[@Matt_the_pirate]

Regarding screaming for help being hallucinations (30:10), I've heard that if you hear screaming in the woods at night you should not go and try to help, as it is a common tactic for kidnappers to lure their victims. Same for encountering roadblocks in the middle of nowhere, they are often set ups for ambush. Oh, also pieces of paper left on the windshield of your car in he parking lot - they make you walk away from the driver door, giving the kidnapper an opportunity to attack.

Remy made Wilderness Survival Guide so intelligently. When confronting a bear, you stand your ground and put your arms up to appear bigger than you are, and it will deter the bear from attacking. When he says to speak sternly and back away, it's a subtle alluding to the fact that this is not a bear you're dealing with.

[@LexiconAk]

While the appear bigger is true for black bears, it doesn't work usually for anything bigger i.e. grizzly bears. So you should back up facing a grizzly if possible, and if not you need to curl into a ball and protect your head and neck with your arms. You need to hope you can either escape or last long enough for the bear to lose interest, never try to run as that might activate a bears hunting instincts.

Regarding that fermi paradox thing, "if life is so easy, someone would have came calling by now", that's assuming that all intelligent life has a similar nature to man. I find it hard to believe that an intelligent species with an evolutionary difference of millions of lightyears would have anything in common with mankind. They would be so alien to us it would probably be frightening.

[@nianichole2856]

Another thing, maybe whatever foreign otherworldly life alive could be around the same period of tech we are or lesser. We cannot really travel beyond our means today, so why would we assume another intelligent life will be calling to us? that is like you said, if they're even sentient or similar. heck, there are little areas in our observable universe that falls into the goldilocks zone, and what we know today are only afterimages millions of years behind. Whatever life that may have formed, could potentially see us the same way, an afterimage of a barren world on the outskirts of their own observable field.

[@thunderclanwarrior1253]

@@nianichole2856 If that's true, then I can imagine a sad conclusion. What if, by the time images of life or intelligent life reach Earth, it's already died on its planet or vice versa? What if we see an alien race and come out to meet it, excited that we've discovered intelligence like ours for the first time, but once we get there we realize they're gone and we're even more alone than when we started?

[@one-nu2dh]

[@crisptomato9495]

Other possibilities include us being so small compared to the aliens that we’re as insignificant and unnoticeable as bacteria is to us, or one of my favourites: aliens millions of light years away have technology that can focus light from Earth to their “eyes” but it doesn’t account for the distance the light must travel, so all they see when they look at our planet is dinosaurs and they have no idea we exist.

During the Sleep Visualization portion, the dream involving the cataclysmic explosion was directly preceded by the declaration that dreams *cannot tell the future*. It occurs to me that this might be a concerted effort to dissuade anyone from potentially thinking that an apocalypse was imminent based on that dream. It would also explain why that particular dreamer "died in their sleep". They couldn't be allowed to live for fear of someone discovering that those dreams in particular weren't just dreams; they were prophecy.

[@pixelator5312]

So I just had a thought. So we know infected can’t dream, that’s what the sleep visualizer does. It tells you if someone is infected. So assuming all of these visualizations are of infected people, what if these “dreams” are just what they’re seeing right then and there. What’s odd is humans to these infected look like mannequins, and you’ll notice that in the home invasion video people or “prey” are seen as mannequins. It’s possible these visualizations reveal that the infected can no longer see people as people, or have lost their humanity

that conclusion with the idea that there's a slowly-encroaching end of life event that just needs to catch up with our planet is honestly the most sensible thing I could've drawn from these videos. another tidbit was the idea that we're the aliens-- it's a semi-popular theory that life in itself wasn't naturally occurring within earth, but that it came from a comet that landed/crashed into earth after or around the hadean period fun stuff regardless of the existential crisis!

Gemini is the only analog horror series I've ever kept coming back to. Definitely partially due to me being a 90s child who grew up with VHS and that it doesn't just rely on extreme imagery and jumpscares, but mostly for it's mystery. It does an excellent job building mystery through seemingly unrelated videos that gradually start to connect more as the series progresses. We even get a pretty complete picture of the inciting event behind much of what we see, but it still leaves a ton of space for speculation and mystery. It's very well done.

You may have better luck browsing the tags for, "unfiction." Because an ARG is supposed to be a participatory live game where players solve steps, people have started to differentiate for immersive horror that is meant to be consumed at any time by a watcher/reader/etc, the people covering good unfiction are likely to be pretty savvy about what's coming out recently and know where the good shit is.

I've had sleep paralysis a handful of times in my life, and out of those I've seen something watching like twice. Other times were what seemed like wind, or maybe the type of ambience you'd hear in a cave maybe, But the watchers are the reason I despise sleep paralysis.

[@pingeee]

@@Ace-wd6qx ive had sleep paralysis numerous times and its usually auditory hallucinations, usually i dont see anything visual but i might from like the corner of my eye but its always the feeling of having someone standing over me or right next to me watching me and i can hear noises and breathing but i cant move its scary as fuck i always eventually snap out of it and look around my room and make sure im alone lol

This is VERY Lovecraftian Horror. The unseen horror coming from space. For a second there during the array tower thing I got chills down my spine thinking they might literally be calling for the worst of all Azathoth; Azathoth, sometimes called "The Blind Idiot God", the "Nuclear Chaos", the "Daemon Sultan", "The Deep Dark", and "The Cold One", upon Azathoth's awakening reality will come to a horrific end. When they started doing the planetary fly-bys I was like oh fuck. The monologue mutahar goes on about at the end of the video, is exactly what happens when Azathoth awakens. I love this style of horror. By far one of my favorites. Lovecraft was absolutely demented for coming up with themes like this lol.

[@atashgallagher5139]

My favorite part was the video where it is how to deal with a robbery and you learn that it is from the perspective of the monster invading. And it just made me think about the eldritch horror being on his first day on the job nervous and watching the training video over and over. MAybe they just need hugs.

You're right about sleep paralysis. I had it couple of weeks ago, and besides not being able to move and panicking, I saw a human shaped shadow standing beside my bed. When it was over I literally screamed for my husband to come help. Took me a while to recover.

The answer to the Fermi Paradox is rather simple actually. We live out in the middle of nowhere. There arent any other houses for hundreds of miles & we keep standing at the window waiting for a neighbor to drive by..... No one is gonna drive by, we are too far out of the way for everyone else in existence.

[@alwaysluvedtobeluved]

Did anyone notice how each video either showed how to help us by identifying different creatures or mutations like fake humans or other parts of a video encouraged children to feed the forest. That's because in my opinion that the name Gemini Entertainment was chosen because the Gemini is represented by twins. One being good or kind hearted and the other being mischievous or menacing or just straight up bad. I think also iris is from one of stars in the astronomy Gemini symbol. Just a thought

[@gabo9253]

[@shwingleman]

What I like about this series is how every video can be viewed on their own and still be terrifying, they only get scarier as you understand the implications of the visuals

[@MirunaNero]

so, to add some context to the Fermi Paradox: First. It's only limited to our galaxy.. Intergalactic travel and communication is physically impossible. Space expands faster than the speed of light, the speed limit of the universe. If you were to travel from one galaxy to another you would be forever lost in an ever expanding void from which you have zero chance of escape. There's some EXTREMELY minor exceptions, but still the Fermi Paradox *only applies to our galaxy*. Second, the Fermi Paradox does not necessarily account for intelligent, sapient life. Only life in general. As we've seen on earth, sapient, intelligent life capable of even understanding the concept of space is exceedingly rare (the only example being us, homo sapiens) so while life may not be rare, intelligent life most certainly is and that search is completely limited to our own galaxy which sorta makes the fermi paradox moot Third. It takes incredibly long periods of time for life in general to crop up and even longer for said life to evolve into something like us. It takes literal billions of years for life to get as complicated as it is on earth, and the universe has only been calm enough for life to crop up for about half of its existence. Moreover, given intelligent life is already very very rare as it is, it's likely that any potential intelligent life in the milky way simply hasn't had the chance to advance to the point of intra-galactic travel and communication Fourth. The idea that there's tons of planets capable of hosting life is misleading. It needs to meet extremely specific conditions to not only be hospitable but to spawn life at all. Currently our best understanding of the source of life is the idea of a primordial soup. Essentially you need the right chemicals swirling around in the same space until it perfectly meets the conditions to create a simple, self replicating single celled organism. Moreover, planets need a plethora of different conditions to host life, and one of them is being in-between the spiral arms of the galaxy not in them. The spirals are where the majority of planets exist, they're incredibly dangerous and chaotic, completely inhospitable to life but it's where 80% of the planets in the galaxy are. So so far our search for life is limited to 20% of the planets in the solar system, which not only have to be capable of hosting life but also need to be capable of *spawning* life the biggest take away though is that if we were to find remains of intelligent, sapient alien life that is no longer around the idea of proposes of a "great filter" is very real. The more examples we find of this, the bigger the threat. This only applies if the life is more advanced than us though. If it's less advanced it's safe to say we have passed the great filter, or is inconclusive whether this applies overall moreover, if we don't find intelligent, sapient life the great filter is uncertain. Or we do but not the remains of it (ie intelligent sapient life thats still around) it's likely that the great filter is less of a concern than we thought

I just love how Muta gets so invested into those Analog Horror documentaries like he lives in their universe and all :D

[@The-Singularity-X01]

When you think about it, Cosmic Horror like this can really only work in a universe like ours or with Humanity in a similar position to 'us' today. The instant you get civilizations capable of popping planets like balloons or making stars and galaxies on whim, well they've surpassed much of these 'Cosmic Horror' entities by quite the margin.

[@bestbrostar]

Gemini Homes Entertainment is one of my favorite ARGs with how in-depth it goes, especially with the extra touch of Lovecraftian cosmic horror.

[@drvinylscratch1936]

I love how with the right lighting as you watch the videos your own reflection starts to blend in and adds to the creepiness. I was watching around 2pm on a sunny day with the window open on my bed and the amount of times I saw my own reflection and freaked out was a lot

After taking a sneak peek on T3rror's video on analog horror, I really wanted to watch it, but I was honestly way too scared. I've seen The Walten Files, and that's INCREDIBLY terrifying, but Gemini looks too real for me to handle, even ironically on the fact that there's an alien invasion in the story. Thanks for looking at this, Mutahar. I now have someone to watch this with.

[@nunpho]

I love this stuff 😆. Idk if Muta will see this but skinwalkers are part of native American lore. The underwater photo of the woodcrawler reminded me of a super creepy creature. Look up the bigfin squid, it's bloody terrifying. They live in the deep ocean and have extremely long tentacles.

[@v.velanga9608]

I've been thinking if I should comment this or not, but here we go. I am a chemist, and worked with astrobiology for a while. One of the projects I did with a Inorganic Professor, was to think of life being created outside Earth, and I want to say, there are a couple of things you need to consider for this, to which I shall describe: First thing abou the planets you said, is that you need to look for an Atmosphere, without it, not only the variation of temperature would be too great for the beings to survive, but it the lack of it makes it not sustain gases, which is a problem. Speaking of gases, now you need to look at the pressure of the planet. Carbon has a specific pressure to which is able to form long bonds, too less you will only sustain small molecules such as CO2, and too much the thing will be only making diamonds, which is not a sustainable molecular structure for a cell or life itself. I believe Neptune or Uranus rain diamonds because of the great pressure it lives in. So ok, maybe Carbon won't work, what about other elements? Well, to follow the similar properties (since many elements cannot sustain life because of its properties), Silicon should be our target as another atom that can sustain life, ok, but we encounter another problem, the bond of silicon and oxygen is very strong, to the point that it does not make a tissue, but oxidizes completely, making SiO2 (sand). So you are looking for a planet without oxygen in it's atmosphere. What about Sulfur? It could work, but the problem is that it does not make Hydrogen bonds, so such a thing as DNA is not possible to be made. Not to speak of other elements, Iron, Nitrogen and many others that make life itself possible, not to mention, for a Sulfur-Silicon-Phosphor (substitute for Nitrogen) life, you would need a huge amount of pressure on the planet which would favor the creation of Crystal net instead of a tissue, but I will talk about it in my next point. Now you may say: "But Mutha, what if life is nothing like life on Earth? What if the genetic code can work in a way other than DNA?" Well, that is one thing that I cannot refute. We only know life with DNA, tissue, organs and glands, and maybe life outside can have other structures, but I will tell you this: If a creature made of Silicon on a huge atmospheric pressure came here, it would die instantly. Our atmosphere is too toxic for it, not only the lack of pressure would make the creature explode. Same thing for the creatures from the abyss you said in the beginning, if a creature can live in a pressure of 500 atm (which should be about right on the Mariana Trench), if you take it to the surface, it could not live. You can see this same pattern with fish, if you fish one on 20 meters deep, it will get very "dizzy" and can die very easily, since surface has one third of the pressure than where it lives. So the only ones that have the capability of invasion, are the ones in planets very similar to ours, which I don't recall exactly, but I do believe it there were 20 only in a very big radius of us, and most are very far away, which you now turn to problems like the movie with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrance: Too much time, too less food for making a trip this big.
