So, I've been following a small little indie ARG/webseries(?) called Project Earth/Terranova Industries and I just! Really want to share it!
It's pretty new - there are three videos and one short on the youtube channel, and three comics on the website (though one is currently hidden and takes some finding to locate.)
The idea of it is that this company has discovered how to view (or access?) multiverses, and instead of using it in any beneficial way... they've used it to make a reality tv show essentially, documenting a man's alternate lives.
Gregg Sellars is our pleasantly boring and regular protagonist, eager to see what he could have been had he made different choices in his life. It's less out of regret than more out of fun! He seems perfectly happy with his marriage and his kid and his job, and just thinks its neat to see the potentials he unknowingly had.
Tom Wilson is his best friend who has shown up in two of the three videos so far, as each alternate universe features him too. He absolutely would divorce his wife to marry an alien in a heartbeat. That's the sort of man he is.
Also, yes, some hidden text in captions (only during silence moments as otherwise the captions are entirely in line with the dialogue, so accessibility isn't trashed in pursuit of hiding codes and clues).
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like TerrANova's experiments with timelines are entirely contained. So far we've gotten at least two references that wildlife in the area the company is located in has been going missing.
And a man named Jerry seems to be trying to contact us and possibly reveal the truth behind the company?
Regarding the comics on the website, they seem to be created by Berry (who may be one of the aforementioned individuals held captive within the company), who is forced to create a whole ass comic every 24 hours or face an unknown punishment.
However, as he continues writing, the characters in his comic become self aware of their fictional nature, and begin rebelling against his control.
Since we're still so early in, we're not sure where the story is going yet entirely, but I'm really into it and not many people know about it. So!! I decided I wanted to share it with this very long image filled post I'm so sorry.
If you're interested, please check out the TerrANova website, which is the main hub for the arg/webseries. It has links to the discord, to the youtube channel, the twitter, so on. It even has a phone number that you can call that people in the discord says works (i haven't called because i don't use phones checkmate technology), though we're not sure yet if there's anything we're supposed to be doing with it. Maybe???
ok that's enough thank you for tolerating my niche interests goodbye
