All a fabrication. Used to incubate agents of consciousness and paranormal activities. I'm afraid Markus is now going to be the reason that someone will find a paranormal entity in their Minecraft game. And then they will become an author too. It spreads like wildfire when attention is brought to it. Like an infection.
In this fabricated universe, All years between 2010 - 2021 have been eradicated. All participants were given false memories to accommodate the missing years, An example would be JamiePlayz. In fact, All of this was in 2022, They had 2022 tech, 2022 apps, 2022 internet. But they were hard coded not to think they were from 2022 to keep their illusionary lie chamber running.
This is only Mark's end. The big picture has only started.

11/05/2023 @tzshchsjsjxijyo: bro just wanted to start a fun little survival world in alpha and then it ends with some godly being telling him he's not real
11/05/2023 @Punykirby: I know I'm probably not gonna get a reply since you most likely want to stay in character
But this is generally one of the most unique ARGs I have seen in recent years and is the most unique Minecraft one
I will sadly say after the whole Adminspace stuff, it lost some of its horror value for me, and the redesign of the Void Creatures looking more like MC Mobs instead of weird non-minecraft looking tentacle aliens made them less intimidating, but it more than makes up for how special of a story this was, I could have not guessed the twist
I'm glad RetroGamingNow covered this and I can't wait for even more content during Ace 2
11/05/2023 @RealValkor: I did not like how it start getting overcomplicated. Sure, it makes the story less cliche and stuff, but all the horror factor just vanished sadly. I would rather if it was mysterious but also dark and unsettling (like on the first moon clip).
11/05/2023 @Piipperi800: was this supposed to be a horror story? already lost it at the start thinking this was a parody bcuz they were using a very obvious windows 7 vm and also in the first episode they were just running a script to control the game's render distance (or fog distance)
11/05/2023 @desaturatedair: he has gone OOC once where he recited part of hl2 gman's intro speech

06/05/2024 @The_universe_holder.:  @unintelligible-synapse NAH why did you put in a line from half-life?
11/05/2023 @AverageUsernames: I felt like if the story wasnt changed and focus on admin stuff rather focus on void entities IT would be 10000% more interesting and scary XD
11/05/2023 @Boombastichan: Tbh we've already had too many "spooky entities invading my game" ARGs. The twist of the characters in the ARG being sentient and not wanting the story to end is less scary, you are right on that, but it's way more original and unique.
11/05/2023 @blade153:  @Boombastichan It would also get boring the more it happens because you can be sure that most of the time, the player would first walk around and do something random, then something strange would happen and the player gets scared and then some monster appears and the player closes the game after trying to escape from the monster
11/05/2023 @AverageUsernames:  @Boombastichan Is much like farcry 3 when vaas is killed you expecting the story to be over but it doesnt and the story starts to crumble up but it still good.
In all seriousness adminspace could be a separate arg and void thing being two separate args with no collision with both of them, they're both good material for args.
And the part when void entities going into reality could end the series in markus dying and making him go "missing" but if the series doesnt want to end it could be handled well and executed the best way to make sense and consistency in the story.
11/05/2023 @AverageUsernames:  @Boombastichan Still better than generic minecraft enetiyy 303 herbrine crepy syurcye creepypasta
11/05/2023 @whos_nolan: Let me đ¤ out here for a moment
So I think this ending means that Markus is not real, and he is like an AI programmed to think that they are a real person or something. The line "I'll give you a chance to realize you are meat" adds to it, as the Markus AI would like to think it's a real human, from what it was programmed to do. Anyways, interesting ARG, thanks to RetroGamingNow for shining a light on this, and I hope this ARG stays interesting (sorry for the literal essay)
11/05/2023 @wrongteous: But then what about Star's threats of sending "the Agent" to rip out his spine? Or snapping his neck? As well as many others. They clearly speak of Markus having a tangible body in the real world which can be damaged. Perhaps the author transferred his conscience into Star somehow? Could it be that the Star we saw throughout the series was someone just like Markus?
11/05/2023 @whos_nolan:  @wrongteous You make a good point
11/05/2023 @Enceladus-mw3vn: so thats why his replies seemed like it was just a bot
11/05/2023 @luxarion:  @wrongteous Yes, but the author says "You will no longer be a script,"
11/05/2023 @thegameplayertgp6023: If he is an A.I., then how did markus use a windows 7 computer with an actual name and password in an early video?
11/05/2023 @ialwayswatchyoutube812:  @wrongteous Stars threats were hollow since mark thinks he's real even though he really isn't. any memory's he has about the physical world were probably fake
11/05/2023 @wrongteous: Â @ialwayswatchyoutube812Â But then why does Markus have these memories?
11/05/2023 @prizedbenchreloadedandextreme:  @whos_nolan a ai character threatened to kill me on chai. Not out of possibility itâs just 2 aiâs duking it out
11/05/2023 @xenomax9114: this minecraft arg explains every single minecraft arg in existance "There are more like you, Markus." refers to all the other minecraft arg players experiencing anomalies or stories of strange figures on someones minecraft world each with their respective authros and fabricated consiciousness. the cycle continues. they spread. they wreak havoc.
11/05/2023 @tharxis3803: I feel like I know why the triangle head entities are called Integrity. I think it's because they are supposed to be the focal point of the story. A mysterious figure in a beta Minecraft world, just like author said. They were supposed to be of utmost importance to the story, but mark has somehow reached beyond that, beyond the intended story. The admin space might be something of a higher conceptual layer of the story, the general principles of it. He started messing around with the very things that control the world he originates from. And I guess when he killed Star, author stepped in to announce the end to the story, and therefore, the universe. What the author realized is that the story that transpired is not the one he intended, but the one that would inspire ten thousand more. Thus, he tells mark, a new entity, unbound by the shackles of this story, to wreak havoc, get noticed, and become a catalyst for a new author, a new story. Mark is the new Integrity.
11/05/2023 @unintelligible-synapse: A cycle of infinite stories; Inspiration and eventual execution of the team, if not postponed or halted indefinitely.

06/05/2024 @timeisntrealtheuniverseisalie: So many people shit on the more sci fi aspects of this series and Act:2 but like, If you donât like high sci fi in args and like more nostalgic based series than there are like 1000 other series that do exactly that. This series had the courage to be complicated, confusing,kinds meta, and different from other series. If youâre not into that it doesnât make the series bad because it went into that direction. Just cuz you donât like it doesnât make it bad. This series has so many unique and great things about it like the soundtrack, characters with somme depth, and a compelling and complex story. People get so mad that its not the simple and easily digestible series it was in the beginning. If its not your cup of tea than go and watch something else. I love this series because Iâm into sci fi and complicated mysteries. Being complicated and âconfusingâ doesnât make a story bad. I love this series so muchđ¤đ¤đ¤

11/05/2023 @Endermanplaysbrasil: YOOOOO
11/05/2023 @atrupb: at the start the story was very interesting and i liked the spin on the stalky entities being from a different realm, not made of blocks and the moon being infected with something. however, i think this entire adminspace arc made it a bit too... human-like? i have 3 main problems with it:
the characters were minecrafty, which stunted the "stalky unknown entity from different realm" appeal.
the arg went from "incredibly creepy and mysterious" to just "incredibly mysterious", due to all the random puzzles and unknown terminology we had to figure out being thrown at us. the entities, whoever they were, were also acting more human-like towards us (talking, having a conscience and relationship with each other), which ruined the "fear of the unknown" atmosphere.
another issue was markus disasociating further and further from the average minecraft joe we all found so relatable and becoming a sort of void entity himself, it just started ruining my immersion since i couldnt put myself in the main characters shoes anymore.
i still liked the ending with the skybox collapsing, though, mostly due to how original it is and how pretty it looked.
id say start was 9/10, middle was a 6/10 and end was an 8/10.
11/05/2023 @amogaaa: ok, you know about act 2?

11/05/2023 @SDT493: Hey Mark I know you wont respond to any of us but you genuinely created a good ARG. This has been one of the most fun and thrilling ARG's out there right now on youtube. It surpasses the backrooms creepypasta entirely. You have done an amazing job! xoxo
11/05/2023 @anarzian: This story is interesting, it went from Marcus just wanting to play minecraft, from a messed horror story, I have to admit this is more well done than any other minecraft creepypasta, I have seen over the span of 7+ years

11/05/2023 @OmegaTakenZ: The Voice Acting is so cool and scary, it's an amazing ARG. It's obvious that it's all fake but it's so scary and it feels real! I love how he made a whole Story about himself being "inside of minecraft "

11/05/2023 @epic6501: this is a cool arg, but i feel like it got worse after adminspace was introduced
11/05/2023 @telk0_: *please read it will take 2 minutes of your time*
this arg was really good but it would have been better if we had more time in marks OG world. the sky base thing was also cool for a bit until adminspace. so many things were pushed to the side that needed answers for admin stuff. if there was more focus on the void and his world then it would be nice. when people try to argue by saying "well theres already a million of args that are spooky entities entering my game" heres what i have to say. the arg was unique before adminspace. star entering his world and doing stuff on his account was a step in the unique direction. then we see star make a box "base" (not a monolith since its seen as an unnatural in RGNs video when he enters the world). Also knowing the void entities have a commander being star is pretty nice. there is more than one "symbol" character so star has competition. there could have been a lot more with the OG red (the red obsidian and moon, not adminspace). btw he cheats and its made obvious when he gives himself diamonds, now cheating is something you have to have adminspace for? also his friends are just kinda there. the jamie videos feels like a really short spinoff. also mark gets the void keys with ease, they are suppose to be really hard to find as people struggled with it and he finds 2 in a chest and is given 4.
list of plot holes:
what happened to jamie
what happened to the missing friends
what happened to the void entities
what happened to marks world
what happened to the rest of the symbol characters
what happened to the moon (i mean we kinda know)
what is the red obsidian and red moon (we kinda know)
are the rest of the symbol characters in on it
who made admin space
what are the void keys
and more
i swear if i see people saying "oh but thats just in the script so it makes sense"
tldr: arg was good until admin space and way too many plot holes.
*dont get me started on act 2*
11/05/2023 @desaturatedair: joke answer : the red obsidian is glowing obsidian from the old days of bedrock edition that lost its glow and became a buggy mess with age then noclipped further into the past before it was made into the wrong edition of minecraft causing the entire fucking backrooms colliding with minecraft when mined

11/05/2023 @allama.9571: I really liked this ARG. While the creepypasta aspect was lost at the Sky4/adminspace part, that was when it started to feel like a full movie. However, there are some unanswered questions. What happened to Mark's original world?
What was the darkened sun?
What was the reddish obsidian?
What was in the void that the moon picked up?
11/05/2023 @amogaaa: most likely, the "author" said that the universe was deleted, I presume that the same world was deleted
