Cave of Shadows Explained: Part 2

Cave of Shadows Explained: Part 2

Intro

Welcome back, everybody. It's Sandra again. Today we are doing Cave of Shadows Explained Part 2. Now let's look at The Notes we have today. And if you have not read Cave of Shadows Explained: Part 1 Click Here: https://thesystemexplained.blogspot.com/2017/07/cave-of-shadows-explained-part-1.html. If you did let's keep going.
Some Notes So Far:
-The Overwatcher: We almost know nothing about him. The only thing we do know about him is that it seems he runs these broadcasts, he also seems to be described as a mission in some way. It's also very clear that the encrypted message we saw during the weather forecast, we're trying very hard to be hidden from the Overwatcher. He seems to be presented as a villain. We also know he stopped watching Broadcast #1 since we were told that.
-The "He" who is watching: We also almost know nothing about him. We can say he is a male and that for some reason he is watching.
-The guy who wrote the encrypted message that we saw during the weather forecast: This is the guy who knows that the Overwatcher stopped watching the broadcast and for some reason wants to communicate to us privately.
-The reason why the first episode of Mr. Giraffe is called "What's This": We don't know why it's called "What's This". We just know it's called "What's This".

Okay, Now let's move on.

The Third Video

The third video of Cave of Shadows is called Unforeseen Delay. This video is just apologizing that there was a delay for broadcast #2 but assures us that it will be posted on the 1st of November however, strangely enough, the second broadcast was actually uploaded on December 19th. That's strange, I wonder why. Okay, let's keep going.

The Fourth Video

The scheduled segments for broadcast number 2 are the same as broadcast number 1 except ??? and closing remarks are removed and a few new segments are added which are called Blank Room and a string of base64 which translates to Orientation and The System Fall Celebration Live. The Broadcast begins the special announcement from The Overwatcher. This shows Footage of a sewer drain with distorted noise in the background. Split-second text appears once again reading "He Sees All". Who sees all? Again, we don't know. So, let's keep on going. The You Know More then begins. The episode of You Know More is a lot less interesting than the last one. It just shows footage of a lion attacking a deer. After the lion attack, the next segment which is Mr. Giraffe begins. This episode is called Nature Walk. This episode depicts Mr. Giraffe taking a walk and at the beginning, he tells the viewers his parents told him to watch out for strangers. He then finds a playground and starts swinging on a swing. At this point, the video cuts to a clip of what looks like tree bark and at the bottom left corner of the screen, we see text that says forgotten. After this, we're shown a transition telling us that Mr. Giraffe was having so much fun, that he forgets to look out for strangers and this mistake cost him. Mr. Giraffe is then shown with a bloody stick impaling his head which concludes the episode. Next up is the weather forecast segment but for some reason instead of showing us the weather forecast, it instead shows us a screen saying "Removed by The Overwatcher due to Material Under Investigation". It could be possible that this segment was redacted by The Overwatcher because he discovered the encrypted message in the last weather forecast and wanted to pervert something like that from ever happening again. The Next segment is one of the new ones and it's fairly interesting. It's called "Blank Room With Xavier". Xavier is narrating over this and explains to us that in this segment, he will invite a viewer to The System to participate in an activity called "Somnum". Somnum means Sleep in Latin by the way. At this point, we're shown a video of someone standing in their bedroom. Xavier just tells the person to go over to the bed and once the person lays down, Xavier just starts to tell us what the person is doing but several times Xavier's voice becomes very distorted. Eventually, we're notified that the broadcast is having technical difficulties and then the segment ends. The Next Segment is yet again another episode of Relaxation. This one just shows some videos that take place at Disneyland and shows us more words of encouragement such as "You are important" and "You are valued" very much like the last segment of Relaxation. The next segment which is called Orientation just shows someone walking in at night with occasional cuts to a shower. There are many stings of base64 in this video. They translate to "Listen Closely", "Can You Hear It?" "There are voices in the water.", "He is watching you" and last but not least "He Is Sees Everything". Okay so now we know that there are voices in the water we hear and the words and "He is watching you" actually means "He is watching you guys". So, know it's clear some male is watching us and we don't know who he is or why he is watching us. We also know that He is Sees Everything. Whatever that means. So, let's keep going. At one point in the segment, we're shown a person wearing a mask with X's over the eyes. This might be The Overwatcher. The final segment of the second broadcast is The System Fall Celebration Live. The Segment begins by saying "And now for the fall celebration". The rest is redacted and replaced with a message saying "Removed by The Overwatcher due to Sensitive Material". It's unknown why this was removed. The Broadcast ends with the viewers being thanked again and then we are shown text for a split second that reads "He Sees Everything". Who sees Everything? We don't know yet, so let's keep going. After this, we are shown a clip of the playground that Mr. Giraffe was filmed at along with another string of base64 that translates to this web address: http://caveofshadows.weebly.com/experience_1.html. This website will lead you to a download of a game called Experience 1. Let's stop here and Do the Notes.
Notes So Far:
-The Overwatcher: We almost know nothing about him. The only thing we do know about him is that it seems he runs these broadcasts, he also seems to be described as a mission in some way. It's also very clear that the encrypted message we saw during the weather forecast, we're trying very hard to be hidden from the Overwatcher. He seems to be presented as a villain. We also know he stopped watching Broadcast #1 since we were told that. It is possible for him to be the person wearing the mask with X's over the eyes.
-The "He" who is watching: We also almost know nothing about him. We can say he is a male and that for some reason he is watching.
-The guy who wrote the encrypted message that we saw during the weather forecast: This is the guy who I said knows that the Overwatcher stopped watching the broadcast and for some reason wants to communicate to us privately.
-The reason why the first episode of Mr. Giraffe is called "What's This": We don't know why it's called "What's This". We just know it's called "What's This".


-The "He" who sees all: Again, we know nothing about him except for the fact he sees all.
-The voices in the water: This might something we need, here.
-The "He" who is watching us: We can also say he is male and that for some reason he is watching us. We also know He is Sees Everything.
-The person wearing the mask with X's over the eyes: We know nothing about this character. It is possible he is The Overwatcher. We can also assume this is a male.
-The "He" who sees everything: The only thing we do know about him is that he sees everything. And it's possible he's also the "He" who sees all.

Cave of Shadows Explained: Part 1

Cave of Shadows Explained

Intro of Cave of Shadows

Cave of Shadows is a Youtube channel and the first channel in the ARG called The System. We are going be explaining all of the entire channel and just the entire channel itself. We are starting from the first to the end. So, that is it.

Explaining The First Video

The first named Welcome to Cave of Shadows is just an intro video. Okay, let's keep going.

Explaining The Second One

The segments of this video titled Broadcast #1 are:
1. Introduction and a word from The Overwatcher
2. You Know More
3. Mr. Giraffe
4. Weather Forecast
5.Relaxation
6.???
And last, but not least Closing Remarks.
Now there's a question and that is "Who is the Overwatcher?" We don't know yet, so let's keep on going. Now the Intro itself is just thanking us for watching the broadcast and ends by saying "To show our gratitude we will now show you this." We're then shown footage of a pixelated forest and eventually, the words he is watching is shown for a split second. Who is he? We don't know yet so let's keep going. After this, the second segment of the video begins. For this segment, they just show us a clip from a documentary about a man named Chang Zhu Ping who is born with an undeveloped twin which causes his face to be horribly disfigured. It does end happily though as Chang does end up getting surgery to make his face a lot more normal than it did before. The next segment is Mr. Giraffe and the first episode of this is called What's This? The Mr. Giraffe show just shows a giraffe puppet doing something while the dialogue first character appears on the screen. The episode is very straight forward. All that happens is that Mr. Giraffe ends up playing with scissors and by accident kills himself and then the episode ends. The segment that follows Mr. Giraffe is the Weather Forecast. This segment literally repeats the same weather forecast on the screen at 9 times but then it cuts off and then we're shown the following text which is encrypted in base64. Once you translate it, it says
"Hey, it's me. I checked, the Overwatcher stopped watching the broadcast. I need to confirm that this is a good way to communicate privately. We need to wait until the next broadcast to relay any serious information." So who ever wrote that text knows that the Overwatcher stopped watching the broadcast and for some reason wants to communicate to us privately. After this, the weather forecast repeats 9 more times. The following segment is called Relaxation. This one just pans through a purple forest with a strange music in the background while putting words of encouragement up on the screen such as "You are great" and "You are a likable person" so on and so forth. The final segment of the first broadcast is just named ???. It just shows a static TV while we can hear someone narrating some lines from a poem called "A Place For The Bees". After this segment, the closing remarks begin where the audience is just thanked once again for watching the broadcast. Before the broadcast ends, text reading he is watching appears on the screen for a split second. Now for some notes.
Notes:
-The Overwatcher: We almost know nothing about him. The only thing we do know about him is that it seems he runs these broadcasts, he also seems to be described as a mission in some way. It's also very clear that the encrypted message we saw during the weather forecast, we're trying very hard to be hidden from the Overwatcher. He seems to be presented as a villain. We also know he stopped watching Broadcast #1 since we were told that.
-The "He" who is watching: We also almost know nothing about him. We can say he is a male and that for some reason he is watching.
-The guy who wrote the encrypted message that we saw during the weather forecast: This is the guy who I said knows that the Overwatcher stopped watching the broadcast and for some reason wants to communicate to us privately.
-The reason why the first episode of Mr. Giraffe is called "What's This": We don't know why it's called "What's This". We just know it's called "What's This".
Okay, I am going to stop here and split this into parts. This is going to be part 1. And that's it. So it's done.

The Introduction of The system explained

The System Explained Introduction

Hello guys, today I decide to explain an ARG called The System. The System is an ARG consisting of 3 channels called Cave of Shadows, Ns0mnby and Awake. I decided to do this because there's a guy named Eric Wise and he has an analysis of the ARG and he hasn't finished it yet 'cause he doesn't want to finish it at all anymore. Here is the link to his channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaGOgwGKnDVOKY0DrFsBAiA. Ok, now that's cleared up, I'm going explain each channel one at a time. I'm starting with Cave of Shadows, since it came first and ending with Awake since it came the last. Ok, that's the introduction for now. BTW, here are the links to 2 of these channels, Cave of Shadows and Ns0mnby:
The link to third channel doesn't work anymore.
Also, I need someone to publish the two recent posts of this blog.
Ok, that's all for now.
