About this game

DESCRIPTION PENDING

broad strokes

• set in 2012 - get ready for flip phones, blackberries, the chonkiest of smartphones, 1 GB/month data plans, 140 character limits on your SMS texts, potentially NO data and limited minutes, and grainy af phone cameras
• lots of memes about the world ending in 2012 because of the mayan calendar!
• you're aspiring YouTubers, and your goal as a team is to see if you can investigate and find any truth to creepypastas you've found online that reference specific places in the city, to see if you can use it to maybe build your own ARG or ghosthunting show. This is the golden age of creepypastas, and some of them seem to hit quite close to home. YouTube is a growing platform and there are all sorts of weird and different things popping up on it - why not have a creepypasta detective show? OR a new ARG, look at how popular Marble Hornets is!

The content warnings are NOT indicative of the game per se, but this is a horror game! Safety checklists are an ABSOLUTE MUST for this game, I will adjust as needed to accommodate players, but please be aware that bad things will very likely happen. Stay safe.
