12/06/2023 @The_Tamar: wouldnt it be silly if this wasnt an arg and this guy is actually being haunted
02/06/2024 @Godzillagamer1577: its an arg?
02/06/2024 @The_Tamar: @Godzillagamer1577 I mean I guess, idk what else you'd call it
03/06/2024 @z3rocool: @The_Tamar just a internet horror serries, theres no game so its not an arg
03/06/2024 @The_Tamar: @z3rocool im not correcting myself out of spite
03/06/2024 @topfix_: if anyone ever did post about being haunted this is exactly what would happen
04/06/2024 @creatorglitch: @z3rocool arg series exist, and one thing for certain: you can interact with args. like here, the creator will respond in character to ur comments. a normal series will not do that

12/06/2023 @firecode1252: @randomamerican524 it's a Sisyphus reference...
12/06/2023 @clericalheretic: Alright, here's some surface observations as I'm watching through this:
1. nearly every every exit of the well has a "reset" of andrew's emotions, and almost every instance has him at the same tone as when the series first started.
2. blue roses symbolize secrecy, a recurrent theme of the series
3. the video calls attention to it, but both the mic quality and vocal tone have a drastic shift at 7:00 . its almost like a huge span of time happened in-between takes, and its gotta be significant somehow
4. 7:33 the lava has vanished. lighting has always played a role in the proximity of the shadow
Theory:
Andrew is not Andrew.
12/06/2023 @mogwaibalenciaga: a blue rose is also impossible in nature, they represent the supernatural
12/06/2023 @ponfi0275: @@officiallytrustissues5411He's the third Andrew perhaps?
01/06/2024 @Raivuu_00: I just realized it.
Since andrew started exploring these worlds trough the wells way back from episode 6 of his minecraft series, i noticed the weather always begun with rain when andrew joined the world for the first time (excluding the land of towers).
02/06/2024 @smileyyface_: to add to the theory, you could say the subjects are maybe all andrew, but different hims, if that makes sense. maybe this has been going on in a cycle, but andrew doesn't realize it until it's too late. where are the other hims tho? no clue, maybe they're all kept somewhere when useless to whatever being is causing all this
maybe this whole thing is about grief and/or nostalgia: "the closer you get, the further you stray", maybe it means that if he keeps looking for chris, the more lost andrew (metaphorically and literally) and he should move on to get better
02/06/2024 @Masked_Messenger777: observation 1: ( 15:49 ) "Andrew" also doesn't seem to remember how he got to the world he is in. at least not the correct way. "Andrew" seems to think he just came there to explore his old world.
observation 2: ( 17:00 ) maybe this suggests that the Andrew isn't fake, just a different Andrew. maybe they are from different time lines resulted from the experiment. the first series he started was the first Andrew. When he came back (with his memory lost) to start a lets play survival documentary, that is the second Andrew. Now we have the third Andrew, hence the voice change and the sign seen in ( 17:00 )
** I'm editing this as I watch the video, so theories stated earlier might not be relevant, but I will keep them there so my thought process is visible, onto observation 3... **
observation 3: ( 19:48 ) the sign in this clip, states that the 'first' is not a kind one. Though Andrew was kind in the first few videos, eliminating the possibility of observation 2 being true. i Believe the voice change could have been Chris (or the entity) rather than a different Andrew. The first Chris was really scary and mysterious (for lack of better words) and didn't hint who he was or what he was doing, could have been the "first" Chris (or "first" entity). Then there was a second Chris (entity) who gave more hints who he was and seemed to want Andrew to remember, until he got found again in a later episode, in which was called "Exploring my Old Minecraft Realm".
!i continued my theories in another comment.!
02/06/2024 @DoneDoStuff: @Masked_Messenger777 I know you said that you are keeping up the previous observations for context, but, just in case, in your first observation, I believe he is talking about his skin, as the context of the conversation is him talking about the amount of skins that he and Chris would go through as he says "we went through so many skins, I just came back to this one cause it was nostalgic" after the cut.
For your 3rd observation though, what if the "first" is not Chris, and that the "second" is not just a different version of Chris. Instead, lets say that Chris is the "second" (and possibly the figure we have been seeing) and the "first" is a different being that we have not seen directly, but could be very influential throughout the entire story (or is the dark figure we have been seeing instead of Chris). It is also possible that since the "second" said that there is a "first" and that Andrew will be the "third", that the dark figures are what they turn into, and that Andrew is on the path to becoming a dark figure (almost as if to signify death or being trapped within the confines of the game, as Andrew states that Chris has been offline for over a year), or more specifically, the "third" dark figure.
If any of my rambling didn't make sense I can clarify it if anyone asks.
03/06/2024 @Masked_Messenger777: @DoneDoStuff yea I agree with this. After seeing the next episode, I believe the entity is the first, Chris is the second, and Andrew is the third. By second or third they could be referring to victims. Though when you bring that concept up you have to assume the first is also a victim. So maybe they are the first experiment? Or maybe the entity is the creator of the experiment and first tested it on himself. That’s why he brings others there. To not be alone forever? And for the first observation I figured that out lol.
I’ll put the rest of my observations here
03/06/2024 @Masked_Messenger777: observation 4: ( 20:21 ) -the sign shown here could be referring to Andrew, or Chris. A reason it would be Chris is because, as stated in the journals, he found something that could be revolutionary, but it would not work after leaving and rejoining. So after many attempts in that same world, he made a new one, Attempting to do the same thing as he tried to do in the other world. We don't get to know if Chris completed it or succeeded in his task. That sign could be talking to Chris saying "You keep trying to make this, but it will destroy you and loved ones in the end, you can stop now, but you won't" (metaphorically) suggesting that the entity and Chris could be two different people.-

03/06/2024 @foolsenigma: @Masked_Messenger777 im guessing that the first might be herobrine? Meaning that the victims become ghosts that haunt minecraft as a whole?
03/06/2024 @Masked_Messenger777: @foolsenigma possibly, but i dont think herobrine is a part of this kinda thing. It's another main villain of some sort.

11/06/2023 @anort1969: if theres one thing i have to give this series endless praise for, its the music. its absolutely gorgeous and replicates the minecraft style of music and the nostalgic feeling it brought, and it sells the series so much for me. it makes me want to cry every time it kicks in
12/06/2023 @Kappybara-m2e: @geekzombie8795 i don't get this... what is this? arg? is this real? huh? please explain that to me....
12/06/2023 @genderedgirl: @Kappybara-m2e ARG's are alternate reality games. They can be about almost anything if the right people are telling the story. This one for example is about a kid exploring his old minecraft world he played on with his friend, but something is off basically. You'd have to watch all of the videos to understand.
12/06/2023 @Kappybara-m2e: @genderedgirl That makes sens, Thanks!
11/06/2023 @frippo421: Ive been wondering if this arg is actually a metaphor for the nostalgia that we as a collective fan base for minecraft feel for the "old days" (old xbox/ps editions, friends who we used to play with who are no longer active, etc). the only thing that makes me think this is the sign in this world saying "the closer you get the farther you stray" which could mean the nostalgia and viewing/searching for the past which this series is based on is actually making us stray farther from the reality that those times are gone. i dont think theres any actual evidence for this but it just got me thinking.
12/06/2023 @Sir_Noel: i really like this interpretation, and something interesting to note in this video that andrew specifically mentions that he feels like this world is a "memory" as it doesn't feel like its changing. and he's right, memories will always stay the same, forever unchanged. theres an importance in realizing that you cant go back to the past, and that there is harm in straying too far away from reality and getting sucked into all the nostalgia, all the memories. the past will always just be the past... something thats already happened.
03/06/2024 @MyNameFishy_Channel: I really love this interpretation, and I think the world being on new version with old textures really supports it
03/06/2024 @MyNameFishy_Channel: Like the game grew up but we didnt
12/06/2023 @joebradburnii: That feeling we have as humans to get to the bottom of things? Keep going? That desperate need of “because you can, you have to?”
That’s what makes us human, friend.
Stay Determined. ❤
02/06/2024 @exticcheddar9480: Ah yes I wonder what this was inspired by lol your not wrong though.
11/06/2023 @salthal: hey what if the reason why Andrew can't talk in the tower world is because he is underwater? he is swimming to the bottom of a well after all
11/06/2023 @tartarusempress1583: I was gonna say that!
12/06/2023 @mothxine: That sounds very accurate, especially with the description of the towers video. I wonder how this all works.
12/06/2023 @Pokemonmovemaster: Maybe not underwater, but entering his subconscious? The common thread connecting all the worlds he's visited is that they existed before the present and area ones he has memories involving Chris. The tower/well world could be sort of a 'stage select' secret area like some of the older Mario games had. He doesn't speak in these sections because the subconscious has no control over his motor skills. He gasps because it's his conciousness returning to his body, kind of like how in movies when someone wakes up from a dream they commonly indicate so with a gasp.
12/06/2023 @AustinS-x8l: I saw someone said that Chris never used contractions. I think it's interesting the ones about him being too far gone are contracted, but the ones about the "first" being unkind are not.
12/06/2023 @ferocitychess4189: good theory
11/06/2023 @alternativeaccountmercury: as someone who grew up on 360 edition, holy shit nostalgia hit me like a train
riding a cruiser ship on a jet plane flying at mach 5

11/06/2023 @Amalga_Heart: Ya know, there's a couple of things I thought of while watching this one. First of all the "you are the third" part. It occurs to me, the shadow character who has been appearing constantly over the course of the series is actually NOT the only other character we've seen. That guy is completely blank, no face. We got a good look at him in the cavern video. But in one of the earliest videos... #4, I think? There's a scene at the end where you get a quick yet close view of a different character, using a skin that just has this weird smiling face. We only see that once, but it was there. Granted, maybe that one is the same one and just changed skins to that shadow appearance. Certainly possible. But still, it stood out.
Also, there's one thing that hasnt been talked about here in the last couple of videos since the realization, which is the extra videos that appeared, clearly without Andrew having put them there. Like that weird one that's just pictures of towers, or the "Lethe" one. Considering that one is very heavily implied to be connected to the memory loss, I'm surprised it hasnt been mentioned.
11/06/2023 @elektrikliscankanal9358: maybe one of them was the one in "lethe protocol". perhaps one with the shadow appeareance is the scientist guy from lethe and the other one is another person
12/06/2023 @hollowisdumb4094: I’m guessing they went so far into it that they went into the place of no return the point when they somehow got trapped minecraft with what chris figured out written in the journals and another also figured what chris did and the same thing happened but that doesn’t explain there skins but I’m guessing they are trying to stop chris from the same thing happening
12/06/2023 @octoburr426: honestly i believe that the one with the face from 4 is the same being, and the creator read comments that i saw complaining that it looked cheesy
12/06/2023 @Cozmatik: I believe that the reason that the ''Lethe Protocol'' hasn't been mentioned is becuase he cannot see it. As he said before the couldn't read some of the comments after the protocol, so i am guessing the same goes for the protocol, and only after he find the truth, he might be able to see the video.
12/06/2023 @StormStabs: Honestly, just to take a second, some of the "Figure" appearances have not jump scared me, but even worse, they made me freeze, I would be calm and relaxed watching a masterpiece of an arg and BAM like a brick wall, I feel; Threatened, Uncomfortable, Scared, Intimidated and overall terrified in the best way (Because that's the point of these videos, it's a arg). It is beautiful, more "Horror Games" and, "Horror Movies" need to be like this series. I LOVE IT!!!
12/06/2023 @JohnSmith-wv5km: The score on these is incredible (especially the music starting when Andrew realizes what world he entered, and then the droning starting just as the basement comes into view)
11/06/2023 @oddtomato1049: Despite not having played far on that world I somehow perfectly recognized that stone wall and pond. I guess it just shows for long I was stuck there.
11/06/2023 @testerwulf3357: The nostalgia when the music kicked up and the giant minecraft logo in the sky came into view, omg
12/06/2023 @The_KE: I have a big theory where the sign that says, “I was the second. You will be the third,” was placed by Chris saying that there are multiple shadow figures and he was the second. I think that the second sign, “but the first is not so kind,” means that the first shadow figure lured Chris into a trap that turned Chris into the second shadow figure or something else bad. I think Chris is the one placing the signs telling Andrew to stop digging deeper because if he does, he will become the third shadow figure and the first one is doing the same thing he did to Chris, lure Andrew in to become another shadow figure, aka the third.
01/06/2024 @elinelson5399: The you will be the third is phrased more of a statement rather than a warning less of “if you continue you will be the third” and more of “you are going to be the third”
02/06/2024 @The_KE: @elinelson5399 I’ll take that into consideration.
02/06/2024 @gachagirlgamer1777: I really don’t think that Chris is putting down those signs. Someone else said Chris spells in an I’m, I’ll, I’ve kind of way but those signs write out full sentence words. It makes no sense but in a way that shadow figure feels different than the ones we’ve seen before. Almost like it’s trying to trap him in a loop. Idk.
02/06/2024 @meiilla3690: @gachagirlgamer1777 idrc enough to contribute to theory making, id rather jus watch others create them, but i will say that u got ur memory a bit backwards lol
chris is the one who DOESNT write with contractions such as I'm, I'll, I've
the reason this is weird cuz the shadow figure initiating the lethe protocol used those contractions, hinting that it was not chris
02/06/2024 @gachagirlgamer1777: @meiilla3690 lol I thought I got something wrong. It didn’t make sense to me after I made the comment. Thank you for correcting me!!😊 I’m really into this series now and am very excited for the next!😁
11/06/2023 @klubzyboy4737: So Andrew said that Chris made a horror map... Why does all of this feel like Andrew is playing it and does not have any clue about that? those two were close friends and i bet Chris knew thing or two about Andrew and it lead to creating whatever this is. Both players' worlds binded together. Question is, how did Chris managed to mangle all this together
11/06/2023 @comparatorclock: I am curious too. From some of what Andrew is saying, maybe the wells serve as like, wormhole apertures between worlds on different devices or something? How that was wrangled together I have no idea, but if true, then this whole situation has more inter-world wormholes going on than in all of the rest of the Gigaverse combined, which is interesting...
11/06/2023 @The_Hero_Of_All_15: My theory now is that either Chris killed himself.. or.. something killed Chris and what it was killed before, or someone else killed themselves, and I think Chris may be trying to warn Andrew that this force will either kill him or he will kill himself and I personally understand Andrew having his own mindset in his situation, I am not really a ghost believer myself either, but I pray at the end of this Chris and Andrew don't have the same fate, also I hope Chris' eternal, spiritual life is in heaven, not hell.
11/06/2023 @The_Hero_Of_All_15: @geekzombie8795 yea, I know I trying to say after all that, but it does seem like Chris was killed instead of killing himself
11/06/2023 @TheBloxxedSanarcati: Imagine if Chris made an elaborate prank with command blocks and went on offline mode...
12/06/2023 @hungrycuh: cheats are disabled (u cant use command blocks)
12/06/2023 @aliyanimran3094: then how did he erased andrew's memory!??!?!?!
12/06/2023 @laurelalloro: @aliyanimran3094 It's part of the prank
01/06/2024 @penwozhere: @aliyanimran3094 new command block update lmao

“It’s just a prank bro.”
“Who the fuck are you?”
01/06/2024 @exuvie1: Hes definitely morphing into something similar to Chris. The distortion in audio at 20:55 was super similar to what the shadow creature (presumably Chris) sounded like when it erased Andrew’s memories. Definitely some loss of self/control there. Andrew also says he starts to get excited when he sees the wells, and something tells me thats not good at all.
