 		[TRAILHEAD] Egregore
One of the most unique series this past year.
Found this under the recommended channels of another ARG i'm following.

The premise behind this is incredibly unique and the editing style to add is impressive.

its got several entries out so i'm guessing its in full swing.

 		Nice find! I watched the first couple of videos and it definitely shows a lot of potential. Something weird I noticed about the first video though is that after each number every other word corresponding with that number was colored purple. I took a screenshot to show you what I'm talking about:



I doubt it means anything, but I thought it was interesting. It also does this for the other numbers mentioned in the video.

 		Sorry about the double-post, but I just caught up on this series today all the way through, and I think that this is honestly one of the most unique/creative series I've seen within the past year. As I was watching, I started to notice really small & interesting details throughout that I figure I'd share here, as well as a theory I have. First, some stuff I noticed.

Text Arrangement Theory:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
All of the "update" videos arrangement of text are really weird. In the first video it was askew, in "videolog_update", it was scattered all over the screen, and in "videolog_downspiral", the text was written backwards. This is going a bit out on a limb here, but I think that the text's arrangement could possibly represent the character's state of mind? Like, in the first video, it was tilted maybe to represent some kind of confusion, the second video the text could be scattered to show possible panic/agoraphobia, and in the third video judging by how he was freaking out and saying stuff like "I want to die and feel pain again" and stuff like that, I think that the text may have been backwards to represent a completely backwards way of thinking? Again, it's just a theory. It's probably nothing, but I thought it was still interesting.


Colored Distortion Theory:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Something else I noticed which is a bit more obvious than the last one, is that in both "Recording #4" and "Recording #11", when a knock can be heard at the door, in both instances the camera had a colorized distortion. In "Recording #4", the distortion was red, and then in the next video the room's walls had turned red. In "Recording #11", the distortion at the end was green, and in "videolog_downspiral", the character mentions that the room is now green.


Plot Theory:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I honestly have no proof for this part, so this is more or less just assumptions I'm making based on the footage that's been uploaded so far. I think that the tape was recorded by a serial killer working with slendy, and it's being shown to "Venus", because he, too, worked with this killer, or in some way has a relation to the Slender Man. In "videolog_downspiral", Venus mentions that he has a wife and daughter, both of which died because of his own actions. I think that he was possibly an accomplice to this killer, or even possibly the killer himself, which would explain the clips/frames of dead bodies in a few of the videos.


Again, all just THEORIES. I don't actually know if any of them are true, but regardless there seems to be a lot of hidden subtext in this series on top of it having an overall really creepy atmosphere and unique style.

 		All of this channel's videos seem to be deleted or set to private, which is a shame because it seemed like a series with some cool potential. I was looking forward to seeing what happened next.

That's a shame, it was really neat.
