I wonder what other secret hidden things we can find at the studio... This is getting creepy, an abandoned filing cabinet?. I feel like we're getting one step closer to finding what those keys go to, hopefully, a safe
We opened the door to the key mystery again, no key will be left unturned. The series first started when we found a weird abandoned space above our office, then upon further investigation, it lead us to find a key hidden up in the ceiling! That key lead us to a series of other discoveries like finding a couple hidden safes around the office and even more extreme, finding a hidden safe inside a wall in Hi5 Studios!
We check surveillance footage and the car has moved. Well, is moving.
We found this in our air vent.. there may be an imposter among us.
We took your advice and tried to look for a VIN number on the car, and this is what happened.
After a journey to the DMV, the car is gone... what happens next?
Don't worry, everyone is safe. Someone tried to break in to Hi5 Studios.
One of you found a hack to open the safe and so today we are going to try it out.
You guys won't believe what Sam discovered. What is in this safe?
Taking a dive into the subreddit to see your discoveries and debrief about what has happened at the studio.
We have security footage of someone actually breaking into Hi5 Studios. What were they here for?
We finally get a peak at what’s in the safe we found in the ceiling. Could you have guessed this?
It's happening! We have officially gained ownership of the now abandoned car. Come along as we go and get it! Now that it's ours... what should we do? What will we find? SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!
Here's what you guys have been waiting for. We go through the car and discover a LOT of clues, some I wish we didn't find.
This was unexpected. The abandoned car was broken into. Don't be alarmed, everyone is safe, but this is shaking us up a bit.
While looking through the clues and car, we came across something INSIDE a seat of the abandoned car. This just keeps getting weirder.
Today, we were opening some fan mail until we noticed a package that seemed off. You'll never guess what's inside. Or maybe you already know.
Today we're going on a journey for this "key" that we need to open the safe someone sent us. Let's see what we can find.
In the spirit of the last episode, the team is finally able to watch the corrupted file from the SD card that was in the binoculars. Not only does it reveal another piece of footage that the Stalker took while hidden away but also showed something far more disturbing that they must come to grips with, even though it's not completely unfamiliar. With the new information in mind, they take a journey to a part of the studio that has otherwise been avoided in this investigation and try to gain some insightful clues or evidence that was possibly left behind by this mysterious assailant as well as see if any of their burning questions might be answered: "who is this mystery person? What do they want?" And even creepier still, "when might they strike again?".
After catching the Stalker snooping around the studio on the NEST cameras in the last video, the team is now on high alert to try and see if they can catch a glimpse of what this vandal might be up to. After finishing up with Orange Base, they turn their attention now to the Red Base cameras and do indeed find some more shocking, creepy evidence. Turns out, this unknown person has now been in not one, not two, but all three bases, roaming around menacingly. It only seems to open up more head-scratching questions, the most unsettling being: how did he vanish so quickly behind the cameras' blindspots and how long was he there for?
This time, the team is going to investigate Red Base warehouse, specifically the area that they saw the Stalker disappear to in the NEST cam footage. After taking some time to go around all of the stuff that's being stored in the warehouse, and trying to get a big picture idea of where the two cameras don't catch, they locate the area that he vanished into for so much time. I won't lie to you: they did find something sinister there. After they take some time to regroup, questions arise amongst them concerning the mysterious item and why it was left where it was to begin with, as well as why it's important to the Stalker.
It's time to talk about security again at Hi5 Studio as the idea of placing some more cameras in different blindspots that might throw the Stalker off is floating around as the team recaps everything that's been going on in previous videos, especially having to do with the case under the stairs. After going back to Red Base warehouse and checking out said LAPD safe again, Matt makes a rather disturbing discovery--which is saying something considering what's been found so far--and the team has to pivot to now deal with this new information in a safe way, for themselves and everyone else at the studio.
Things are getting serious. With all of the pieces in place, the team is now staking out in order to catch the Stalker actually breaking into Hi5 Studios, armed to the teeth with cameras that can record the crime, and some snacks to calm the nerves. From the safety of Matt's (white panel) van, the formerly-mentioned CEO and Sam keep a look out from the ground while Woods takes to the "skies" to see if he can catch a glimpse from the roof. It seems like the perfect plan...until it isn't. Of course, things aren't always what they seem with this mysterious force and even though the team prepared as much as they could for this encounter, it just wasn't enough in the end.
After the insane events of the last video, the team is reeling after what just happened and what they witnessed; the Stalker returned to Hi5 Studios and reclaimed something that once belonged to him,. Frazzled at the whole endeavor, it's a race against the clock to not only look at the only other piece of footage--from Woods' peeking perch--for clues but to also use Matt's secret weapon that he had already accounted for when it came to the safety of the Mountaineer.
The next day comes and the team is getting ready to follow the tracking device and get the car back from the clutches of the Stalker. Matt, Woods and CJ take a drive up to a very abandoned part of the city to try and map out where they last got a ping from the Mountaineer, scouting out some areas that are pretty spooky and desolate. When they finally, and safely, locate what they were looking for, the relief is cut short with a bombshell that Kevin drops on them, something that makes Matt question everything about the investigation so far.
After getting the message from Kevin at the end of the previous video, the team has to detour their original investigation in order to try and exonerate one of their own, lest they suspect that the evidence points towards his involvement in this whole mystery. While back at the studio, retracing the steps of the Stalker from the previous night, they make a discovery that does indeed clear their teammate, but opens up some more questions and also a very scary fact; they now know how the Stalker was able to get into the studio. The only comfort is that it's in THEIR possession now...
Due to the numerous posts on Reddit and Youtube bringing attention to the Mountaineer in the previous video uploaded, Matthias takes some time to explain to the audience (you) as to why exactly it was in that shot and how much footage actually gets shot at the studio on a daily basis. Then, some never-before-seen video evidence that was never intended to be shown to the public is revealed, as a way of tying those loose ends together and offering some clear answers.
It's been a rather uneventful (in a good way) few weeks at Hi5 Studios and Matt takes the downtime to go through Reddit for the first time in awhile to catch up on the communities theories, what they caught from previous videos and some good ol' memes that help the crushing feeling of being watched by an unhinged stalker. You know, fun stuff. However, there is still one nagging piece of unsolved evidence: the LAPD case. After finding a clue on Reddit that may be the key to opening it, it would seem like the long break is over and the team is diving back into the action to see what this mystery item has in store for them.
Now knowing that the interceptor has been rerouting and blocking their calls to the police all this time, it opens up a whole can of worms with the team, especially when it comes to once again theorizing about this Syphus character and his connection with where the studio is itself. After some heavy deliberation, they decide to take matters into their own hands and go forward with giving him a taste of his own medicine by calling him back. Whether or not this is the man they're looking for or if they even SHOULD be calling him, remains to be seen.
Something different this way comes and it's in a form of a possible ally--one that might have crossed paths with the Stalker before. The team is surprised one day with a mysterious email with an even more mysterious purpose: who is this new player and what info might he have that's been hidden from the team for so long? Will he give some clear answers, or just open up new ones in the wake of his presence?
Everything comes back to the LAPD case under the stairs as Matthias and Woods take their "friend's" advice and go to kill the power of the interceptor that's been rerouting their calls to the cops. However, it seems like the Stalker had a trick up his sleeve and wants to cover his tracks concerning this piece of evidence, by whatever means necessary. With the timer ticking, the two have to find a way to safely preserve the evidence they found without endangering themselves or anyone else at the studio.
The LAPD case is now gone, but it still leaves behind so many questions about those stairs in the Red Base warehouse, especially considering the wires that are still dangling from the bottom of it. Matthias and Woods take the time to fully investigate the stairs, looking over each of them one-at-a-time. In doing so, they make a discovery that answers quite a few questions concerning the Stalker's last break-in but when they delve deeper, possibly one of the most important puzzle pieces finally finds a home.
After fitting the pieces together between their new discovery--the Apple 2--and the one piece of evidence that they have had the most questions about--the emulator sent to them by "D"--it's a rush of adrenaline as Matthias and Woods grab the latter from the vault and start hardwiring it up to the old computer. Their reward for trying so hard and stomaching the cramped hidden room is a peek at some answers that they've been desperately looking for, but it also opens up some new ones, ones that they must find the answer to if they want to continue on digging deeper into this black hole.
With the computer turned on and the password accepted, the last hurtle that appears before the team is a directory ID. It then becomes a quest of looking through the evidence as well as asking the audience to see if they can help them solve this and provide some answers that maybe they didn't catch or missed from previous encounters. However, once they finally DO hack into this ancient machine, and see what's on it, it becomes of a question of if they even should have looked into this and what their findings mean for their investigations.
After receiving another email from "John Doe", the team is suddenly thrusted into what seems like a timed search in order to find some information: the promised drop that was mentioned before. Once they resolve to follow this thread and see if it's legit, it's up to them to try and search their destination for whatever this undercover cop left for them and find it quickly, before someone else does...
Once the team is back at the studio, it's time to see if "John Doe" was holding out on them and see exactly what's in the case that was left at the drop location. After looking for clues in the email, and finally popping it open, they are rewarded for their efforts with a piece of evidence that finally seems like a light at the end of the tunnel, that finally seems like a guild in order to paint a clearer picture of Syntec and Syphus. And with this knowledge, the question now becomes: what next?
There's one last program to try on the emulator: the D3B disk. Not much is known on what would be on it but the team wants to try, as per requests from the fans. Once they get it setup properly so they can screen record everything from the old computer, there's no turning back and they start to investigate. What exists on this disk isn't for the faint of heart, and it seems to not only change Hi5 Studios forever, but our team as well.
The M-Team finally resolves something that the audience has been begging for for weeks now: the key hanging off the old desk in the hidden lair under the stairs. As they go through it, they make an interesting discovery that opens up a new can of worms that has been in the studio since before they got there. However, it also provides some answers they were looking for, and perhaps a bargaining chip they can use later down the road.
After finishing up with their new find, the team decides that some attention needs to given to other parts of the hidden room under the stairs that aren't necessarily the Apple II. While searching through the remaining drawers in the desk, they come across some folders with evidence in it that not only doesn't make sense but fills the room with an overwhelming amount of dread. What they find changes the game not just for their investigation, but for them as individuals as well.
In order to take a break and step back from everything that they found in the last episode, the team dives head-first into the Reddit again to see what the fans have found, both in the way of new discoveries and hilarious distracting memes. However, relating to the former, the team makes an interesting new connection when it comes to the Syntec logo, and the speculation on what that might mean as a whole becomes front and center.
Things are starting to get real: the Hi5 Studios Stalker has officially texted the team. While his true desires still remain hidden, the back-and-forth does give the team some hints and clues to chew on for a little bit, including a surprise revelation about their otherwise quiet emulator provider: the elusive "D" and who they may really be. However, it's the bombshell that the Stalker quite literally leaves the team with that may indeed change how they view him, as well as everyone else they've come into contact with during this investigation.
After the tense back-and-forth with Nelson Syphus, the team retrieves the "gift" that said Stalker left behind for them, curious about its importance to the investigation at hand. While the item itself prompts some confusion, the team doesn't skip a beat and head into full investigation mode to see what exactly Syphus is looking for them to find. However, once they do put the pieces together, they make a rather morbid discovery, one that changes the tone of this find rather dramatically, but also prompts some deeper questions as well...
Things are starting to get more serious now. After having to listen to the tape they found in the Mountaineer, the team is very curious as to what other secrets it might be hiding. They leave it in the very capable hands of Michael Badal to try and sort through what he can, while they head over to Reddit to recap as well as see if the audience found anything odd about it from the last video. However, circling back around to the former, they do indeed uncover some secrets hidden behind the the initial sounds of torment and fear, buried deep in the background. But, even if it wasn't what they first expected to the find, it does provide a few answers that they needed.
'John Doe' is back, and he's getting a little impatient with the lack of answers from the team, and tries to get in touch with them on Google Hangouts for the third time now. The conversation itself seems to be receptive and team makes some progress in learning about a few things, including Syntec itself and a rather strange incident that occurred there many years ago. However, once the officer pushes for a drop again, the team has a choice to make: do they trust this man or do they trust the Stalker that's been tormenting them for months now? And what revelations does that officer have about D and who exactly she is?
While texting Nelson Syphus--the Hi5 Studios stalker--back in itself probably isn't a good idea, the team is desperate for some answers, especially considering how secretive the undercover officer has been. It just seems to be another back-and-forth at first, until Syphus starts to open up about one person in particular: Deborah. And the last little nugget of information he drops about the latter truly seems to make their heads spin.
After learning from Nelson Syphus that D3B may potentially be Deborah, the crew decides the only way to find out out for sure is to confront her. If Syphus is telling the truth, who can we really trust? While confronting D, they hear of the absolute date, March 5th. What is to come?
The team finally resolves that they can't stall with the undercover officer any longer, and decide to gather some of their evidence for a drop of their own: they also decide to stakeout at the location to see if they can safely catch a glimpse of the mysterious bearer of information and if he's recognizable in some shape or form. After the long ordeal, however, they are surprisingly rewarded for their cooperation with something that will allow them to push with their investigation further. But, there is a small sense of dread on what they could find and how it may connect to them even further.
A rather curious discovery starts the day for the M-Vlogs team: someone may have found the official Syntec website. They take some time to do a shallow search of the pages, seeing if anything percolates their investigator senses as well as if there's any new information that they can log away for later. However, their job is not yet complete and the new Directory ID they received from the undercover officer is next on the list to search through for clues. What they find is indeed interesting, but more importantly, it seems to connect some pieces of this mystery together--maybe a little TOO well.
The end is near, and all of the pieces seem to be falling into place, a little TOO well. The team is confront by Syphus once again, given an ultimatum and pushed as far into the corner as they can be. When they reach out to their ally in the Apple 2, not much of what it says alleviates their anxiety, but it does seem to provide the truth that they've been trying to avoid this whole time: March 5th is upon them, and they need to get ready for it.
March 5th has arrived. With the team still not knowing what to expect, all they can do is wait, wait and see what their adversary plans on doing for this prophesied day. And while at first it seems like they may have been too precautious with their stakeout, Nelson Syphus indeed returns, and with a vengeance for what he was looking for. What he leaves the team will, truly is their darkest hour.
The absolute date has come, and the team is left to pick up the pieces of what happened after a rather devastating night. They go straight to the cameras to try and catch a glimpse of what happened, hoping it can answer some of their burning questions. However, while they're looking and taking some time to look over Reddit, they remember a piece of this puzzle that they had otherwise forgotten about before and after giving it a quick listen to, it seems to change everything they thought about with the Stalker and D3B. Will this affirm who they place their trust in after all? Or does this just seem to muddy the waters even more?
In perhaps the most heart-pounding episode of the season, the team is taking a stand. After everything they've lost, after having their backs pressed against the wall, they decide that it's time to do what's right: in Deb's honor, they resolve to turn all of the evidence, every little key or vial they have left, over to the undercover officer for safe keeping. However, it won't be that easy, as Nelson Syphus--or who they've up until now THOUGHT was Nelson Syphus-- is hot on their tail. Will he succeed in trapping them in and reclaiming what he wants? Or will the team manage to make it to their goal in time?
After the anxiety of the chase with their Stalker, the team is left with one thing as a thank you from the undercover officer--a parting gift from Deb. With this small token of hope, they decide it's time to play detective once again, and see what she left behind for them. After investigating the box, they discover a new thread, leading them back into the depths of Hi5 Studios. However, once they find what they're looking for, even beyond the sense of nostalgia, whatever despair they have immediately melts away: their faith has been rewarded.
The new discovery is now clear as day for the team: they've just discovered a server under a completely different set of stairs in Hi5 Studios. But trying to figure out who, what, when, where and why will have to wait, because this is a major piece to connect them to something that has been elusive with them since they discovered it: the Syntec website. Will this possibly give them some answers, especially when it comes to the back-end that the audience found? However, nothing with Syntec is ever easy and it seems like they're not the ONLY ones to figure out the server is back online."
Welcome back to Project 863. Where we last left off, the team has decided to help Deb with her newest task for them: find the serum in every nook and cranny that it exists across the valley. And with a little help she's provided, it seems like they're off to the right track. However, they can't run from their fate and they soon find that they're not the only ones that are looking for this serum.
After losing the next set of coordinates, the team is forced to chase after the Phantom in a desperate attempt to retrieve the next vial of serum before he can get to it. While at the location, they make some interesting discoveries, not just about their new "competition", but about Deb as well. But all of that seems to pale in comparison to a new discovery that the Radiation Serum Device alerts them to: not a serum signature, but something big, and entirely different.
The team has a new plan: leak the next set of coordinates in order to corner the perpetrator and trap him: they need to get the serum back, no matter what. It's time for a good ol' fashion stakeout in order to catch this Phantom and retrieve what's there's. Will they succeed? And how far are they willing to push their friendship--their bond as subjects of Project 863--in order to catch him?
After keeping an eye on the tracker for a few days, the team decides that it's time to take action: should they travel out and see exactly where this Phantom hides out? Once they make their decision, they stakeout near the location, hoping they'll get a chance to sneak in and retrieve some of the serum he's stolen from them. But the clock is ticking until he returns again, and unfortunately, none of them really seem to fully be on the same page anymore...
After barely making it out without getting caught, the team gets an up-close and personal listen of the Phantom, curtesy of the listening device they planted in a panic. After returning to the office, they go over all of the evidence they stole from the RV, as well as move to enter in the serum they got to the RSD. But while they are, they make a shocking discover of something else unintended they picked up along the way...
And so the trio has split up, marking the first time the subjects of Project 863 are investigating separately. This time, we're following Matthias to his set of coordinates, one that's nestled in a hidden location that's not totally new for him, where he finds the serum, among some other clues to the investigation. However, it's when he returns to the studio that he realizes something terrible might have happened...
And now, we're back to Samantha and Woods, as they take their set of coordinates and set off to find the serum on their own. Once arriving at the location, even though the two are wary of each other at first, they both fall back into place easily as they investigate the old location and pick up whatever clues they can find, hopefully including some serum in the mix. But, the very last clue they come across may change everything, including where they're headed off to next...
With the knowledge that both Samantha and Woods are on their way to Syntec Location #3, and a potential trap, the clock starts ticking. It leaves Matthias with very little options, and the wave of helplessness is clear. There's not much that can be done, and so little time to play with. However, there is one group that can possibly help and it's the only light in the darkness that he can rely on: Subject 4. Will they be successful? And how far does he have to go to get the results he needs to save his friends?
Samantha and Woods have arrived at Syntec Location #3, a potential trap, and the clock starts ticking. Will Matthias make it to his friends in time to prevent the unknown? There's not much that can be done, and so little time to play with. And how far does he have to go to save his friends?
After the serum dispersed into the room, the trap was complete. The door was opened, and it left three of them to deal with the sacrifice that was made on their behalf. With Subject One passed out, they managed to break open the door and race him to the hospital. After the events at Syntec Location #3, the team finds themselves slowing down--or being forced to--in order to focus on Matthias' health. They share some laughs, catch-up and have some time to just talk with each other as friends, something they haven't been able to do for awhile. But of course, something always seems to drag them back in...
After escaping the hospital, Matt, Sam, and Woods are determined to discover what's on the tape they found in Syntec Location #3. The tape is labelled 08/06/03, what could it mean? Is this where it all started? There's only one way to find out, but in order for the team to watch it, they need to find a VHS Player. The team wasn't ready for what they uncovered on this tape... a murder. What will this new startling discovery lead to?
In an effort to live a "normal" life for the day, Matthias, Sam and Woods let Subject 4 , control their lives for the day via Discord. What they don't expect is for Subject 4 to learn about the mystery tape that they found in Syntec Location #3. Once that is leaked, Subject 4 takes over. What will the audience make them do?
After retrieving the Mountaineer from the police tow yard, it's time for a good ol' fashion forensics showdown between Matt's expensive detective gear and Woods' simple "if it ain't broke don't fix it" techniques. However, after going through the car and picking up all of the clues that they could, they make an even bigger discovery...
It's time for another overnight challenge with Hi5--Spellbound Inc. This time, after finding the map on the hood of the Mountaineer, the team decides to buck up and head to the location that was labeled "3 a.m" and see exactly what's going on. The discovery itself is shocking, but the questions it opens as well are even more disconcerting: it changes EVERYTHING.
After getting back to the safety of the studio, the team realizes they've made a grave mistake. They left behind the go pro intended to capture footage of the grave. Now that they know the phanotm was there, it seems like the only choice it to go back and get it...
After getting back to the safety of the studio after finding Wes' grave, the curiosity of what's in the box that was buried next to his grave is far too much to ignore. Inside, there are some interesting details, absolutely, but also some interesting leads concerning the murder that took place in the Mountaineer...
With some help from Subject 4, the team finally had a lead on where that mysterious key may go. But first, it's time to tell Deb about what they learned visiting Wes' grave and going through his personal belongings. Will she take it well? And will this effect her ability to help them as Project 863?
It's time to see what's truly inside the desk that belonged to Wesley, and see if it has any clues or a smoking gun to point to who killed him and why. But, as is par for the course at Syntec, not even this desk is what it seems to be and may be holding some more secrets that weren't clear at the very beginning. What will come of it? And once all is said and done, their next step might be one of the dangerous ones they've taken so far.
The moment you've all been waiting for has finally come: a face off between Project 863 and Syphus' Phantom. The time before this destined meeting is filled with an uneasy tension, but also burning questions that they want answered. Why did he come? What will he say? And most importantly, what "truth" does he have?
After the altercation with the Phantom known-as b27, the team is left with one more question: what is on the tape that he left them? When they finally decide to pop it in and take a look for themselves, the truth rocks them to their core and calls many things about what they assumed and trusted into question. But, with the culprit in hand, it's time to talk to the undercover officer, so they can end this case and end the nightmare...
While their hearts are heavy with the possible speculation that the one person they trusted may have been the murderer the whole time, the team has to force themselves to focus on finding that serum device and shutting it down for good before the Phantom can finish his plan. They stake-out the RSD and wait for the right moment to strike. Will they be able to find it in time? And even if they do, how will they be able to stop the absolute plan that Benjamin has conspired?
With a weight lifted off their shoulders after stopping what could have been a horrible situation with the serum device, the team is now left with one last task: confronting Deb and figuring out if she really did kill Wes, and for what purpose. While the hope is that she'll be straight-forward with them, and truthful, there is a large level of tension between them now. Will what she says be acceptable? And more importantly, how does this change Project 863 going forward?
Welcome back to "Project: 863"--or what once was. We start this third season off with something of the spooky variety: the paranormal has once again entered Spellbound Inc and it's up to the team to try and figure out what's going on. Will they be able to find an explanation for these strange occurrences? But beyond that, a deeper, darker question is lurking: who could possible be DOING this?
Another overnight challenge is on the horizon! The team prepares themselves with snacks, games and a good time, trying to ignore the uneasy tension at what they're going to do. Staying overnight at the studio isn't something new for some of them, but the thought of catching a ghost in action after all this time can be rather...haunting. Will they find the culprit behind the red writing on the walls? Or is it going to be another mystery that is left completely unanswered?
And welcome back to your regularly scheduled "Project 863" video. The red writing on the walls hasn't stopped at Spellbound Inc, if anything it's become a permanent fixture for the team to keep guessing about. However, today may be the day that some answers are found. After investigating some new writing in upstairs Red Base, the team sets off to Subject 4 to see if they have any ideas for what it could mean. And, when the smoke clears, what they find is shocking, while also making them question how much more of this will come up before they're done with once and for all.
And so the plot thickens. It turns out that the room with the body outline isn't finished with the team, and intends to lead them on another wild goose chase. To where? It's unclear at first, but the discovery itself finally opens up a piece of evidence that everyone's been waiting for since the team first found it. And it seems to provide some new information, hopefully to give them a light in the dark...
The team continues from where they left off, investigating the cold file they saw on the ghost device. But it really only seems to leave more questions than answers. But their day isn't quite over yet: "John Doe" finally responds and he has a proposition for Matthias. Benjamin Cobalt wants to talk, and he wants to talk NOW. It's too good of an opportunity to pass up and so the team gathers their thoughts to put together what they want to ask their old Stalker. Will it be a fruitful mission? Or will it cloud this mystery even further on who's really in control?
After the conversation from the previous episode with Benjamin Cobalt, Matthias decides to fill in the rest of the team on what transpired, and what was said between them. And after some time to digest, it's the wording about "voices" that really seems to have gotten everyone's attention. Was it the ramblings of a deranged former employee being battered by the serum? Or, more hauntingly, is there some truth in it? The team decides to investigate around the studio, paying specific attention to the walls with writing on them. And what they hear on the other side might indeed give some truth to "b27's" odd chatter back at the prison...
The team is eager to see if they can find a way to get a better idea of what the voices behind the walls are saying, but there’s only one way they can think of: enter Mike Badal and his dope high tech gear with a side of a fear of paranormal. Will they be able to convince him? And once more, what will they find listening that closely? Because sometimes, when you stare into the void, all it does is stare back…
After the deeply haunting ending of the tape that was created by freshly quit Michael Badal, the team is left stunned. Not only does it leave them further guessing as to what is haunting them, but now it opens up an entirely new line of questioning, all surrounding one of the cornerstones of the team: Woods. After taking a breather, they decide to investigate and see what these whispers have to do with him, and the rest of the team as well, hopeful for an easy answer. But as you know by now Subject 4, those don’t exist here, and the answer that the team finally finds may be too much to handle…
With Woods out of the picture for now, the team only has one thing to do: head to Reddit and consult Subject 4 to look through their theories and memes, both for a form of support and to see if they've seen anything they may have missed. They need them now more than ever...
After the disturbing discovery with the voices leading to Woods' apartment, the rest of the team is faced with a difficult decision: do they go on without a core member of their investigation team or try to convince him to come back? Everything going on at the studio seems to be following them as people now, and the likelihood of that passing without intervention gets slimmer and slimmer by the day. But it seems as if the "ghost" haunting them may have been onto something, and Woods is keeping secrets from the team...
With the spotlight now on Woods, the team is demanding an answer as to why he would steal important evidence and then attempt to quit the company. The amount of trust they once had in him is severely injured and once all the cards are out for everyone to see, they discuss amongst themselves if having him back in the known is the best thing for the investigation. But the true test comes when they are presented with a rare opportunity to learn more about "The Spire" and possibly the hauntings in Red Base. Will they be able to get the information they need? Or is this another dead end forcing them to start from square one?
It’s finally happening the team is finally going to get the opportunity to speak to that was inside of Syntec, someone that knows more of the horrors of this company than they could imagine. They prepare with questions they want to ask her, as well as a space that might help ease her fears. Will they get the information they desperately need to explain what’s happening at the studio? Or will their questions remain unanswered?
After taking some time to recover from what they had just experienced, the team is back in action. Their first order of business is to rewatch the footage with the experiment survivor and see what useful pieces of information they now have to help them figure out what’s going on with the studio. However, something of a… distraction makes itself known to the team, threatening to derail the investigation. Will they let it? Or is there more to this detour than meets the eye?
And now all they can do is wait. With no real lead to the paranormal sensors that the experiment survivor spoke of and a rouge, lifeless mannequin roaming the halls of the studio, the team is at a loss. Do they actually follow this thing or leave it be? And with whatever route they choose, will it lead them to some answers? Because 'time is ticking', and they're running out of threads to help them…
The team has finally found the sensors the that the experiment survivor was speaking of beforehand, but at what cost? With a loud noise blearing throughout the studio that sounds suspiciously like ghosts and burn marks appearing on every wall, the scene is nothing short of desperate. Has the haunting reached an unsafe peak? And if they stay to investigate what the noise truly is, will they be able to make it out unscathed?
After a long night, the team is finally faced with what has been "haunting" them the whole time, and the revelation itself turns everything on its head: it really changes how the team goes forward from here. But in this initial revelation, do more secrets hide? What questions does it open up from this new perspective? And, more importantly, can it answer one of the most dire questions of all: what is Project S.P.I.R.E?
After taking some time to look over their findings from that hidden safe, the team is left at a crossroad with something that seems like a lead-but how do they utilize it properly? After some much-needed help from Subject 4, they make their way to an old piece of tech they haven't used for quite some time and see if it lends any answers ti the Spire. And while it does reveal SOMETHING to them, it's not what they expected. Further, it's a discovery that's even worse…
After realizing that the serum bomb did indeed go off and has infected numerous people around the valley, the team is at a loss of what to do. There aren't very many people they can reach out to for help, and even so, the ones that remain don't seem to be answering back to their pleas. Just as they make one final effort, another team member is suddenly removed from the equation, which leaves more questions than answers. But that isn't the only bombshell dropped on the team, leaving them with very little to go off of except the singular question: "how?"
The experiment survivor is dead, and the perpetrator is still on the loose, more than likely exhausting themselves to silence anyone that speaks out about Syntec and its dark past. The team heads out to her last known stop, a motel room just outside town. There, they find evidence that paints a picture of someone on the run, someone always ready to escape in case someone came looking for her. While looking, they make a few discoveries concerning Syntec that seem to confirm some of their theories about the serum project. But, that isn't the only discovery they make…
After their search at the experiment survivor's motel room is finished, the team is left grappling with new information: the "x face" is really a person, and it's very possible that they have been sneaking around the studio pretending to be a ghost this whole time. How did they manage it? And for what purpose? It seems to offer more and more questions when the team is already exhausted. However, it's possible it won't be very long until some of those questions are answered…
After receiving an email from John Doe after months of no contact, the team is eager to reach out and see if he's found anything of interest. And he has: the identity of the body outline that they found in upstairs Red Base. But beyond that, he has a favor for them, one that will force them to take action quickly. But eill it all be in vain?
After returning from the empty police car with nothing but some old documents and one of their more useless pieces of evidence-the black journal-the tram knows they need to get back on track quickly, lest they get another visit from the Double X Phantom. While they go over everything they've come across, it looks at though they might have cracked the case and solved for a potential way to find the Spire. However, just as they felt as though they've come out on top, something is eager to reach out from the shadows and drag them back down with a bombshell they didn't see coming…
And now, the rest of the team is left to pick up the pieces. Matt is gone, and now Nelson has the ability to turn on the Spire at any point he wishes. It seems hopeless and the team feels as though they are at their lowest point…but even in the depths of that darkness, there is always a flicker of hope that can be held onto.
The time is now, and it's now or never. The remainder of the team drives out to track down the Spire, filled with anxiety but determination to save their friend, as well as the rest of the valley. Once they find it, it's time for them to "be the hero" like Nelson wanted. Will they succeed in getting Matt back and saving the rest of the valley from the mind control serum? Or is this the end of Project 863?
After what happened at the Spire, it's clear that team was victorious in stopping Nelson Syphus — at least, for the moment. But after being caught in how-he-describes-a "dream like state", Matthias is ready for some answers as to what's happened in the last seven months, and what the man controlling his mind did to fool not only his team but subject 4 as well for so long. He gets some of the answers he needs, even if they're not completely what he or his team expected. But, of course, this isn't over, and the team needs to be ready for when this threat finally surfaces again…
Welcome back to Project 863, now with 50% more vlogging and 100% less Nelson Syphus — hopefully. After the events of season three finding the Spire and freeing Matthias from the mind control), the team is eager to continue on with life as they knew it before, but they aren't fooling themselves this time: they're in this for the long haul, and they're be taking down Syntec one way or another. Which is why when they get a very familiar package, that spark of hope hits them … and contact from an ally may be all they need to start this mission off on a positive note, righting the wrongs from the past.
The tram is excited at the new prospect laid out before them: they may finally get to meet Deb and put a face to the person that's been trying to help them this whole time. However, they need to solve the riddle mingled in with her call the day before. Once they're on the road, confident with the answer they came to, all that's left to do is wait for her, wait to see what she has in store for them. But, Deb's warned them for good reason, and their elation is cut short once they realize that she might not be coming to see them after all…
With nothing left for them to do but move forward, the team focuses their attention on the one thing they have left that might help them: the new emulator. With the plan to try and fix the server and a new Apple II on the way as a back-up, the team is desperate to connect with Deb, hoping they're bot too late and maybe, just maybe, her death was just a ruse…
Another day, another week, another...Mountaineer finding episode? The team is surprised one morning to find that the red Mountaineer has once again appeared, sitting right where they found it the first time nearly two years ago. Once investigating, they see it looks different, much newer than the one they're come to know. Is this a sick joke someone's playing on them? Or is something else at play here?
After recovering from the deja vu that the new Mountaineer caused them, the team is eager to discuss whether or not they should go through it, and what they'll find if they do. Once they resolve to do it together, it becomes hauntingly apparent that this car, while it does share similarities to the one they already have, has some new secrets to uncover...
PSA: Please do NOT come to the studio! It's not open for tours or visits as of this point in time! Clearly, this man did not get the memo. Enter a rather convincing cosplayer playing the role of 'Scott Clarick', showing up on a rather calm day at Spellbound. What does he want? And why exactly the facade? The team has questions but it remains to be seen if this man has the answers they need.
It's shaping up to be a normal day at Spellbound as Overchill enters the party. But, as always, easy days are a rare commodity around these parts. The team discovers that the confused fan "Scott Clarick" left his briefcase near the front door. What they find inside of it has confusing implications, but also lays a seed of doubt in their minds for who they THINK he is..
After the commotion of the previous day, it couldn't possibly get any stranger concerning the fan 'Scott', right? There's no possible way that he could rattle the teams' brains anymore then he already has, right? Just keep watching...
After the bizarre reaction with Scott and the Mountaineer the day before, the team isn't wasting anytime and plans the only thing they know will probably work when dealing with unknowns: a stakeout. They wait for Scott, hopeful that he will return at the exact same time as he did the day before, hopeful that that they can get some answers out of him about what's going on, and the crime that happened to Deb. Is Scott on the right side of the law?
The time has come, the team is finally given an opportunity to see where Deb was hiding out this entire time. Will they take a chance? And if they do, are they prepared for what awaits them the minute this open that door?
The team is faced with a threat, one that no business wants to see: an eviction notice. They gather together to try and make sense of it and what the next steps are from here. Is this all coincidental? Or is there someone else at play here trying to silence them?
With the clock ticking on and the time limit from Gary getting closer, the team has a decision to make: do they crumble under the threat and cease uploading anything Syntec in order to avoid getting in trouble with the government? Or do they continue as planned? 4 p.m is coming fast and Matthias needs a plan, FAST.
After taking some time to rethink what they know about the case, it only makes sense that more information would come to change how they view the suspects and victim herself. The team mulls over who might have a much more solid motive to murder Deborah but are also surprised to find they're not the only one looking to solve this case...
The team gets another unexpected visitor, but this one, they've seen before. After months of silence, and an ever growing mystery, John Doe has returned. Now, it's time to find out where he's been hiding, and perhaps more importantly, what brought him out of the shadows.
It's time to dive deep into the subreddit to get refreshed by your theories on Project 863, but most importantly, your memes.
The team is off, a strange sense of deja vu hitting them as they find themselves on their way to another hidden Syntec location. Will they find what they're looking for this time? There's a no telling what might be lingering around these places that are lost to time. Hopefully, this location will be kinder to the team compared to the OTHER one they stumbled upon...
After returning from Syntec Location #7, the team is eager to peek inside the locker and see if they can find some clues pertaining to anything having to do with Deb's murderer. Will there be anything of use? Or is this going to be the start of another open path that leaves them with nothing but more questions than answers?
After the events of the last video, the team has decided it's time to find Scott. He seems to be the only piece of Syntec willing to gives us answers. However, something is clearly off, as he thinks we're in the year 2000. Will he still be able to help?
After a night in the vault, it's time for Scott to provide the team with more answers. Will he be able to prove his innocence? More importantly, will the team believe him?
After their run-in with Scott, the team feel as though they are getting closer and closer to the truth behind Deb's murder as each name is crossed off...or expanded upon. But a sudden surprise trip to the one place they never wanted to go back to again forces them to put a pause on their investigation. Or does it? Is there anything there that can help them? Or are they going to be left guessing another day?
