We’re now delving into things that may or may not be common knowledge, meaning that we learned of them through either someone else’s blog or video before looking at or into these things ourselves or that they are fairly obvious and apparent on the website. We will still be spoilering all these bits of info and findings, as to not spoil the ARG for anyone who may want to start from the beginning in their own exploration of it. Please, PLEASE, do not spoil others’ fun of this creation. Everyone deserves to enjoy it as they wish, at their own pace and without worrying about spoilers every time they look on social media. And now, without furthur ado, onto our post!
We’re going to go through the more relatively well known bits and bobs, divided up into groups, each in their own post. We’ll start with the basics, that being the simplest and most apparent things on the website. Let’s begin on the home page.
One of the first notable things when visiting the home page is a wonderful and beautiful image of Wally at the top, sitting on a rock beneath a tree. On this rock, we can find an eye painted on it, as seen below.
This is the most obvious eye in the picture, but there do, in fact, seem to be others hidden in there! Such as this white one you can see in one of the flowers:
This other eye in another flower:
And this one in the top right of the tree! Though I know this could likely be just a little knot in the wood, as is particularly common in trees, I still would like to believe it’s eye-like shape to be on purpose!
The next thing one may notice that’s odd is all the silly little eyes in the side bar images! Alongside these are a number of items, and there’s at least one for each of the characters! Home is represented by itself as well as likely representing Wally, flowers that I assume are for Julie, butterflies for Frank, silly balls for Barnaby, letters and a mailbox for Eddie, feathers for Poppy, a bunch of fruit for Howdy that includes a little caterpillar and the abundance of apples possibly also representing Wally, and I believe the confetti and party popper and neat little star-shaped explosion to be representing Sally! Below is an image of the sidebar showing all of these.
Hopefully you can see everything I listed as I do!
Another small thing that sticks out to me, though it very likely has no real significance and simply adds to the feel of the website, is the current gif displayed under website updates. I’m not sure if this gif has ever been anything different or will change, but I will attempt to aptly secure proof of it as it is for the sake of this post and partitally for that little part of my brain that yells for me to catalogue!
Here we can see it’s skrunkly little self, with all it’s strange green pixely-ness! My eyes like to deceive me into thinking there’s eyes in the background, but I’m pretty sure that’s just my brain playing tricks on me. I believe this certainly adds to the feel of the website, though as I’ve said, it very likely has no real purpose or meaning in the story other than to look nice on the front page! Still, I will catalogue it!
Next bit on this page is within the paragraphs next to the gif. Here is where we find the very first of the strange letters that are out of place! The y in “your” is slightly out of place. For those that may not know, there are several letters on the website that are out of place and putting them together in a certain way gives us some very interesting things. But! We’ll get to that in another future post, after we’ve gone over all these letters and where they are, as I personally actually had some great trouble in finding a couple of them and I wonder if others, too, struggle with it?
These paragraphs also mention the ever strange and curious Question-Answerer, which we will likely discuss more of when we talk about the News page!
That is all for now, as I would like to go over and post about these things in group by their pages. Please, please let me know if I missed anything that you noticed and I didn’t! I’m so excited for every little bit I find out, and would truly appreciate more happy bits for my brain to ramble over! Thank you so much for reading, and we wish you a wonderful Welcome Home~!
Not a finding, but rather, a creation! We are also wanting to share our love of this ARG with you all, and what better way to do so than to share what we make? This is a keychain I designed and cross-stitched for myself, and I think it came out quite well!
As we go into a period of not personally discovering anything new, we will likely begin to post things that aren’t new findings. This may include art we’ve personally made, information or parts of the ARG that are more common knowledge, and compilations of fun facts that Clown has shared about the characters. We hope that you all still enjoy these other sorts of posts just as much, even if it’s not the same new content we were hoping to be sharing with you all! Thank you so much for your time, and we sincerely Welcome you Home~.
We very briefly changed our url name, which broke some of the Keep Reading buttons, particularly on the reblogged posts. It was causing them to lead to broken pages, so we’ve now changed our url back. They should be working again. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
