    I remember playing that arg game and getting confused, but getting the lore now, its also connected to another game. Maddy is from "Cool Math Games The Game" or something along those lines. From what I remember, something gets messed up and you need to find files or puzzle pieces and make a new game. Thinking about it now, imagine if the game made was the arg game.

There were other characters, too, and even The Beast was there. When I won, I got a password that I didn't know what for, and I could tell that there were more passwords to get. Maybe look into it?

    Way back earlier this year, there was another game released on cool math games called “cool math games the game” that has the beast as one of the characters I’m pretty sure as well as maddy as one of the characters. Could that game have any relation to this ARG?

    • @Vege-Table

    The song from the Stupendium is a perfect summary of the theory channels, their history, the community, and how it has affected us all. MatPat and his theories *really* raised me as a kid, and now as a grown up who is still apart of Team Theorist, it has really taught me to see the world with an open mind. I'm so thankfull to MatPat, his channels, and the theorist community for teaching little me to totally adore the secrets, lore, and mysteries in everything. Thank you, MatPat. And thank you, Stupendium for that amazing, heart-touching song. Happy theorizing to all

  • @TheGreatBlob24

    Theory: enderpearls are endermites eggs. Lemme explain. Endermites lay eggs in endermen and chorus fruit, (since endermen eat chorus fruit) and then the endermites grows inside the endermen. And any endermen that doesn’t drop an enderpearl when killed either isn’t infected or the endermites already hatched. My theory is backed up by the fact that the only way to spawn an endermites is by throwing an enderpearl and the fact that endermites are the only mob endermen are hostile against
    Edit: thx this is the most likes I’ve ever gotten!

    Cool Math Games was the first Flash Game website I ever played on, in elementary school. I kept playing through middle school, and in high school I discovered some other Flash Game sites that had more interesting escape room-type games. That was when I discovered the Flash versions of the Cube Escape series, and now I have all the Rusty Lake games on both Steam and mobile.
    That said, a Game Theory video on the Rusty Lake series would be awesome.

    When the zip file game was out on cool math I was in class and confused booted it up and figured it out through trial and tribulation. There are 3 endings i'd found first being running straight through which the hang man monster eats you, second being you get all the obvious bugs and fly out yet something feels off and you venture back on in to the third ending finding all the glitching bugs to save you and the monster. Pretty cool game

    1: you guys are likely to double his freaking subscriber count if not more (and even double would be criminally low for what he's worth)
