Project Earth: The Strange Buzzfeed Parody Series - Inside A Mind

Project Earth only started this year following an ordinary, average, boring man named, Gregg Sellars. He is reacting to different versions of himself as a company called, TerrANova Industries, claim to have discovered the Multiverse. But as the series continues. There's clearly something far worse going on here...
There's also a website for TerrANova Industries. On this site gives us the release dates for all future episodes as well as a comic book titled, Locked Below. It's about a man named, Berry, trapped in a small room with no windows or doors. He has the same story every 24 hours as a countdown looms above his head. That is until the characters become self aware and realise they're living the same day over and over again and attempt to break free.
Watch Project Earth on the ‪@BerrysOffice‬ KZbin channel.

Even if you ignore the rest of the ARG, "Locked Below" is such a genius concept

[@lestertjester4140]

The art is solid too. It’s a good read. I wonder if there is a print version.

[@gl1tchygreml1n]

Yeah, the comic alone is fascinating to me! ^^

[@EGRJ]

Seems like something Remedy Entertainment would come up with.

[@RoRoGFoodie]

If you like that concept I'd HIGHLY recommend the anime 'Princess Tutu', very similar plot and excellent quality storytelling

[@Sasu123456789x1]

@@RoRoGFoodie Omg Princess Tutu, I remember that anime. Definitely a good recommendation 👍

[@fuchsfarben]

Something I find is important is how each alternate version of Greg is so grandiose and exciting. As if they are purposely trying to tear him down, "look how cool it would be to be in that universe!" It's like a cult tearing new recruits down to suck them in by promising to give them a better future. Trying to convert him to willingly get transferred into another timeline. Same with the friend and the wife. Tom just wanted to see himself have great hair but suddenly he is the Vice President, while Christine finds proof for ghosts.

My personal theory is that, the I.C.E machines are probably not actually machines that allow you to view alternate realities, but rather machines that create said alternate realities. The story that Berry's writing could easily be some sort of alternate reality, stuck in medieval times that he's forced to keep the same over and over again for the sake of a TerraNova experiment. The TV could work similarly, creating these realities in the form of documentaries about a person's life in them.

[@michellechair]

that's plausible. and the characters gaining sentience and going against the storyline may be a part of the reason why the multiverse is collapsing in the first place.

[@kingoftheclams2887]

Wouldn't a reality created just to be a documentary just be a regular story if you can't go there?

[@BoredPodcaster]

More likely it's the TYPE of machine that dictates how they interact with the multiverse. The typewriter creates realities, the TV views realities. I'd wager something like a sliding door could be a method to traverse those realities, or perhaps a car. I'd be interested to see if that's the case.

From the comic and the struggle between the writer and the characters, it sounds to me that timelines are supposed to be lineal and not have any branches. I wonder if that's why the multiverse is collapsing.

I'm so surprised that when they saw like ghosts and aliens were real in the other multiverses that they didn't freak out.

I would be like wait wait wait, aliens ARE REAL??? lol

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

You can make an argument either way. They're centering it on Gregg and his life, but the fact of the matter is that none of those changes can reasonably be expected to have such results unless Gregg is the main character of reality. They may be going down that route, with Gregg unwittingly having profound influence over the world, but I'd imagine that it could just as easily be that the company is leaving out significant details about the things outside of Gregg's influence that needed to be changed in order to make these fantasies possible. I feel like Gregg and the egg imagery does imply something about him, but whether it's a case of someone having it out for him, or him being significant in other regards, isn't clear.

[@james1313ish]

The bland main character who has almost nothing going for them but had so many goals and dreams that they’ve become the perfect alternate reality test dummy is very reminiscent of Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. It’s cool to see that concept taken in a different direction.

Well that comic book sounds very Alan Wake. In general a lot of the concepts are very similar to some in that series of games. We got the parallel universes and OOPs from Control, the whole writer writing a story into reality from Alan Wake. In Quantum Break time is collapsing which has some similarities to here the multiverse collapsing etc. But there's also a ton of things that reference other series so might just be a coincidence and not a direct inspiration.

[@godai6203]

[@sophiewebb2887]

I think there are clear signs that TerraNova is manipulating what happens in these alternate realities. I noticed this mostly in the 2nd episode (the one with Tom) where Gregg's father dies under 'mysterious circumstances' and the age to run for presidency is lowered specifically for Gregg.

[@alphnightshade321]

So I had a bit of a theory of my own I'd like to share. Specifically, it's about the 'He' figure we've seen, the man with his back turned. My thought about this is: if the multiverse is collapsing, and Greg is the prominent tester- singled out-what if 'He' is an amalgamation of all the Multiverse's Gregs? To make it more simple for me, I will refer to 'Him' as Greg Prime. Greg Prime is essentially causing the Multiverse to collapse, i assume to become a godlike figure (perhaps reborn as per the egg imagery?), but there's one universe's Greg that is innately refusing to join, which is our protagonist. Heck, that voice we hear in Episode Zero might be an incomplete Greg Prime, as the scientist wonders what they will do with this Greg. So, Greg Prime, over these formulated, not yet collapsed universes is trying to get to Greg, convince him that his life would be so much better if he joined the mass that is Greg Prime, in a very subtle way. And once he DOES get Greg to join, well, we don't exactly know what he will do then, but it certainly won't be good. But that's my two cents, I might be completley off, feel free to correct any mistakes I may have made.
