Of all the ARGs I've ever seen, this one is actually kinda interesting to me considering the authors are willing to go the lengths of making complete "old" alpha versions of the game just for people to dig around
-
i love how this arg just destroys the common trope of herobrine-esque creepypasta by inserting a spooooooky shadowy figure from the beginning and then swiftly explaining that they're just the devs trolling
-
I love how there is no scary monsters or any actual threat and it's just some devs screwing around and trying to scare players, I actually felt more intrigued than scared.
-
The multiplayer version is the most insane to me because the camera being actively blocked proves, at least in my mind, that there was truly another player on the other end there, probably the ARG runner who had access to the server somehow. Really, really cool.
-
I just realized This is the most elaborate mod showcase ever.
-
I love how much this feels like an actual version of old Minecraft. Old Minecraft has always felt kind of "off" to me, and I've always liked the vibes its given.
-
Several times during this ARG I was wondering if I missed the memo and this was an actual version. That's how realistic it is. That's the sign of a fantastic ARG.

25:49 RGN:"We hear a door open and close several times, although there is no door nearby" Player: opens door
-
This has to be the most high effort Minecraft ARG I have seen in a very long time, if not ever. Huge props to the guy or people who run the ARG and channel.
-
I think this is the most ominous and creepy way to pull off a video game ARG or anything meant to be scary. It isn't just gore on the screen, it's a demo that seems like lost game play that's JUST off. It's truly like entering another universe and it had me on edge the whole time, I love it
-
This feels like a temporal leakage from an alternate universe where RubyDung was more developed before it became Minecraft.
-
Man the mystery I want solved is who the composer for all this is, I’d unironically listen to a fair amount of these tracks. Have some time stamps 20:55 Hidden Den 21:05 Lemuria 21:35 moon2 / fjord 21:51 Norway 22:11 Sadway 28:08 Ballroom Pianist 28:23 Nordic Sanctuary 32:13 R.O.S.T.R.U.M 32:26 Pattern Ponder 32:38 Faux Divinity

The first version where a shadow player was seen was Alpha 1.0.16_02, which is the same version where Herobrine was seen. That could mean the version unintentionally went public and the Herobrine was just another shadow player. I know this is just an ARG and Herobrine was just a creepypasta, but it´s so cool to see these stories overlap and give us somewhat of a backstory to Herobrine
-
I really like how the versions slowly “mutate” in a way, looking less and less like Minecraft as the updates continue
-
I... Actually loved those tracks,they have a weird style that appeals me somehow. Especially the drums in lemuria sounds like someone is hitting some random objects with the stick,and it doesnt keep going in set Intervals,it felt pretty random,kinda creepy but also exciting.
-
I love how this doesn’t really have any jump scares, something args have a hard time staying away from
-
I like that the versions in this series are JUST off enough to feel eerie. They seem normal, but uncanniness is off the charts. It's scary without using horror/arg tropes.
-
these minecraft versions look like something i would see in a dream, like the textures look so weird but familiar and the new features are so random, like the crystals in the air and giant boss battles
-
This ARG stands out to me for one reason and that's "change" when you keep watching these videos the developers make the game unrecognizable meaning that the more features they add the less Minecraft is recognizable like it's slowly changing into something else
