Bah, using a masky mask in the context of OOG ARG stuff doesn't appeal to me. Slender man, yeah, that's okay. That's from something that everyone's been fanning about for a while. Masky seems pretty localized to Marble Hornets though.

All of these cryptic blogger blogs are remarkably similar - weird codes (normally binary), slowly going crazy, etc, etc. This one doesn't even bother to hide its roots in Marble Hornets and Slenderman. Not too interested.

A blog game where somebody slowly goes UNcrazy might be cool. XD

Normally, I'd be inclined to agree with you all that this is kind of one in a dozen or so, but look at the pics. He seems to have done some good work with the 'shops.

Out of boredom, I ran the binary though a translator:

The masks are different but the idea is the same. It's like the creator was thinking, "dude, Masky is a pretty cool character. I'm going to make a game where the same thing happens to my protagonist!" Though as far as we can tell, in the Marble Hornets canon Masky is pretty specific to Jay -- protagonist/antagonist.

Using a mask again to be mysterious and threatening is just chewing up the original and spitting it out like cud. If you're going to use a very similar idea, you've got to be striving to make it seem better than the original or it just falls flat.

Also, I call shenanigans that the creator might not be aware of Marble Hornets. Not bloody likely. XD

Ahhh, I totally misunderstood that. Pardon me! Thought you meant that this guy was working independently of having watched MH at all! ^_^;

I had meant it in the sense of somebody who is more clear about things, but perhaps not on the same level as the player... so I guess it would be a crazy person who turns a different shade of crazy, instead of becoming sane! XD
