Hi! This is my first time posting here. I just randomly got a video with 14 views recomended to me by YouTube. Visited the channel and it seems brand new (only 2 videos uploaded). Even though I love watching deep dives into ARGs, I suck at solving them lol. So I thought I'd share it with you guys. The videos are well made and it seems like the creator put in a lot of effort. Here's the link to the channel (It's called The Wilton Preservation Society):
So I found this channel called D. Industries (credit to for pointing it out). I thought it would be nothing but still checked it out, and holy crap, did I find a lot. People are free to go check it out, cause I haven't seen everything yet. But here's what I've got so far.
This channel has been inactive for over 5 years, so I don't think there's gonna be any new updates, but it's still pretty cool. There are only three videos, each of them seem to be an emergency broadcast of some sort. They all mention these creatures called the "Halocite," but I'll get into that later.
On one of the videos, you can hear what is supposedly the screams of these creatures, yet something makes me think it's either morse code, or some sort of spectrogram. Anyway, in the description of all of their videos, there's a link to their website. But in the description of one of the videos, there's a message that reads the following:
TSORRY SORRY SORRY HSORRY SORRY SORRY ESORRY SORRY SORRY YSORRY SORRY SORRY ASORRY SORRY SORRY RSORRY SORRY SORRY ESORRY SORRY SORRY LSORRY SORRY SORRY YSORRY SORRY SORRY ISORRY SORRY SORRY NSORRY SORRY SORRY GSORRY SORRY SORRY
If you select the first letter of each word, it spells out "they are lying." However, this is all I found on their channel (feel free to check out that audio or anything else that I may have missed). The website is a whole different level, though. We are greeted with the introduction to D. Industries, as well as a few directories to other parts of the website. I won't go over everything, but this is basically my understanding of the lore (so far).
D. Industries is a company that explores inter and outer space. They are put in groups, with several employees in each group. Their goal is to successfully discover all of outer space. They've discovered 3 planets: Yathar, Garshta, and Athoea, each containing their own, "colony." There are 634 employees per colony. Supposedly, they've discovered 300 new species. However, this is where the dark part comes in. They recently discovered a new species of aliens that call themselves the, "Halocite." These were the only species that they discovered that could both speak and write English. Although they could write it perfectly, they spoke in broken English with awkward pauses between words. These species were very aggressive and started to attack the colonist employees, and the organization had to stop and eventually hold them captive. They interviewed them and found their true intentions.
Basically, they were in a deep slumber until D. Industries woke them up, which then led them to sudden aggression. They need bodies, and said they had to go to desperate measures. They are afraid of liquid and mention something about a "knight." I didn't fully understand it, but they have transcripts on the website so feel free to read it for yourself. On the transcripts, the Dr. that interviewed them has his name blacked out. I feel like if I went into the code, I could see his name. Sadly, I'm a fucking dumbass and can't do that. Also, on the front page you can apply for a job by entering your email. I put my in and hopefully I can get an email or something. They are also obsessed with crystals.
I also found some codes on the website, all using base64. Here they are:
Y3J5c3RhbGxpbmUgdHJ1dGhzIA== is, "crystalline truths."
c2VjcmV0c2tlcHRhcmV3ZWFwb25zd2FzdGVk is, "secretskeptareweaponswasted."
Finally, QU5EIFRIRSBVTklWRVJTRSBTQU5HIA0K is, "AND THE UNIVERSE SANG."
I'm not quite sure what all of this means, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
Edit: I also found this unsettling photo.
Hello, my name is Austin Burch and I am currently a graduate student at George Mason University in the Computer Game Design department. As a part of my degree I am conducting a study for my thesis "Alternate Reality Games: A Cultural and Gaming Phenomenon" (IRB ID: 2077230-1) and am seeking participants who have experience participating in ARGs, or anyone who has followed the course of an ARG for a survey regarding their experiences and opinions relating to ARGs! The survey consists of 26 questions and should take between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the thoroughness of your responses. No identifying data will be collected and all results will be anonymous. Please consider participating and sharing the survey with other fans of ARGs! We hope to reach as broad of an audience as possible in the ARG community, so please share your voice!
I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the study and can be reached at .
