Searching For A World That Doesn’t Exist

Searching For A World That Doesn’t Exist

Weird Book I Did Not Write

Introduction to the Mystery

  • The video begins with a peculiar line from a book: "Whatever you do at the crossroads, don't turn left." Avery claims he did not write this book.
  • A YouTube channel named Avery the Mayo uploaded a video showcasing a mine that supposedly Avery never built, containing a chest and an enigmatic book.

Contents of the Book

  • Inside the book is a strange message repeating warnings about crossroads and an ominous presence: "It's listening. You can't outsmart it." This raises questions about its origin.
  • The message concludes with an unidentifiable sequence of numbers, which appear to be some sort of code but defy standard deciphering methods.

Investigation into the Code

  • Despite attempts to decode the numbers, they exceed 26, ruling out alphabetical codes; there are four sections instead of three, complicating potential interpretations further.
  • No existing cipher matches this code, leading to speculation about its significance or purpose within the game world.

Discovery of Additional Clues

  • At the end of the video, Avery's inventory briefly displays a pattern that corresponds to block names in Minecraft; when capitalized appropriately, it forms a string matching a Google Drive link.
  • This link leads to further content related to this mysterious Minecraft world that seemingly does not exist in conventional terms.

Exploration of New Footage

  • In subsequent footage titled "footage one," another player appears in the same location as Avery but possesses more items and has returned for survival gameplay involving this mine. The original book is now missing from its chest location.
  • As exploration continues into deeper caves filled with unusual greenery and trees—elements not typically found underground—Avery expresses concern over their unnatural appearance and lack of expected stone types in cave walls.

Unnatural Terrain Features

  • Avery discovers patches of moss and large trees that should not naturally occur in caves; these features raise suspicions about who or what created them and how they appeared without his knowledge.
  • Upon venturing deeper into these caves, he encounters increasingly larger patches of greenery until reaching an expansive chamber filled with oversized trees forming stair-like structures against cavern walls—a clear indication that something extraordinary is happening here.

Conclusion on Exploration Findings

  • As he explores this giant green cave filled with strange flora, questions arise regarding its origins: Who made it? How did it manifest in his world? These mysteries remain unresolved as he prepares to delve deeper through an intriguing tunnel at the center of this bizarre environment.

  • Despite his bravado, he hears sounds that suggest he is not alone, hinting at an underlying tension within the environment.
  • Avery feels an inexplicable compulsion to jump down into a dark area, marking a shift from curiosity to unease as he questions the nature of this world.

Discovery of Documentation and Conflicting Narratives

  • Avery finds a PDF documenting explorations in a strange tunnel within his Minecraft world, raising questions about its origins and purpose.
  • He notes discrepancies between his understanding of how the world was created versus what Avery claimed about finding it pre-installed on a computer.
  • The censorship of Avery's name and changes to his character skin suggest he may be hiding from something or someone.

Navigating Through Dark Tunnels

  • As Avery continues deeper into the tunnels, he feels compelled to keep moving despite uncertainty about what lies ahead.
  • He swims through increasingly narrow passages until reaching a vast cavern filled with multiple tunnel openings, amplifying feelings of disorientation.

Encountering Whispers and Setting Traps

  • Upon hearing whispers reminiscent of previous sounds, Avery digs into the wall for safety, indicating heightened anxiety about being followed.
  • After ensuring the coast is clear, he faces another decision point regarding which tunnel to explore next.

The Oasis and Strategic Planning

  • Eventually arriving at an oasis surrounded by peculiar trees, Avery takes stock before crafting a boat to further investigate while also preparing defenses against potential threats.
  • His actions reflect strategic thinking as he plugs holes in anticipation of whatever might pursue him through these tunnels.

Evidence of Pursuit and Exploration Strategy

  • Acknowledging signs that indicate something may be following him—like footsteps heard during pauses—Avery sets up traps using game mechanics to reveal any lurking dangers.

What Secrets Do the Signs Hold?

Avery's Discovery of Hidden Signs

  • Avery initially only notices one sign but later discovers two additional signs in the footage, indicating a deeper mystery.
  • All three signs point towards a specific location when aligned on a coordinate grid, suggesting they are interconnected.
  • Avery cleverly switches to peaceful mode due to running out of food, showcasing his strategic thinking in survival situations.
  • Despite returning to check his contraption at the lake, nothing appears, indicating that no entity has interacted with it yet.
  • Avery realizes something is present when he observes a grass block that changed state without him being there, hinting at an unseen force.

The Maze and Its Challenges

  • As Avery navigates through a maze-like tunnel filled with dead ends, he demonstrates persistence and intelligence in problem-solving.
  • The entity following him shows signs of intelligence by blocking exits and manipulating items within the game world.
  • The environment seems to guide Avery toward certain locations, raising questions about its intentions and what lies ahead for him.

Encountering the Cipher

  • Upon exiting the maze into a large room with a cipher above a door, Avery prepares to decode it using pen and paper.
  • After significant effort staring at the code, he eventually deciphers it as using "cipher stacking," though he does not reveal its content.
  • A new challenge arises with what appears to be a combination lock gate; however, his approach this time is more unconventional.

Unraveling Identity Confusion

  • A brief glimpse reveals another player's name—Durlord 3—raising questions about who has been playing throughout this footage.
  • This revelation leads to confusion regarding conflicting narratives about the game's origin and character identity.
  • The narrative shifts focus as Durlord explores further into the village after solving the puzzle.

Exploring an Abandoned Village

  • Durlord enters an eerie village that appears abandoned based on visual cues like cobweb-covered structures and empty containers.

Exploring the Final Area

  • Discussion shifts to how Derlord discovered this world through his computer while Avery found his old laptop. Questions arise about what truly exists within this realm.

The Nature of Fear

  • It’s revealed that something terrifying lies behind a black square in footage—a force powerful enough to instill fear in even the most intelligent protagonist.

Deciphering Codes

Video description

"At the crossroads, don't turn left" is the first line of a book that Avery did not write. A strange mine suddenly appears in Avery's world with an odd book in a chest, but as he explores further, Avery finds a tunnel leading to a Minecraft world that shouldn't exist. And he isn't the only thing in this world either... Avery's Channel: @averylargemayo DISCLAIMER!! Don't read for spoilers: ---- The ARG in this video is one that I created specifically for this video. Upcoming videos will continue to feature ARGs I find in the wild, but I wanted to experiment with storytelling and see if I can make an entertaining mystery watch myself. Some fun tidbits about this video - it was made over the course of 4 months and I have some thoughts but I think the second half of the video is both very experimental and very fun to watch. Multiple minutes of no voice over and just music?? Never done that before, hopefully this doesn't age badly. The CIPHER though goodness gracious. The cipher room d3rLord runs into was meant to be almost unsolvable with cipher stacking. But I made the cardinal sin of stacking two substitution ciphers so it can be solved with literally just a basic vigenere. The whole point was to ego boost d3rLord but now he's just yapping about solving a basic shift cipher. Oh well... I also think the whispers in the tunnel might be the worst flaw of this video. I liked the idea in theory but sounds a tad corny. The rest of the vid I really like though.

Not Secret Minecraft things or Minecraft lore (like Game Theory) or Escape Rooms, but a spooky ARG!! But not really args, this is unfiction. A tangential but not identical genre. It's basically a cool mystery story. See you next time.
