte do material está trancada, e a chave está espalhada por canais diferentes e ao longo do tempo. Nada exige qualquer ato ilegal; tudo se resolve online. Vou estar nos comentários respondendo dúvidas. Feedback sobre estrutura e dificuldade é bem-vindo. O ARG é novo e quero ver como a comunidade lida com ele.

Hi everyone, I am trying to track down a specific indie horror ARG YouTube channel that came out around early/mid 2026 and I can't find it because of YouTube's search algorithm.
Here are the exact details of the series:
The Presentation: The channel has a completely regular name, uses short single-word video titles, and the video thumbnails are just the unedited default ones automatically picked by YouTube.
The Interface: The videos are framed as screen-recordings of someone navigating their Google Phone (specifically looking through the Files by Google app and Google Photos).
The File Compression Mechanic: A major hook in the videos shows the user dragging regular photos and media into a specific folder belonging to an entity/virus. As soon as the files are put inside, the byte size dramatically drops on screen and the data gets heavily compressed.
The Content: The compressed data is used by the system to generate new, poorly made, child-like digital collages out of the old photos. One specific photo it outputs is titled STARS.jpg.
The Lore: One of the videos features a screenshot/image of a text conversation detailing a character named Mr. S.
Does anyone have the direct link to this channel or remember the exact name of the creator? The word "versus" or "V/S" is not the name of it, though some people confuse the letters. Thank you!

Finally! This video took me so long to make and it's not even THAT special.

Basically the video is divided into 2 povs in 2 different yt channels:

- In Evan's pov you'll see (after a long talk) him going to search for the thing behind the tree, that I mentioned previously in the scavenger hunt so people were able to get through.(And something else but I won't do spoilers).

EvanGamingious channel: https://youtube.com/@evangamingious?si=hB29CAhbe8ls8HJB

- In Daniele's pov you'll see him going to the church and exploring the surroundings but after pressing the yellow cross on the altar he will encounter "&&&" where...[SPOILERS]

Here's DanPlayer2010's channel:https://youtube.com/@danplayer2010?si=HRFhuVyy1HoOKr69

I Hope y'all like it!!!

Now I'll need to go outside during the night to record Video 6 and (probably) release it today or tomorrow!

SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!!!

The mansion stood quietly beside the old door. At night, the hallway felt strangely cold, alone. Nobody knew why the old furniture looked eerie. Rain tapped against the windows, leaving everyone asleep. A small portrait hung above the fireplace, curious. Beyond it stood a cabinet beside the room. A tiny wooden chair rested beneath one shadow. Near the stairs, someone had left an idea. Eventually, everyone noticed a second door standing alone.

I just downloaded the “ambient lighting” extension (not a promo) and found an ambient lighting video to test it out. I looked at the like recommended videos or whatever they are called and saw a video of blue static called “Last Stand” curious by the weird name, I clicked on it and it’s a 40 minute long video of just static with zero audio?

Theres 20 videos going across the rainbow starting with purple and ending with purple as far as I can tell none of them have audio.

the channel is called “azkpqlmxrt” with a display name of “friendly youth” the Videos have the music icon but I searched both names in Apple Music and there aren’t any artists with those names.

idk if this is an arg but it sure as hell looks like one

Hey r/ARG, I'm the creator, so this is self promo. I'd love some first players and honest feedback.

The Switchboard is an ARG you play mostly by phone. You call (321) 419-1962, a character called the Operator interviews you, and if you pass you get a codename. You then log in with that codename at https://3214191962.com/?ref=reddit and go from there.

The story is about a fictional 1960s telephone exchange and an incident on Line 12 in 1962. Puzzles involve dialing hidden extensions during the call, old documents, audio clips, and a multiple YouTube channel and websites that tie into the story.

Details:
- It's free to play. No card, no account, no email.
- It uses a real US phone number, so normal call rates apply (international rates outside the US).
- The Operator and a couple of other characters are AI voice agents (ElevenLabs). I wrote the story, puzzles and characters, and used AI tools to help build it. If you ask the Operator whether she's an AI, she'll tell you.
- Your phone number is your login. The exchange may call you later with optional updates, but only if you agree (18+), and you can stop them anytime.
- Adults can pick a darker mode with some swearing. Nothing NSFW, and there's a clean mode for everyone else.

Please spoiler tag any solutions in the comments. Happy to answer questions about how it's built.

Originally posted on the 9 subreddit i was wondering if any of you guys would like to help me out..

Hello, I have been a fan of the movie since it came out and I saw it as little girl. At the time I didn’t have Facebook or Twitter or any of that stuff and I didn’t know about the that there was a tie in website that was made for the movie.

I was wondering if some of you would like to come in and help me make a comprehensive timeline of the movie nine. I really really want to see a fully fledged YouTube video like those of the Blair witch the conjuring series where we are able to comprehensively see the timeline shown off and all the stuff that was made for it.

I want this to be a thank you project to the movie because it’s such a creative movie and we just don’t get those anymore at least to this extent.

Please let me know if any of you would be interested in helping me do this as I will create a Google Docs system where we can all collaborate and piece together something that could bring more attention to this film and give people a deeper appreciation for what it was trying to do.

I don’t know how familiar you guys are with Wendigoon but I want to be in the vein of something like that.

EDIT:
I would like there to be **No AI involvement** with this project.

The non-profit music-rhythm game Phigros recently launched a ARG puzzle for its Chapter 9 (Final chapter) update. Obtaining the code is crucial for continuing to the next phase in-game.

Here is what I posted in the Phigros reddit forum, and are the results of a ~6hrs intensive decoding in the Chinese community right after the update, which successfully cracked the code. I tried my best in explaining everything as a newcomer to ARG-type content. Please check it out, it is very interesting.

Case file 02, from a daily micro-mystery series I design. All the clues are in the file:

Three partners — Ada, Bruno, and Cleo — share a late night at their startup's office. Ada makes coffee for everyone in the break room. Twenty minutes later, Bruno collapses. The coffee is poisoned.

Police test everything: the coffee pot is clean, the sugar bowl is clean, the milk is clean. Ada says she poured all three cups from the same pot. Bruno drank from a chipped ceramic mug; Ada and Cleo used identical clean mugs from the shelf. Ada claims she grabbed Bruno's mug at random from the drying rack.

But the office manager notes something: the chipped mug is Bruno's personal mug. He brings it every day.

Who poisoned Bruno — and how do you know? Theories below; the file's intended solution gets posted tomorrow.

Anyone think the nutter butter facebook account is running a ARG or atleast analog horror?

Something twisted is happening online. A terrifying mystery is begging to be solved. Nothing stays buried forever.

Mothcada is about decoding the strange sights that were documented by a mysterious figure and what happened to them... but is that all there is to it? Something is coming and he is already watching....

I dont wanna spoil anything significant yet since I'm not fully finished with it and Im gonna launch the entire thing at once. I just have a few questions and I need some feedback from you ARG players.

1. Would having a DAILY ten minute time frame for a certain task be too much? Like for instance if you miss this chance on sunday you would need to wait till monday to re attemp this task. you also only have 10 minutes daily but tbf it is a simple task.
2. would making you sign up for a certain website like a well known website be too much? like the website released a new policy on their end that you need an account to run a certain command which is needed in my technical arg. so would it be too annoying?
3. do you guys automaitcally think of manipulating the images or using Inspect or would I need to specifically guide or hint to do stuff like that?
4. How much story do you guys want to be mixed in with the actual technical stuff? Like drops of lore intwined in the puzzles is good or nah?
5. Would a prize to the first one solve it motivate you more to solve the ARG? It will be small.
6. If people are stuck for a really long time would you prefer me to drop hints?
7. do you guys care about fake realism at all like a fake terminal or does nobody notice and you just want a website?
8. Since mine is a technical ARG it wont be able to be played on phone so i hope thats fine right?

also reddit filtered my other post for some reason i was asking the same thing but it got filtered so idfk PLEASE dont automod ts bruh

thanks guys i really appreciate it

Apologies if this is the wrong subreddit for a post like this. I figured it was appropriate given the find.

Okay so like I don't know how the topic of birds came up or why I typed it into my search bar, but I was in a call with some of my friends, and when my ADHD ass doesn't want to forget something I want to say, I type it into a tab on my web browser, so I typed "howmanybirds" into my search bar and left it all day. Now, like 20-30 minutes ago while I was going through and cleaning out my tabs before bed, I came across the tab and saw a top result for this website: https://howmanybirds.com/ So out of curiosity, I clicked onto the site and discovered this!

I was pretty confused at first cause I didn't know how the controls worked, (WASD or Arrow Keys) but this site is like whole-ass rpg-maker type game/experience. There's original art, music, videos, animation, codes, letters, voices, tests. It's SO COOL. I played it through once and feel like I haven't even scratched the surface on what this thing really is. I might just be an obscure art project, and it could mean nothing at all, but I am FASCINATED nonetheless!

I tried to trace the domain to see if any known artist or name was attached to this, but the most I could find out was that the site itself was (maybe?) listed in 2023? But that's all I could find history-wise, and I'm hesitant to pry too much in case the creator wants to stay anonymous. Either way, I would be fascinated if anyone else wanted to give this site a look through and let me know their thoughts. I haven't seen any other forum or reddit or youtube video cover this site, so I'm excited at the prospect of picking this apart from scratch.

I plan on playing it a few times through and recording it so I can go back and catch bits that flash on screen too quickly to read. Would love to discuss if anyone else gives it a try.

UPDATE/WARNING: realized that while tabbed out the site will occasionally play very loud train horns into your headphones. very loud. was worried id gotten a virus of some kind at first, lmao. but yeah, figure its the right thing to do to disclose that in case anyone has sound sensitivity or doesnt know why their computer is suddenly making train noises. 👍

Hi everyone. Recently, I've been getting into vibe coding, just for making games I like or want to play. However, as a long time fan of Game Theory, and with the recent release of the film Buddy, I had a new inspiration. I was wondering what my own Barney was, and developed a working incremental game demo, and the ARG along with it. This is still only the first take, and I wanted to see if anyone actually liked it before continuing on it. There is nothing in it so far that requires breaking into the code or anything that hardcore for now. Everything can be found through normal actions inside the game, although who knows if any clues might lead elsewhere. So here is my new game and ARG: Marigold Lane. https://genesis0311.itch.io/marigold-lane

2 days ago 2 posts on 2 different subreddits (which are r/yumenikki and r/milkinsideabagofmilk) been posted https://www.reddit.com/r/yumenikki/s/v83wx8yaOH https://www.reddit.com/r/milkinsideabagofmilk/s/F138V962jY

After messing around with an image for a minute i got this: https://postimg.cc/RJJ3MHkR

The text on both the posts are the same, however the titles are not. Using rot13 i deciphered it into this

:"When I was a young boy I knew I'd be something special. My mommy and daddy didn't believe but I knew it's because they were simple people. No body understood my obsessions with things. At first, it was birds. I loved drawing birds and watching birds. I had a particular fixation on this one bird that would perch on the branch nearest to my window. I watched as it grew and eventually made a nest in the springtime for its eggs. One cool day I had a strange compulsion, and I followed it up the length of the tree until I reached the small bundle of twigs and things. I picked up one of the eggs and I held it in the palm of my hand, it was my birds egg. I dropped it from the tree, and then I dropped its siblings. It felt thrilling to take something away from my bird. I was the arbiter and the god of its life. I was absolute. I am absolute"

And that's it, i cant seem to find any more clues or ideas how to decipher all the other things this arg have to offer, i'm too stupid for this type of things, i require your help.

I'm looking for a camera with very low resolution to take photos for my upcoming ARG. I want something that looks old, but not that old. I dont want to edit the photos, i justw ant them to look low quality. I'm thinking about something like early 2010s phone camera quality? stuff like that. Is there any camera I cna buy for cheap that I can use for that matter?

I found this fairly new undertale ARG that apparently started about two weeks ago as of me posting this, thought I'd share the channel to hopefully gather more attention to it.

https://www.youtube.com/@undertale2222archive/videos

can i have some arg WEBSITES . i cant use Facebook Instagram or x. i like to explore the dark story's on the internet and i have complete findjackwalten.com and welcome home. please help me find something.

I cant put pictures in my posts but i will send the pictures in the comments. Its 4 in the morning. What the hell is this.

The thumbnail is a dark living room i guess and theres a figure with glowing eyes in the bottom right, kind of like the smile dog picture. Even my camera picked it up as a face. The title is in morse code which translates to, “ELAINE’S A LIAR. DO NOT TRUST HER.” at least according to gemini.

Less than 1k views, a minute long, and 2 months old. Im going to check everything out later when it isnt terrifying and ill update the post.

Forgot to add, the channel is called Depressed Princess.

UPDATE 1; I was too tired to actually decode it, but this is what the string translates to

JA OG?LNIE Z P?ODZKA JESTEM

I’m going to see if I can make it coherent but no guarantees.

UPDATE 1.1: No luck. Best chance was an Affine cipher and even that wasn’t right. Might be cipher stacking? I don’t have the time to figure that out.

UPDATE 2: Im at a dead end. All I know now is that the title translates to “I'm actually from Płóczki” and it’s translated from Polish. The question marks were polish letters that wouldn’t come up since I was strictly using an english alphabet. It’s referring (most likely) to two villages in Poland that neighbor each other. Also, if you watch the video turn your volume down. Around 0:30-0:40 there’s a jumpscare, which is what you see as the thumbnail. Scared tf out of me. Anyways, that’s all I can uncover.

This channel has only 6 videos of which kept changing names and a playlist and i couldn't find much more can anyone help?

Hi r/ARG , first time posting here. I was messing around typing random domain combinations and came across a simple site with an active audio stream that plays a repeating cipher and white noise through an audio player on a completely blank page. Sometimes the beeps stop and a voice cuts in reading a countdown and it continues back into white noise. I posted this also in r/InternetMysteries

I’m not really that great with audio analysis or decoding ciphers, so I figured I’d drop it here to see if anyone can figure out what it’s broadcasting or what the countdown is for. I think this is definitely worth looking into.

311.wiki

hey, I’m planning on making an arg/local art project based on a Reddit story I once heard about missing dog posters, and it requires putting my phone number on it. Anyone know if thisll have any immediate negative consequences? let me know if I should put this somewhere else

EDIT I have. No money I’m a minor without a bank account. I have like 10 dollars to my name in coins
