horrific, paranormal and unsettling events or circumstances abound

and may range from the fantastic to the disturbingly realistic

Anatomy 1963

Anatomy 1963

12/5/24, 2:50 AM

Anatomy (1963) is the lost directorial debut of famous filmmaker, Milo Williams. A film distribution company gets their hands on the highly sought-after lost film, and in their attempts to restore it, discover its disturbing origins. We follow several characters on the restoration staff as they uncover the mystery of the film's reclusive director and several actors who have seemingly gone missing. Each entry of restored film includes codes placed by the film reel's previous owners that correspond to hidden webpages. The entire project takes inspiration from horror cinema of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as other cases of lost media discovery.

Into the Descent

Twelve portals emerged over the course of three decades, cementing themselves on Earth. They are a pathway to another planet known as Janus, and on this planet holds creatures known as Portraits. As the years pass, they integrate into society, and one of these aliens is Mills Wallace, a stuck-up news person. As he continues on with his normal-as-can-be life, something seems off in recent years and will need the help of everyone to make sure the destruction of worlds never happens.

"I don't have explanation for how the game works, I only have access to the videos I can only see. They appear and disappear on YouTube so I download them quick and upload. This has started happening more this year. 2024. Thank you for patience."

Vermis Malum

Vermis Malum

5/31/24, 8:27 AM

In a series of tapes filmed some time in the winter of 2021, Lawrence documents his discovery of an old laptop in his attic that contains the (only?) copy of an esoteric “lost video game” called Vermis Malum. As he plays, snippets of notes, audio, and images offer surreal glimpses of a cryptic mythology surrounding the game and its supposed creator, the troubled lives of players who stumbled on it before him, and the shape of something cruel and hungry slouching in the dark place behind the screen, waiting patiently to be born.

En Abîme

En Abîme

5/31/24, 7:55 AM

This collection of webpages, songs, forum posts, zines, art, and videos centers around five characters whose consciousnesses are preserved in digital and physical archives (including a 1930s(?) vaudeville singer, a 1980s high school jock, and a 1990s riot grrrl.) Characters have been very responsive so far, so high hopes for future interactable content!
