 		The title of the channel is "apex," meaning summit or highest point, and then Armenian. Google Translate tells me it means "predatory." Interesting.

 		So, there's one business location and name clearly shown in this video. A quick search shows there's only one location for this place, so figuring out where this video is shot is pretty straightforward.

"Coincidently" the name of the person who started this thread is the same as the name of this business.

This looks less like an ARG to me than an advertisement for a restaurant.

 		Most good ARGs, such as I Love Bees, are made for advertisement purposes. It doesn't really matter anyways, just play the game once more things come out.

EDIT: They Watch is pretty cool too.

I'm sorry Hunter, you are VERY wrong. While some of the more well known ARGs are ad camps, MOST OF THE GOOD ONES were grass root games. Period. Don't confuse "good" and "well known to a mass audience because it was a functional publicity machine" please.

But I digress...

(ETA: interesting that you edited your post right before I posted mine so it doesn't show up as edited... For the record, I did not alter hunter's quote}

 		Oh man.... you are in for a world of trouble around here with an opinion like that...

Anyway, I'm going to stop derailing this thread.


This doesn't look like an ad camp for that business so much as yet another artsy video by someone who doesn't understand the difference between art videos and GAMING. Someone figure out of this is a slendy mess so I can move it to the abyss....

The description is hexadecimal, and translates to "Friend" backwards.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The puppet is saying stuff I can't make it all out but for part of it I pretty sure she is saying "we are one" and she might be saying "the lion is here kids." Also, the bag have a drawing of a lion on it 16-19 seconds in which it does not have at the start.
Also since friend is backward maybe you might have to play the video backwards to get info?
Update:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So I played it backward in Garage band I can not make out all of it but the first words are "hello how are you"

The lion is here kids now (?) He is our friend and he is always here. We are a family, we are one.

Always prowling in his city (sleep?), the lion is (feels?) important to us. Ask questions only when told. We are one.

 		What I still don't understand is 2 things:
(1)Why the warning in the first video?
(2)Why is friends backward in the second?

 		Lions seem to be an important theme.
