00:00:00
who doesn't like a good Creepy Pasta
00:00:02
there you are in Middle School on a
00:00:04
Friday night under your covers watching
00:00:06
some good old Garry's Mod funny moments
00:00:08
when all of a sudden you stumble upon a
00:00:10
good scare whether it be the classics
00:00:12
like Slenderman I feel fantastic or the
00:00:14
plethora of other spooky videos on
00:00:16
Youtube creepy pastas are safe to stay
00:00:18
still going strong to this day with
00:00:20
analog horror being used as not only a
00:00:22
conduit for some of these classic creepy
00:00:24
pasta stories but also being heavily
00:00:26
influenced by the same tropes that these
00:00:28
pastas had video game creepy pastas are
00:00:30
no exception and they are still super
00:00:33
popular For Better or For Worse well
00:00:35
there is a new Sonic Creepy Pasta on the
00:00:37
Block and while it's not blowing up I
00:00:39
feel that its story and presentation is
00:00:41
a breath of fresh air compared to older
00:00:44
more established video game creepy Posas
00:00:46
initially posted on the sfgh HQ form or
00:00:49
the Sonic fan game form on January 12th
00:00:52
2024 user green mouth Sonic appeared out
00:00:55
of nowhere this user joined the Forum on
00:00:57
January 10th 2 days before making their
00:00:59
initial post and then he just
00:01:01
disappeared right after YouTube user
00:01:03
squishy box would be the first to post
00:01:05
this game in its full completion since
00:01:07
then Twitter and other accounts would
00:01:09
help boost this game's popularity to
00:01:11
solve the mystery and boy is there a
00:01:13
mystery before we get into the
00:01:15
nitty-gritty let's actually step into
00:01:18
the world of Green Mountain This creepy
00:01:21
pasta is
00:01:23
[Music]
00:01:28
playable
00:01:31
[Music]
00:01:38
well that was something the game is
00:01:41
deceptively simple it consists of a
00:01:44
distorted version of the level Green
00:01:46
Hill Zone the music is this weird
00:01:48
distorted version of well we really have
00:01:50
no idea everything about the game is
00:01:52
completely fried from the visuals to the
00:01:54
sound effects as you progress through
00:01:56
the game you encounter the dark version
00:01:58
of Sonic initially it might seem like
00:02:00
you're just going to die with a jump
00:02:01
scare at the end but that isn't the case
00:02:04
the distorted Sonic begins to push
00:02:06
against the screen until you hit it and
00:02:08
it dissolves into nothing a pool of
00:02:11
black goo you'd think at this point a
00:02:13
giant scary monster will pop up or a
00:02:15
message on the screen but no you're just
00:02:18
left sitting there in complete silence
00:02:21
as the music cuts out that is until the
00:02:23
Sonic Sprite itself begins to change he
00:02:26
starts to look more and more like the
00:02:28
dark version of Sonic we fought earlier
00:02:30
then he suddenly stops and his face
00:02:32
completely melts off completing the
00:02:34
transformation the level Everything
00:02:36
grows darker apart from Sonic's blue
00:02:38
outline then we get the message game
00:02:41
over that's
00:02:44
it let's get on to the analysis first
00:02:47
let's cover the surface level and that
00:02:49
is the name itself Green Mountain or the
00:02:52
Green Mountain trail on first Glam seems
00:02:54
to just be a more ominous version of
00:02:56
saying Green Hill Zone you know typical
00:02:58
Creepy Pasta things but the more you
00:03:00
look into it the deeper it gets the
00:03:02
level itself constantly forces Sonic to
00:03:05
keep climbing up and up and up it's
00:03:08
almost like climbing a mountain hence
00:03:10
the name this message gets all the more
00:03:12
obvious when you delve into the actual
00:03:15
game files this is where the ARG aspect
00:03:18
of this game becomes more apparent
00:03:20
forgive me for my lack of knowledge on
00:03:22
delving into game files and getting into
00:03:24
the actual code but I did my best
00:03:27
utilizing the undertale mod tool the
00:03:29
pieces begin to start coming together
00:03:32
the more you look into all these tabs
00:03:34
each tab comes with a specific set of
00:03:36
text and these texts spell out a
00:03:38
sentence now I tried piecing together
00:03:40
the sentence but thankfully that job was
00:03:42
done for me by Twitter user bashy Bush
00:03:45
so thank you very much for making it
00:03:47
actually
00:03:50
cohesive we've been checking up this
00:03:52
route
00:03:53
forever couldn't you do it
00:03:56
now you will get there sooner than later
00:04:00
yeah speaking of how far is
00:04:03
it Green Mountain is not
00:04:06
far okay we are here did you bring the
00:04:11
shovel no no we left it in the
00:04:15
car it's in the
00:04:18
pack have you talked to
00:04:20
her not
00:04:23
really why
00:04:25
not I don't want to
00:04:27
talk why
00:04:30
I'm exhausted as it is I'll set stuff up
00:04:33
at the
00:04:34
clearing do you already need to
00:04:37
go no but I need it to Mark
00:04:43
something before we analyze the text
00:04:46
there is one more file here that is very
00:04:48
concerning and worthy of attention the
00:04:50
file is named returnal and the contents
00:04:53
of it are quite disturbing the photo is
00:04:57
a distorted image of something I see it
00:05:00
as something crawling on the floor and
00:05:02
that something is well Sonic Twitter
00:05:05
user cardum drew a crude outline of the
00:05:08
blue figure and while not perfect is a
00:05:10
pretty good representation of what I
00:05:12
think it is other users on Twitter and
00:05:14
on the Sonic games forums claim that
00:05:16
it's a picture of a mountain when you
00:05:17
brighten it up in Photoshop but I've
00:05:19
done the exact same thing and I don't
00:05:21
know what they're talking about but who
00:05:23
knows right the picture is almost
00:05:24
unrecognizable and even taking it to
00:05:26
photoshop or Lightroom doesn't reveal
00:05:28
much so it's only Theory at this point
00:05:31
the question is what the hell does all
00:05:33
of this even mean the Music and Sound is
00:05:36
also something that first needs to be
00:05:38
analyzed and a lot of interesting
00:05:40
information was found in the music
00:05:42
firstly the main music file that's used
00:05:44
in the game is called left it there. OG
00:05:48
and during the Sonic fight and
00:05:49
subsequent end of the game is the exact
00:05:52
same song but reversed and slowed down
00:05:54
with extra tones hidden in the music
00:05:57
Twitter user lemon Blues did extensive
00:05:59
work on the game in general and has a
00:06:01
great thread on the music and sound of
00:06:03
the game and they found a lot of
00:06:06
interesting things I don't want to steal
00:06:08
their thunder so I'll link all of their
00:06:10
posts here if you want a super deep
00:06:13
analysis or you want to jump on the hunt
00:06:15
as well but it really does add a lot
00:06:17
more Dimension to the horror in summary
00:06:20
there are several sound effects in the
00:06:21
main soundtrack that seem to reference
00:06:23
the number
00:06:25
811 which according to National Law is
00:06:28
the number you need to call before
00:06:30
beginning a digging project if you
00:06:32
remember the dialogue they mention a
00:06:35
shovel and a possible burial so who
00:06:38
knows this is a fairly new Creepy Pasta
00:06:42
ARG so information is scarce but putting
00:06:45
together the basic pieces you can come
00:06:47
up with a short albe rough analysis as
00:06:50
to what is going on so the text if you
00:06:52
notice it's written like a dialogue
00:06:54
between two people considering there is
00:06:57
mention of a shovel it could be assumed
00:06:59
that that both of these people are going
00:07:00
to bury or dig something up at the Green
00:07:04
Mountain considering the fact that one
00:07:06
of the individuals is afraid to talk to
00:07:08
a specific her mentioned it more likely
00:07:10
seems that they're going to bury
00:07:13
something rather than dig it up the
00:07:14
channel madzilla has already covered a
00:07:16
lot of this information and he managed
00:07:18
to actually get a good look at the
00:07:20
entire map of the game through the mod
00:07:22
tool that I'm using I'm not really sure
00:07:25
how to do that and I've looked around on
00:07:26
Reddit and on fors but no dice so I'm
00:07:29
going to be using his footage for this
00:07:31
when you zoom out and look closely the
00:07:33
level is designed like a big mountain
00:07:36
the Green Mountain what does this all
00:07:38
mean in the grand scheme what was buried
00:07:41
in the Green Mountain well it's safe to
00:07:43
say it's nothing good in fact I think
00:07:46
they probably either buried a person
00:07:49
that they had a connection to or killed
00:07:52
or a more out their Theory they're going
00:07:54
to bury an animal or a pet stay with me
00:07:58
on this because I think it's a a good
00:07:59
theory and it's not talked about a lot
00:08:01
now the dialogue between the two
00:08:03
individuals seems very casual there
00:08:06
isn't really a sense of urgency and
00:08:08
apart from feeling a little guilty for
00:08:10
not telling her about something there
00:08:12
really isn't anything that screams
00:08:13
murder until you mention the shovel plus
00:08:17
why would they need to talk to her about
00:08:19
a murder if they're already going to
00:08:21
bury it unless it had some form of deep
00:08:23
connection with said her also why would
00:08:26
they need to call 811 or why is that
00:08:29
even referenced in the music in general
00:08:32
it could just be a hint to further drive
00:08:34
home the fact that they're going to dig
00:08:36
something or bury something but I don't
00:08:38
know doesn't really seem that way what
00:08:40
if and bear with me the deceased pet or
00:08:43
person depending on what you think comes
00:08:45
back to life as this malformed Sonic
00:08:49
looking creature the picture while not
00:08:51
super clear seems to be taken outside
00:08:54
maybe at the dig site where the burial
00:08:57
was done this burial and digging theory
00:09:00
is again all but confirmed since 811 is
00:09:03
the digging number so to speak but the
00:09:05
whole murder thing is still up in the
00:09:07
air apart from those theories there
00:09:10
isn't anything more that we can analyze
00:09:12
so far since this is a fairly new Creepy
00:09:15
Pasta / ARG we have to wait for more
00:09:18
information on the matter overall it's a
00:09:20
very solid start with some basic but
00:09:23
interesting lore let's see where it goes
00:09:25
from here and if I missed anything
00:09:27
forgive me it's my first time covering
00:09:29
in ARG or any horror content in general
00:09:32
so uh yeah I hope you enjoyed this
00:09:35
change of pace per se see you guys
