finally started uploading an ARG project i’ve been slowly building for a while and i’m honestly really excited about it

it follows a university archivist who discovers a hidden office and an old external hard drive labeled PROJECT_Y, then decides to document the contents before telling anyone else it exist

the story unfolds through:

screen recordings

transcribed files

archive restorations

community posts

and audience participation puzzles!

it’s very slow burn and heavily inspired by old internet mysteries, archival research, obsolete software, and weird academic documents

also i got way too invested in designing fake research papers and archive metadata for this thing

first log is up now :)

LOCATION: Undisclosed Containment Interview Room – Facility G-11, Sub-Level 3 SUBJECT: Agent [REDACTED] INTERVIEWER: Internal Affairs, Delta Green Division (VELUM) DATE: October 17th TIME: 04:38 AM

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

Agent sits slouched. Shadows under his eyes. He stares at the flickering light in the ceiling like it’s blinking in Morse code. Then he speaks.

AGENT: Forget the Monocle Man. That was the opening act. That was the warm-up.

You want to know how deep it goes?

Let me ask you something simple. What color is Chartreuse?

Because I swear—when I was a kid, it was red. Like crimson. I remember my aunt’s dress. She called it her “Chartreuse silk.” But now? Chartreuse is neon green. Always was.

Except… not for me. And not for a lot of people.

And it’s not just color.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall”? Never existed. It’s “Magic mirror.” Check the film.

“Luke, I am your father”? Wrong. It’s “No, I am your father.”

Pikachu never had a black-tipped tail.

C-3PO had a silver leg.

Curious George? Never had a tail.

People laugh it off. Mandela Effect. Shared memory glitch. But what if I told you… it’s not a glitch? What if it’s the point?

In 2018, we found a basement in Chicago. Old VHS rental shop. Sign still read “Be Kind, Rewind.”

In the back, behind a false wall, were shelves of alternate edits. Movies just slightly… off. E.T. never says “Phone home.” The Flintstones had two Ts. Then one. Then two again. A journal on the desk labeled: “Test Patterns. Cultural Anchors. Control Points.”

And scribbled in the margins — a glyph. The same one as before. A spiral. Three cuts.

We found it again last week — etched in the condensation of a grocery store freezer. Barely there. Like it was sweating through time.

But here’s the thing:

Every time we find one of these anomalies... they vanish the moment we try to document them.

The records blur. The videos glitch. And people start arguing online: "It was always that way." "You just remember wrong." "Stop being weird."

They weaponize consensus. And once everyone agrees… the past is gone.

INTERVIEWER (VELUM): You're claiming memory has been deliberately altered?

AGENT: No. I’m saying memory is the battleground.

You shift enough small things—logos, quotes, children’s books— you soften the edges of what people know.

And then?

Then you change the big stuff.

INTERVIEWER: Such as?

AGENT: History. Maps. Entire wars.

And someday... maybe even you.

Because here’s the question I want you to ask:

If I said, “Febreze always had two Es,” would you check the bottle?

Or would you just believe me?

Monster Report Form

An in-universe SANCT official monster-hunting form for monsters defeated in the field. While not mandatory, eligible hunters can fill out the form to receive SANCT Bucks, a SANCT-exclusive currency that can be redeemed at your local Sanct facility store. Hunters may also receive other rewards, such as vouchers or the appropriate local currency, if needed.

This was a handout I made for players in On a Pale Horse (ALIEN RPG campaign), which is an excerpt from the in-universe user’s manual for a Bumblebee-class Light Starfreighter. I used a 1980s “manual” for the Space Shuttle as the basis for the layout and text.

Creepen, Category-1 Hunter

Creepen is a field hunter for SANCT and the perspective character for the dreams that shape the world of Sanct. He is a Category-1 Hunter, the lowest of the four achievable categories for Hunters within the organization. He is currently serving as a Facility hunter pending the reconstruction of his home, following an altercation with another SANCT Hunter that resulted in its destruction.

His Sanct weapon is a standard-issue Sanctuary Broadsword, a sword typically given to Category-1 Hunters. The edge is built almost entirely from Sword Material, making it incredibly effective for both defeating and deterring monsters. These powerful swords are often issued to Category-1 Hunters to compensate for their lack of special abilities.

Milky, Category-4 Hunter

Milky is a field hunter for SANCT and a secondary character for the dreams that shape the world of Sanct. She is a Category-4 Hunter, the absolute peak of what a Hunter can achieve within the organization.

Milky's power cannot be overstated, It’s said they could glass Texas in the blink of an eye if they ever so inclined, and no single person could stop them. She is able to erect columns of lightning so long it can stretch over multiple states, and thick enough to envelop cities. Her prowess as a hunter is renowned, demonstrated by her encounter with the notorious patriarch of 'Hell,' the demon who called himself king.

Her SANCT weapons is a spear mandated and custom-built by sanctuary to compliment her abilities. It can be used to separate her wool into workable strands for her use. Though it took quite awhile to get used to it shape and bulk, milky wields it with ease. Unlike most SANCT weapons, Milky's Distaff's blade does not have any trace of Sword Material. Instead, the threads of her wool have small, near microscopic shavings in them that she uses to slay Miasma spawn.

A Demon who called himself King

The self-proclaimed king of hell, A wasteland of the worlds forgot atrocities. Cold, dank, and flooded his attire and personality resembles its kit-bashed nature. Nebulously guiding folks through hell with his eccentric personality Demon who called himself King is full of life and bursting with a hard to follow eccentric energy. He is amongst the most powerful, chaotic beings in "hell", he is often easygoing, and bored; so much so that he primarily uses his abilities as a means to amuse himself at the behest of others to entertain himself. While not outright malicious his tricks can be seen as confusing and mean-spirited. He is an amorphous creature whose abilities include spatial manipulation, shape-shifting, complete immunity to most physical attacks, perception manipulation, and the ability to summon inky demonic entities that share his immunity—all among many other powers yet to be seen.

How he fits into SANCT Canon is dubious. His origins stem from the very first dreams, and he acted as an antagonistic force to Cat-1 Hunter Creepen and Cat-4 Hunter Milky, who fell into his domain while on a completely separate mission. It is likely that he originates from a theological system, serving as a ruler or leader of other demons; however, his exact roots in such folklore remain mysterious, as he resembles no known entity from these works. It is also safe to assume that the hell he presides over is a form of domain—one left unfettered and allowed to grow so vast that it becomes a plane in and of itself. He is immensely powerful, likely the single most powerful entity aside from the Miasma itself in SANCT canon. it is only by his very nature and Cat-4 Milky's abilities that the two were ever allowed to leave.

Defeated Monster Form - Jack the ripper

Filled-in Monster Report Form Sheet – This sheet is based on a dream I had involving Category-1 Hunter, Creepen, and Category-4 Hunter, Silver Spade, both ensnared within the domain of a Category-4 Urban Folklore manifestation of the unidentified English serial killer, Jack the Ripper. Initially assessed by SANCT as a Category-2 threat, it was intended to be eliminated under Silver Spade’s supervision during Creepen's evaluation for a promotion to Category-2, following several highly successful hunts where he played a pivotal role in handling higher-tier threats.

I can post the full deets of this specific manifestation of Jack the ripper, its powers, its domain, and other lore bits later if anyone wants it.

I also plan on writing a short story based off the dream when i have the chance that i can also share if interest arises.
