Cave of Shadows Explained
Intro of Cave of ShadowsCave 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.
