What is the Sun Vanished ARG about?

Guest 0:32
Compressed. The sun vanished compressed. Compressed. The sun vanished is a kind of alternate reality story that began on Twitter in 2018. And the premise was a man woke up one day to find that the sun has gone out and it started to incorporate a couple of other Twitter accounts. Now it's a little hard to do a video going through the entirety of the sun vanished because the ARG went on for a couple of years and the creator was like replying to people constantly. So it's like reading two years of constant, you know, Twitter use. So rather than doing that, uh, we have had some people on the creep cast team go and buy people. I mean, one, uh, indentured servant. Thanks Nate. Uh, go through and, uh, trim it down to the big points. So this is like, it is comprehensive for everything that happened in the sun vanish. But as you said, compressed.
Host 3 1:27
Yeah, it's going to be the no-fat version of the story, but if you want to go experience it, it's all still up there. And this is actually coming from three different Twitter accounts, The Sun Vanished, Tucker, and Nat. And it looks like The Sun Vanished stopped posting around 2021, and then the other ones are from the other said...

How does the story unfold through social media?

Guest 1:45
Yeah, they've continued a little bit after, into 2023, I think. So as we talk about, we're going to be talking about what accounts it came from, what the dates are. There's some videos. We're going to watch those together. So if you're not familiar with it, hopefully this is a great introduction, give you an idea for the series. And if you want to check it out for yourself, we'll have the links to everything in the description, as always.
