"soopah weird gaem" ARG/Story Article


JUNE 25, 2015


yo. so one of my cop buddies hit me up. long story short, he pulled this DVD off a corpse at some club raid in chicago (Moonshade or something). he let me keep it lol. didn’t even ask questions.

i haven't touched it yet... O_O

-KZ


ok. i got the DVD into my computer, there's some really messed up stuff in here :/

first was "MESSAGE TO INFIDELS.txt" something about how the world is rotting and false kings or whatevs. really creeps me out. will post more findings.

- KZ


hey all, KZ back here. i'm taking a further look into the DVD itself, and turns out there's a executable file... wonder what's that about? software they use? game they left here on accident? i don't think i have the courage to click it.

- KZ


folks have been asking me who i am. so i will answer: i am kevin zimmerman from chicago! nice to meet you all! :]

i'm really just a boring tech guy who just happens to love games like everyone else. my favorite band is skrillex :D

- KZ


anyway... i think i need some rest. hope there's nobody under my bed tonite... (≖_≖ ) i will check the rest of the DVD tomorrow.

JUNE 26, 2015

morning ppl. had a dream. like... i was in gray place, grass + flowers everywhere but it felt dead, y'know? it’s still stuck in my head so imma just dump it here.

so basically, i wake up in this washed-out place. grass everywhere but it’s gray. flowers are red but not like “pretty red,” more like… blood red. no sky, just this blank white void hanging over everything.

way off in the distance there’s this creepy tree - gray trunk, red leaves, looked like something out of a bad creepypasta game. i thought about spawning a gun like in that south park ep (lol wishful thinking) but nope. hands empty. gg me :|

so i start walking toward it. whole thing felt like one of those $9.99 walking sims you find buried on steam sales. then outta nowhere i hear static + these broken number station voices. couldn’t make it out but it gave me chills. “soopah weird” as @JayRhoads would say xD

then i see… something? like a figure hanging around the tree. looked kinda like a furry in black + white fur, with a hat. face like a mime. maybe wolf, maybe cat, couldn’t tell.

before i even process it, this random guy just walks right up, stares me in the eyes, and says: “history is a bullet wound that doesn’t heal.”

and then boom. shot me point blank in the head. dream over. woke up sweating like a scrub. wtf brain O_o

ok guys… back to the DVD stuff. pls don’t take the dumb comment i made earlier to @Socorsky seriously xD i was just messing around. so anyway i clicked the executable file titled "cenotaph" *rolls eyes* and... take a look at this xD

yea… not sure i’m gonna keep playing the “game” thing lol. what if there’s like… super illegal stuff hidden in there? i mean, i download dumb stuff off Pirate Bay all the time, probs illegal too… but still… :/

upload soon?

- KZ


ok… i caved and opened the game again. curiosity is literally murdering me >:[

so after that creepy little girl who… doesn’t even attack me?? wtf lol, i got two paths in front of me. left path has some... thing standing in a corner. suuuper sketchy, not touching that one :(

right path tho… there’s a door. locked. and now i’m sitting here thinking… did a terrorist org really sit down and make a horror game just to… do propaganda?? what the hell is inside that door?? i need to find a key... obviously...

- KZ


wow… okay. so i was mid-trying to figure out these .npc files when my inbox pings. thought it was just a normal shipping update for a… uh… friend lol.

but no. opened it and it’s some video footage. masked dudes, uniforms look kinda military, shooting American soldiers… and then they start rambling about how we’re all led by false leaders, how the system is corrupt, “wake up sheeple” type stuff. :/

don't even know how the hell they got my MAIN email... O_O

-KZ


ok guys… i think i’ll just upload the damn game. been stuck on this one door forever and nothing i try works. pretty sure it’s broken or maybe i’m just missing something obvious lol. either way, i’m done banging my head against it :/

- KZ


hey guys. it's been a while since i've touched this forum. i keep getting emails and PMs about one of my friends so i guess i'll come out. -_-

Pale9, known as KZ around here - was known for like... archiving the worst and horrible stuff possible. just a few years ago, we got "VENTING" - some game from the 2000s where you kill people for wallpapers of crime scenes with the victim that looks similarly to the character you just killed in-game while Für Elise plays in the background. screwed up stuff. lol.

anyway, about KZ, the dude just sent me a mega link to a zip file containing some... game? i'm not sure what it exactly could be, but by the file structure, it looks like some ancient game. lord knows how it plays out. guess i'll be the one to upload it... or something...

I tried to contact KZ. Nothing. No replies on Steam. Not picking up his phone. I even tried his Skype! Where the hell has he gone to?

Tried the game that KZ sent me... It's... strange? Could you folks check it out in a bit? Trying to upload it... Maybe you can find something I couldn't.

Finally uploading the damn game... To debunk the rumors that this game contains some of the horrible things, it doesn't. Just some spooky pictures. The text made me want to vomit, though.

Almost close to release! Just gotta make some basic thumbnails and stuff like that... Don't want my release to look dumb. Shame nobody has the version posted on /x/. What's inside?

Next up

All updated versions of the game are out now! I am 100% sure everything is fine, so that's it for now. Continuing the ARG if "The Truth" doesn't get solved anyway.

who the hell buying a pen for 999 euro

GUYS I WAS JOKING I KNOW EVERYONE IS STILL WAKING UP

[ARTICLE FOR TUTORIAL FOR LATER. READ. IMPORTANT.]

first post. hi.

The only solution I have found out for the shaders not working is to bundle Terror Engine with the game. This also means that you can edit the story (level) itself, if you want.

welp guys... it's official

LOST VENDETTA IS BACK TELL @BruhYaBoi AND WHOEVER WAS THERE FOR LOST VENDETTA BACK IN LIKE 2024 OR SOMETHING

A version including Level 2 for standalone should be out now! The other one is still processing, so if you wanna solve the thing quick and don't care about the spooky effects, go for it.

SWIPE FOR THE MODEL!
