[tangerineseed]

Inktober extra doodle - Interloper

idk if I've talked about my love of args here yet, but tbh I'm not great with puzzles and usually just lurk, waiting for the smarter people to solve everything

ramble under the cut

Anyway, Interloper updated and I decided to rewatch everything and tried to doodle while watching. It's honestly one of the few horror related that actually freaks me out. It's a bit of a twist on the classic "haunted game", but instead it's a haunted game engine. And idk if it's actually supernaturally haunted or if there is some sort of high sci-fi thing going on? But it's made by a guy who obviously loves source engine and knows a lot about it. And although I will admit I don't fully understand everything going on, I'm still having a lot of fun with it 💖

This is the biggest thing I am interested in at the moment. So sad that Interloper doesn't have a fandom in the conventional sense... We only have a Discord server for the investigations (a couple thousands of people who as confused at what's going on as I am) but there's... no FANDOM. You know what I mean?

There are many characters in this story who, as people (and not people?), are SO INTERESTING, yet there are barely any fanart or them. All with the biggest potential of telling the most heart-wrenching sad story that would compromise our understanding of "human-ness" as we know it... Come on, people?? I'm crying and climbing walls at the Anomidae//Eidamona parallel and the implications...

PLEASE let's make it a fandom. You, yes, you. GO watch it, all episodes, RIGHT NOW!!!

DO YOU LIKE:

the source engine, the real one with all the working bits not just the games that run on it, including demos that YOU (yes you) can run on your PC & watch? (as a preface, some of the demos & footage move the camera extremely quickly which mimics flashing and could induce eyestrain and/or seizures. please be aware before you watch)

old versions of games / ports to other consoles that are very fucked up & the playground rumors & creepypastas that come from them?

defunct companies who mess with something they don't understand, with hints of employees and other people involved being terribly affected by it?

the continuous research into something that's clearly dangerous, warnings left ignored and resulting consequences brushed off?

IF SO, PLEASE WATCH INTERLOPER !

best watched without any previous information (i tried to be vague!)

if you have any questions or are struggling to find other parts of the mystery, please consult the interloper wiki!

i have seen very few posts about it on tumblr so i wanted to make an awareness post. it immediately cemented itself as my current special interest & i would LOVE to be able to talk about it with someone.

thank you for reading! - tom

Anomidae, the creator/channel behind the incredible INTERLOPER series, AKA Project SKY // BOX, is approaching 100k subscribers on the heels of their latest episode. I highly recommend checking it out if you've ever had a passing interest in creepypasta, post Petscop YouTube "analog" horror, ARGesque content, or the whole Source Engine ecosystem in general.

Without getting into spoiler territory, Anomidae has taken these genres/mediums to a whole different level, constantly resisting the urge to lapse into common tropes or the purely supernatural. INTERLOPER has one of the most well-designed multifaceted mysteries I've ever seen, bolstered by some of the most in-depth technical trickery and shockingly good production values of not just any YouTube horror project, but any YouTube project ever.

INTERLOPER is a project born from a love of the last twenty years of Source gaming in every form, and a generation of "my game is haunted???" scary stories, taking that concept to a logical extreme where you're never quite able to say "this game is haunted" in the world of the story, even as repeated seemingly impossible phenomenon manifest.

I could write a book about how much I love this series, and its rejection of the tendency by less interesting creatives toward "more vague = more interesting." It has enough confidence in its own mystery to put capable characters in the pilot's seat, who are taking a thorough, extremely analytical approach toward the mystery in question, but still being challenged, still being left in the dark, still feeling like they've always scraping up against the exterior of a much older story that they aren't the protagonists of.
