This strange Minecraft world can hear you..

This Minecraft story follows Zachobuilds as he tries to uncover the mysteries of a Minecraft ARG called SPCTR and figure out just what lies inside. This was inspired by my love of ghost-hunting video games and I feel like Minecraft has a distinctive lack of ghost content which is crazy because there is so much you can do with that as a topic. If you are actually reading this description comment “OMG when he exploded?!” down below so we can laugh at people together.
On a more serious note, these videos are certainly different from what many people subscribed for but they have been so much fun to make and share with you guys. I don’t get paid a lot for this content since it takes much longer to produce, so if you are willing to do any of the following things below it would mean a TON to me. Even just joining the discord and being a part of the community does more than you can imagine.

[@Mujoujinsoku]

Dammit! I thought this was modded or something. I was really impressed and curious.

[@GreatFox42]

@@atlasrecordsrusdub9439 Francis was where I started to get just a little suspicious, I admit. But a mod that makes use of a player's microphone isn't really an out there idea, and I could see a voice-recognition program being embedded within. While the conversation was smoother than would be realistic, I thought maybe Zacho cut out parts of the scene where the box would say "I don't understand" like an old text adventure game, in order to preserve the atmosphere. That still seemed well within the possibility to me. One of the reasons I was able to buy into this so easily was, as weird as it is to say, was the acting. Zacho didn't ham up what was happening. He wasn't acting like someone taking the game too seriously and acting like his life was in danger, like a lot of videos of this type. He was acting like a Minecraft mod showcaser getting some fun spooks. It seems like a small difference but it really does make the entire experience seem so much more authentic. Francis probably _would_ have tipped me off if I wasn't _already_ completely and wholly convinced it was legit.
