In January of 2024, we began anonymously writing an online multimedia musical called En Abîme with our friends Lana Gaige and Katie Hameetman. The musical was an Alternate Reality Game (an ARG) — an immersive experience that never acknowledged that it was fiction. 100+ webpages, 100k+ words, five geocaches scattered across the East Coast, and one loyal player base later, En Abîme has come to an end — which means we can finally talk about it!

En Abîme’s story followed a group of data ghosts made up of their own archive, such as a vaudeville singer trapped in a wax cylinder or a ‘90s riot grrrl made from her zines. From following thousands of users on social media as a spooky 1930s trailhead to hiding puzzles in library books to writing encoded emails to stickering NYC punk bars from 5pm until 3am, this has been an singular creative and learning experience. We coded, we sang, we postered, we crafted, we ran games, and we built an incredible audience up from total anonymous scratch!

We’ve made the website more linear, so you can now read through it chronologically like a webcomic here! Credits and more information about En Abîme are available on our website. And for those looking for our next ARG — stay curious the next time you see a spooky sticker or run into a mysterious link. It could be just the tip of a two-year artistic project!

Thank you to Lana and Katie for creating this with us, and to Lara Priya Sachdeva and Andrew Matos for acting!

And last but not least, a HUGE thank you to everyone who played!

Hello, everybody! Long time no see!

s or ry it's be en a littl e bi t.

Hope everything’s been goin’ well on your front. Oh, it’s been a stellar time for us! Can’t believe Henry and I celebrated our one-year-anniversary just a week ago.

ther e was a par t y but it ha d to be pr etty quiet. you kn ow why. than ks for all the wel l- wis hes t hou gh!

Now, I’ve been hard at work. Henry here’s helped me gain more of an understanding of what kinda li’l’ procedures may be a bit more, well, humane-like to be subjectin’ folks to. Together, we’ve designed a bit o’ something that may help undo the li’l’ experiment I carried out a couple of years ago. We’ve designed it to be a sort of game. Painless! Harmless! You tell ‘em, Henry!

well, i woul dn't call it a game , ex ac tl y, but more of ext ra h an ds on d eck du r ing th e actual operation. s ort ing ou t th e signals, t hat ki nd of thing. it shouldn't hurt them at all. and shouldn't hurt us. i made sure of th at.

Yes! Extra hands on deck! We’re gonna need your help. Stay tuned!

ROUND 1 — Match 235 of 276

Monokuma (Danganronpa)

Problematic because: "his job is to trap teenagers in a school, give them reasons to kill each other, then execute whoever gets caught. he runs the class trials, mocks people while they’re grieving, keeps changing the situation to make everyone more desperate, and treats the whole thing like a game show he’s hosting for fun. in the first game he’s being controlled by junko, but as a character/mascot he’s still the face of basically every awful thing happening - the rules, the motives, the punishments, the cameras, the “upupupu” while everyone is having the worst day of their lives. and across the series, monokuma keeps coming back as the mascot/host figure for more killing games, more executions, and more “let’s turn human suffering into entertainment” nonsense." Propaganda: 1. "monokuma is terrible but he is unfortunately also very funny. like yes he is forcing teenagers to solve murders and then watching them get executed, but he does it with the energy of a game show host who has never once been told to shut up. every time he appears you’re like “oh god what now” and then he says the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard. i hate him. i love him. i want to punt him down a hallway. this is exactly how a mascot villain should make me feel." 2. "imagine getting trapped in a murder school and your warden is a build-a-bear with legal authority. disgusting little bear. put him in the bracket."

vs. Tati Englejes (En Abime)

Problematic because: "she lowk kinda nominated her ex and his twin sister to be experimented on but like. her ex deserved it" Propaganda: "she is a beautiful femme lesbian and your friend lover idol god and she used to use wattpad"

Who should advance?

Monokuma

Tati Englejes
