Crane Corp/G.R.I.N/Horace Hoyle
An ARG that never got off the ground?

I was on Facebook today and this page was in my recommended pages. It stuck out to me for having just 5 likes

@OfficialCraneCorp

The page links to a Vimeo video that no longer exists, but another link to a vlog about how their meds are BS is linked. Supposedly the guy in the vlog (Horace Hoyle) heard about it in the news, but obviously there's no mention of Crane Corp or GRIN in the news.

There's a comment on the Facebook page leading to GRIM, a page which seems to be the heroic organisation in this (assuming it's an ARG).

On the GRIM page there's a lot of hints that Horace Hoyle's videos might be puzzles. There's also a Vimeo link to a video called A World Of Only Smiles.

Almost everything related to this was uploaded on April 20th 2016, from both Facebook pages to Horace Hoyle's youtube vlogs. It was clearly intended to be an ARG or some kind of chaotic fiction, but it doesn't seem to have gotten off the ground. Did anyone ever come across this, hear anything about it, or hell, participate in it? I'm genuinely curious as to why this doesn't seem to have gone anywhere.
