It's so crazy that all these other spooky KZbinrs have been making out Kanye Quest as the most scariest computer cult alive thing ever, and then you guys drop in and actually find that the game and Asencionism were just HSC projects. Bravo lads, and much love to Clara and Ballarat Nick for being the biggest legends ever. You've all made my keys soaked

Hahaha! Absolutely!

I've missed seeing this kind of well produced mini-series like content on youtube, seems like most people aren't making things like this anymore, but you guys really nailed it. I really hope you guys keep it up and find another project or make another show like this. This is the best youtube series I have seen in probably 5 years.

We've been waiting 5 weeks to say this... GROUSE HOUSE: WE FOUND YEEZUS! A huge thank you to Cameron James and Alexei Toliopoulos for taking us all on this wild journey!

i think it's so poetic that you guys chose the matrix as the theme for this series considering how it to was made as a metaphor for the trans experience, can't wait to see what goes on next

[@Bendakker]

*credits roll* We see Clara return to her house, but the light switches don’t work. A shadowy figure sits on her couch in the dark. ‘"I am Phenix". You think you're the only supervillain in the world? Ms. Hope, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don’t know it yet.’ The figure stands and steps into the light - we see Todd Noy, with the blood of stray dogs on his knuckles. ‘I’m here to talk to you about the Swarmer Initiative.’ *fade to black, then text appears* PHENIX WILL RETURN

[@iamcameronjames]

😂😂😂😂 this is amazing

[@draculactica]

okay, the first shot of clara was instantly iconic. i hope to one day also be discovered on a stage under lights, holding a gibson sg and a bow with an attached soundboard

[@SoManySpiderWebs]

I love that the Wikipedia article for the game has been updated to include these guys. Great series

[@Dunago]

As someone who was massively involved as a player (Ascend Disciple) with the weird ARG that was going with this in the background shortly after Kanye Quest got big from the initial discovery of the secret I'm so happy to finally find out who was more or less behind it all. My jaw dropped when I saw Orlowski because I saw him a lot when playing the late stages of the game. I do wish I could ask Clara if she and Orlowski were the ones running that game fully or if they had any help because some stages of it were truly weird and difficult to decipher, but it is an awesome amount of closure for a weird thing that sort of consumed my life for a couple months years and years ago.

[@iamcameronjames]

Yeah it was just the two of them! She’s posted some pics of the ARG puzzles and other things on her Instagram. So cool.

[@Dunago]

@clara hope wow so glad you responded! I remember going crazy trying to figure out who sid culpa and abby davies were. I gotta say I loved the creepy stories that would play on that radio station but I think the storm game was the craziest part. Was there ever meant to be an "end game"? I always felt like it sort of tapered off. But I suppose its difficult to continue coming up with crazy ideas like that. I swear I would probably talk your ear off about this if I could just asking questions about it all, we all never knew if it was actually real or not.

[@Dunago]

I would lie awake at night just wishing I could get a clear answer in my emails 🤣. So glad to see you're doing well in your life and this has been absolutely wild to see how "easily" these two guys figured it all out after seeing so many youtubers come to crazy or incomplete conclusions on this. You're amazingly creative dont let anyone hold you back, thanks for an awesome game Clara!

[@thenashus4]

It was honestly a little heartbreaking seeing you guys finally "packing away the cheezels" as they say.

[@jockohomosexual]

Massive shout outs to Valyri, Ballarat Nick and Clara. If the suspects weren't this entertaining and creative people. I'm sure we wouldn't be here today. And of course Alexie and Cam for taking us down the rabbit hole! Incredible work

[@Corswain]

And thanks Mark for pissin in me sink

[@asdfreii]

And for Alexie and Cam for covering these interesting people in such a respectful way. We can see them as real humans because of the dignity they presented them with

[@shanerubans1429]

That was more unexpectedly emotional than I was... expecting. Great job to all involved, I feel like this weird chapter in my life can now be closed.

[@StonkyStuff]

What a fucking phenomenal finale. THIS is what online content is all about - the ability to produce a docu-series on a niche subject matter that effortlessly blends comedy and drama. Hats off to everyone involved with this project, I'm genuinely floored by it

[@iamcameronjames]

Thanks for watching!

[@veritywinter1538]

What a beautiful conclusion. And what a beautiful person Clara is! Thanks gents - absolutely incredible series.

[@Sleeper_6875]

@Clara Hope woah!!

[@Littlefirefilm]

Pretty late to this I know... But it's still amazing. Just amazing. Everything about this doco is brilliant. But putting that aside for just a moment, I have a pretty interesting story about this whole thing... My dad got a text about a month ago, it was from a person in his contacts called "Nick Lyons", but he didn't remember a person by that name. The person was asking for a job reference, and underneath it was signed as "Clara Hope", which made the whole thing even stranger. Dad thought it must be some kind of scam, so he never answered. Fast forward to tonight, and I just told him about this show. He brought up the text again and my mind was blown. I brought up the final episode and showed dad Clara Hope in the final episode when they interview them and dad couldn't believe it. Dad was one of their Uni lecturers, at the peak of Kayne Quest's popularity, and he had absolutely no idea. He's since responded and apologized for not initially remembering them, and the two have reconnected. So obviously I'm quite shocked by my personal connection to such an incredible story. But the comedic mastery in this series is still insane. I've honestly never seen anything quite like it. It seems Grouse House are paving the way for a lot of really interesting Australian comedians and filmmakers to create some really unique projects. Great to see it!

[@dannyk5620]

Guys it’s me I’m Kanye quest. Sorry I didn’t reply to your calls.

[@Tracequaza]

i can't believe what I've just watched, not what I was expecting at all. I mean this series didn't really explain everything very well, like some of the concepts were explained in a very generalised way and skimmed over, but to be honest it didn't need to because it explained exactly enough for the story and comedy to work, and it's amazing that the actual video that solves this mystery was something really really funny and not just an amateur investigation series with creepy music, and you didn't even parody that style or anything. multiple times in every video i was laughing out loud and it's 2am. i found this while procrastinating and watching some hour long video in the above style i previously mentioned feeling really burnt out about not just what i was procrastinating on but also the procrastination itself, and someone in the comments recommended this video since the topic came up briefly. I opened it for later and I'm really glad I watched this after I'd completed what I was meant to be doing. you guys have made something really cool here and i'm giving everyone involved an A+, it's amazing that THIS is where i find one of the funniest things i've seen in a while, and the amount of passionate artists in this series (including the poor comedians) is just so inspiring. i loved it, and i hope this gets a lot more views... thank you to cam, alexei, clara, nick lyons, everyone else involved, this seriously has made my month

[@nothingbutstaticUK]

incredible job. You guys absolutely killed it.

[@NinjaDimes]

Can't believe you actually found the legit creator. You put those other game theorists to shame honestly, they really didn't research things well nor follow through. You guys were super informative and funny, and you got to the truth behind it. You deserve way more hits. I have no friends but I'll try to get the word out, the series was great and I hope you do more!

[@aaronvanpelt3000]

It was wonderful meeting Clara! It's the people like her and you guys, who make wonderful art for us all to enjoy, that give me some respite in this wet and wild world. Thank you all! You REALLY did it again, boys

[@GinoZump]

11:43 I actually really liked the score in this part. the music sounds ominous for a moment like there's something ominous and then it turns triumphant.

[@danielbachiu]

k that person tailgating you guys right after pulling out of the expensive car place was STRESSFUL

[@SomePersonOnYoutube]

A small project snowballs into something bigger than the original creation itself. A highschool project turned into one of the great internet mysteries of the 2010s. The butterfly effect is a beautiful phenominon. What a saga, what an ending. We finally got the closure we needed.

[@mastterby]

I can’t get over how satisfying the ending was! Clara seems like such a wonderful person as well! Amazing work! 🎉

[@KorriTimigan]

I'll be honest, based on the first few episodes I had absolutely no faith you'd actually get to the bottom of this, but I was along for the ride since it was so much fun. Yet here we are, you've answered an internet mystery, and found the answers for which people have been searching for years. Well done, boys! Haven't you done well!

hands down one of the best series I have watched in a while - Can't wait to see Cam and Alexei reach Louis Theroux level documentary status and then go viral with a silly rap they did in one of their episodes as is the way of the funny interviewer

[@iamcameronjames]

My money don’t jiggle jiggle

[@millerwrightt]

I followed threads on ascensionism on the unfiction forum years ago, before they shut down. I remember people finding references in sonic dreams collection as well. Awesome to finally know that that was game jacking. Thank you guys for finally getting us closure!

[@GrouseHouseTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@frogbirds]

I won't lie I didn't actually expect you to find her, given how many people tried and failed. Major kudos, not only did you do smth no one else seemed to but you made it an entertaining journey!!

[@latefallentv8961]

This serious was incredible, I've been following Kanye Quest and the hunt for the creator for literally years at this point so to find a conclusion feels both amazing and sad. If anything it has introduced us to Clara and her work, she's truly an artist.

[@offtheleashman]

having never heard of kanye quest or ascensionism i was so surprised how invested i got in this show. this is the best thing on grouse house

[@imtiredofitallmakeitstop]

Could you elaborate? I found a game called "Attacking Zegeta" but im not sure

Oh my god, of course it was a school project this whole time! Great job fellas. Very excited to get unreasonably sucked into what ever mystery comes next.

[@jon_franklin]

This was an amazing series. It's so funny how much of this game was in Australia! Hope to see another series like it at some point. Maybe a follow-up QnA? I'd be very curious about how you'd end it if Clara didn't want to come forward

[@justinshaw9351]

That was amazing. Legit there’s something in my eye. Great work guyz

[@evelyn7571]

One of my favourite things about this is that you made a series themed on The Matrix, and then, exactly like The Matrix, the deeper into it you went, the more it turned out to all be trans as fuck. It worked out perfectly! I love that we had two different episodes about cool creative trans people, and the way you handled that with so much care and respect when it probably wasn't what you were expecting. Incredible work! Side note, I hope we get to see or hear longer versions of some of these interviews at some point, the longer format allowing for less heavily edited conversions is the biggest thing I really miss from Finding Drago/Desperado. Any chance you'd release them in podcast form?

[@evelyn7571]

Also, I can't wait for the behind the scenes podcast for your next series where you'll presumably get Clara to interview you.

[@iamcameronjames]

The plan was always to release longer cuts of the interviews, but once you’ve chopped it down to the most essential story/funny elements it’s hard to listen back to the longer ones. Next project hopefully we’ll have more budget & less time constraints to allow for longer edits!

[@2tri749]
