The Sarcastic Pasta source code has this message in it:

[Polybius is an urban legend that emerged in early 2000, concerning a fictitious 1980s arcade game. It has served as inspiration for several free and commercial games by the same name.

The legend describes the game as part of a government-run crowdsourced psychology experiment based in Portland, Oregon, during 1981. Gameplay supposedly produced intense psychoactive and addictive effects in the player. These few publicly staged arcade machines were said to have been visited periodically by men in black for the purpose of data-mining the machines and analyzing these effects. Eventually, all of these Polybius arcade machines allegedly disappeared from the arcade market.]

And then on Billy’s Source code, there’s this:

That is the name of the company that supposedly created those Machines.

So after the video promo released on the Sarcastic Pasta blog, A certain someone appeared in the discord VC to give us a little message.

It was hard to hear, but Friendly Phandom on discord managed to catch what was said, which was (to the best of our knowledge) "You're all weak, my puppets"

Yesterday Amazingmbg did a routine check of the Sarcastic Pasta Blog source code and found the last message left by Bracket’s chand changed.

Brackets mentions “he’s everywhere”, which we connect to the recent icon changes (which we are on multiple Sarcastic Pasta social media platforms. Said icons employ a near-black icon that has the faintest outline of Anti)

Regular Icon:

Edited Copy (brightened for outline):

Roughly twenty minutes pass and the source code changes once more to this link, leading to a downloadable game file:

(Link provided Here if you would like to play and a link to a video of someone else playing it is here if you would just like to see what happens without playing)

Through this mini-game, it is revealed Brackets is actually Monika, and the Doki Doki girls are being targeted by Anti, though Monika is confused as to how he is attacking and disposing of the girls.

Transcript:

(For the sake of our sanity here on the archives, we will keep the past ARG entries.

here’s to the new beginning!

The code in Katie’s blog was multi-layered. First layer was ASCII85, then Base 64, and then Binary. The translation is as follows:

Line 6, as indicated from one of Katie’s name changes is:

''I want to tell him what's going on, but I think he's listening.''

We believe Brackets is referring to Mack, but they can’t tell him due to A.

So previously, the messages in Billy’s blog source code was concerning to us and new information has shown it was not, in fact, billy.

Last night, in light of the message sent in the source code, I decided to make a post telling the sender we saw the message. When i woke up this morning, this was waiting for us:

I took to searching everywhere i could, but there was nothing.vafter a while, Katie’s discord name changed to this:

That change prompts us to look at the Ask billy blog, giving us this message:

Upon this, we went to Katie’s personal blog and checked the source code (and boy howdy was there a fuckton of code there)

Name change:

Translation (from ASII85): Line 6

Name change again:

Translation (from ASII85): DID YOU FIND IT

What we were finding was THIS CLUSTERFUCK HIDDEN IN THE SOURCE CODE OF HER BLOG:

(After Anti left. Note: Half of the screenshots were taken after the fact, hence the color changes before nessesary)

Upon asking if Henrik has Mack:

(Important Note: Mack is still Yellow in these conversations. i just screenshotted them at a later time.)

So the zalgoed messaged from “Mack” clears doesn’t sit well with us:

Upon urging Mack and Henrik to get to Safety:

Yep, the glitch bitch came back with a bit of a vengeance, so here’s how it all played out:

(Important Note: some screenshots were taken after the event, so name colors might not match and will be pointed out thusly.)

So it starts off with Henrik come in to talk to us. He climbed a mountain to save a pizza man to get his pizza and was very triumphant about it. A little while later Mack comes back looking blue-ish grey, meaning he’s tired and sad.

He immediately starts apologizing for his previous behavior and says how sorry he is (we take time to reassure him that he’s okay and we don’t hate him)

After much talk and convincing, we finally get Mack to agree to stay with Henrik so he can get some proper sleep….. and that’s when SHIT HITS THE FAN:

As expected, we did not take too kindly to that:

At this point in the conversation, Mack turns yellow:

AND THEN THIS SHIT HAPPENS:

So today Mack came on discord talk to us and ask about why we were worried about Billy.

We talked about the message left in the source code of his blog that talked about a missing woman, but told him that Billy insisted it was not his message. Upon further chatter, this sequence of events took place:

The Message (left in the source code of the SPG blog, screenshotted and shared by me):

(Note: Orange is a brand new color. we believe it is either suspicion or unease)

At this point, Mack turns yellow (Fear):

AND THEN WE GET A HEART ATTACK:

Anti’s messages in the SPG source code have been cleared away, and there’s two messages from Mack now.

Message #1:

Message #2:
