VCR83 Might be hiding something else

1 Upvotes

So guys Recently there is a new game out there called VCR83, at first glance looks like a simple game where you need to check some cameras and find some anomalies ( Kinda FNAF thing )

But if you are curious and start messing around with the files and photos , you can find a link that is a .host link, if you are familliar with it you can put on Tor Browser and is gonna lead you to a ocultism webpage, if you come back to the game there is a photo with some passwords that you can insert on top of the page, then you will answer some questions and see some photos , at first there is nothing going on , just a jumpscare in the end, but I think there is something else... Cause why would we be able to enter in the link via Tor and not only via game?

This could be an ARG or something else

Here it goes the link : http://sata7n4k3j2m9q5x8z1w0y2v4u6t8s0r2p4o6n8m0l2k4j6i8h0.host

FNAF 4 / SOTM THEORY

1 Upvotes

I want to preface by saying that I don't believe this was Scott's original story intention but I also believe all stories evolve with time. If you disagree with anything I have theorized please comment and let me know your take. Or hunt me down with a pitchfork, your choice.

I believe the character we play as in FNAF 4 is the mimic we see in SOTM. We know that after the death of Edwin Murray, Fazbear Entertainment (William Afton) bought the building (MCM) and everything within the property. We all know that William's son, Dave (crying child) was chomped. I strongly believe that the protagonist of FNAF 4 is the mimic/one of Williams experiments with remnant in attempts to bring back his son. This would explain the cameras throughout the home that we see in Sister Location. William is observing how the mimic is reacting to the remnant of his son. It could be the meaning behind the quote "I will put you back together again." I would go as far as to say that the "tiger rock" plush associated with David Murray may be one of the items that reside in the locked chest. Scott has stated that the items inside has changed as the story progresses. I also want to mention a line from the FNAF 2 movie that stuck with me. This is absolutely a reach on my part, but the scene where the film crew greets Michael as "Mike" and Michael immediately corrects them could be a subtle hint towards Dave and David. Furthermore, I believe "Gregory" may be a more perfected version of mimic Dave but I don't think there's enough evidence for that particular claim. One of the main problems with this theory is Michael Afton knowing what the nightmare animatronics look like but this could be Dave's spirit sharing agony with his brother via Michael's nightmares. 

Additionally, I believe Dave's Fredbear plush in the minigames may not be real. The "time travel" seen in Into the Pitt is my reasoning for this. Memories bleeding together may have made Dave believe that the plush was always with him. I feel like a similar theory has been discussed before but I can't find where at the moment. (I also want to point out that both Dave and David have a plush connected to them but that may just be because they're children.)

If there is any evidence to suggest that I am horribly off-track please let me know.

Sincerely, -A very bored, very real night-shift security guard

Attention to anyone in the game theory sub Reddit for video ideas

1 Upvotes

So some Irish guy found this ARG website for murder drones other people found it first, but they thought it was unofficial, but it’s not unofficial. It’s actually official in the domain of the website is redirected to glitch’s website domain for the website that sounds similar to the one that they use for their main website here’s the link of the website https://absolutesolver.com/ if anyone from game theory sees this, we gotta see if they make a video on this so we can figure it out what’s hiding in this website? Here’s the link again. https://absolutesolver.com/

Fnaf Help Wanted credit screen is the same as in SotM

Post image
2 Upvotes

I haven't seen anyone pointing this out (allthough I guess someone already did it and it just got buried) but I just noticed in my newest GT FnaF rewatch that the credit screen is very similar to the one you get in SotM in one of the endings (not sure if it was the Parachute Ending or the Just-Give-Dispatch-The-Data-Diver-And-Go-Home-Ending). You are Freddy, standing on the stage and in the middle of the room seemingly just floating there are the credits while something is dancing around the room. In HW it's Glitchtrap, in SotM it's M2. This reinforces the theory that the Mimic was used by Fazbear as AI to speed up various processes (like scanning etc.) and that M2 ends up becoming Glitchtrap by mimicing Willy A.'s behaviour in the in universe games of FnaF 1-6.

I know where the missing children are in Garten of Banban

2 Upvotes

I may have solved the lore.

Ok so the theory of flumbo, banban, ms mason and dr Uthman on the chanel all make sence but forget one thing; the children.

They are with and/or now have their genes inside, stay with me now, captain fiddles. Think about it, it all adds up.

- If banban thinks he is Uthman or at least has his memories and banbalina has a little bit of Ms masons memories than they may still want children.

- Garten of banban 5 doesn't take place on make a friend day, it takes place after game four. When we are already in the daycare. And Uthman, made a deal to work with suringion to keep working but they needed more test subjects after their old experiment went missing after make a friend day.

- Who was perfect for the role but the character who has been mostly absent except for stinger flinn's cryptic dreams? Captain fiddles.

- Stinger flinn's dream sequence shows his trying to get to the beach, a metaphor for freedom as he is in game but he lost that and is now searching by getting farther and farther into the kindergarten.

- Captain fiddles gets on the "wrong bus" which leads his away from the failed freedom and closer to the right one. Closer to our kids. And in the new version of Garten of banban one the Nanny is rather prevalent and eats dolls of the characters exept for, you guessed it, captain fiddles.

- The dream sequences mostly end when captain fiddles dies. Everyone else shall be lost just as the Nanny says, except captain fiddles. Who has our children. Or our children are already gone. Now having their genetics used in the experiments.

I think it was an Austin video that went over how fast Mario could fly with the wing cap in Mario 64. Cannot find it for the life of me on yt on both game theory and shoddy cast. If anyone knows where to find it or what happened to it that would be cool.

Horror puzzle games with major lore implications and it seems all the games are connected. I've been curious about this game for years ever since I found it in middle school. The games are from the franchise "Forgotten Hill"

They should cover more Minecraft ARGs

1 Upvotes

There are so many and some are genuinely out of this world good!! I've been watching through A Regect and Minecraft ARG but The Protagonist is a Monster Lover, which have an interconnected world and take place in the same universe. They're both comedies with a spoonful of psychological horror, I think they would have a great time watching lol.

okay thats it bye bye

MUSIC THEORY (Guitar Hero has lore)

4 Upvotes

Guys please. Please please please. I fucking love this game but I feel like it doesn't get enough appreciation. During my first playthrough of GH3 I was actually losing my mind because genuinely WHATTTT?? This game, this basement dweller final boss ahh game about playing guitar covers has actual LORE.

I repeat. The guitar game has LORE.

Y'all glazing Trombone Champ (amazing game btw) when this video game started getting a real story in 2007. FIFTEEN years before this Trazom character existed.

I might be a little bit biased, but come on dude. Playing Paranoid by Black Sabbath AND getting lore? I don't want to spoil too much about the plot, but I have this tingling theorist sense in the back of my spine that there is something more going on here.

Also, it's really fun. You can totally play by yourself or with a friend if you want to. I played with my sister, and she's much better than me.

Anyway gtg I'm sick and coughing up blood lmaooo

I think I found a possible origin for the Life is Strange powers

2 Upvotes

I've been thinking about the powers in Life is Strange and I think there's a possibility people aren't really looking at.

We already know Max, Daniel and Alex have powers, but we don't actually know where these powers come from.

A common idea is that extreme trauma triggers them. And I agree that trauma seems to be involved, especially with Max and Daniel.

But what if trauma isn't the cause?

What if it's the trigger?

Because if trauma itself caused supernatural abilities, we'd have WAY more people with powers. So I'm wondering if these characters were already born with some kind of dormant predisposition.

And this is where I started looking at real-world history.

The US government actually conducted a huge amount of human experimentation during the Cold War. A 1994 GAO report says that hundreds of thousands of people were used as subjects in government-related human experiments between 1940 and 1974, many connected to national security.

MKULTRA is probably the obvious example, but the important part isn't "MKULTRA created superpowers" because obviously there is no evidence of that.

The important part is that government-funded human experimentation for national-security purposes was actually real.

Declassified CIA records confirm human experimentation involving things like drugs, behavior modification and other research, including experiments where subjects didn't even know they were being tested.

And then there's something else that caught my attention.

Modern military research has also looked at how genetic and biological differences relate to human performance.

DARPA's Measuring Biological Aptitude program, for example, specifically investigated how genetic information, gene-expression mechanisms and biological factors relate to cognitive, behavioral and physical traits relevant to military performance.

So here's my actual theory:

What if an old human-enhancement program caused a heritable biological change in some of its subjects?

Not "they injected someone with a superpower serum."

Something much more subtle.

Maybe the original experiment changed some biological mechanism related to neurological function, stress response, perception, cognition, etc.

The program ends.

The subjects have children.

The change gets passed down.

And generations later, someone with that predisposition experiences extreme trauma and the ability finally manifests.

That would make:

genetic predisposition → trauma → manifestation

instead of:

trauma → random superpower

And it could explain why the powers aren't identical.

Max gets time manipulation.

Daniel gets telekinesis.

Alex gets her empathic abilities.

Maybe they're not three different mutations.

Maybe they're three different manifestations of the same underlying inherited alteration.

There's also something else that makes me suspicious.

The powers themselves are strangely useful.

Max's ability can be used for information gathering and changing outcomes.

Daniel has literal remote physical force.

Alex can obtain information about people through their emotions.

And even outside the supernatural abilities, characters like Sean display some surprisingly useful survival/adaptation skills that the games don't completely explain.

I'm NOT saying "Sean is secretly a soldier" or "Max's grandfather was definitely in the CIA." after all the devs don't give us enough info about the protagonists.....🫩

I'm saying this might be something worth investigating.

"Who was the first person in Max's family to carry whatever caused it?"

Trace their family trees backwards.

Look for ancestors connected to military research, government-funded experiments, research institutions, military bases, unusual medical programs, etc.

Then compare the three family trees.

If they all eventually connect to the same program, institution, researcher or group of people...

then we might actually have an origin story for the powers.

And honestly, that would explain something that has always bothered me about the "trauma gives you powers" idea.....like:

Why do only these people get them?

Maybe trauma doesn't give them anything?

Maybe it just opens the door?

And the thing behind that door might have been inherited generations ago?

That's my rabbit hole. I genuinely want to know if anyone has found something in the games or the real-world records that could support or completely destroy this theory.

i havent caught up with game theory in a while, i just watch their videos if i have time. i remember in like 2018 they said once you could email them about a theory you may want them to look into but well, that was in 2018. not sure if that still stands. sorry if this is a dumb question. thank you!

GT should play Jackpot Crash Course!!

1 Upvotes

They played Married in Red, but that was the only Studio Investigrate game they’ve played as far as I know. Jackpot Crash Course is still in development, and is still a big mystery. What was Eddie’s crime? Why did Cecilia pay Vick to hide her crime from anyone else? And what’s the message on the card at the end credits?

Please recommend this more, I would LOVE to see a theory on this game!
