I think it mightve started as that but with the deliberate addition of codes and stuff in their later uploads I'm pretty sure its veered into arg/webseries territory

He is trying to forgive himself for being different, for getting in his own way. This entire thing seems to be about the inner battle of who we were and who we want to be. Who we try to be. That sometimes the darkness is more accepting. More willing to love you. Sometimes you have to reach outside yourself for help in the battle with the complexities of mental illness. Sometimes you don't win. I'm so glad I saw this. The story could have been ripped from my son's emotional & mental health. I'm not sure if I should bring it to his attention. It really is amazing.
I’m 19 with a schizophrenic younger brother, I think showing them this ARG would be an amazing engaging way of showing your support and attempt at understanding, I’d not exsplain it at first, let him feel the similarities
@@shmeatr2463 I'm... not sure it's a good idea to show someone an arguably terrifying ARG series to someone with Schizophrenia. PLEASE ask him about it first at the very least, maybe get professional advice as well.
It's uncomfortable, it uses intentionally frightening imagery, but I don't know that it's actually *scary* once you have even the slightest idea what's going on, any more than, like, Depressive Suicidal Black Metal is scary.
“My past decapitated” sounds like a version of the phrase “killing time”. Maybe the character spent a lot of their past life not doing/feeling anything significant, but rather, they did meaningless activities to kill some time
it's insanely uncanny how much i relate to this ARG, i've been struggling with loneliness, alienation and stress for a while now and to find something that perfectly describes how i feel has genuinely helped me a little bit
I'm surprised you didn't mention that complex also has a definition within psychology, a pattern of emotions or perceptions fixated around a particular thing or idea.
Agreed, this also made me think about the fact that all things are interconnected and thus are *complex*. Never noticed that linguistic relationship lol
I think the "complex" in this series is actually referring to a complex in its psychological definition, or someone being fixated around a certain feeling or idea about something, often themselves or their circumstances.
That's what I thought from my own experiences with being isolated from a "normal life" from my abusive mother. _"When does a home become a complex?"_ _"When does a complex become a home?"_ But I also realized that these two questions juxtapose the theme of imprisonment as well as a psychological disorder. At times you feel trapped and it's very disconcerting, but at other times you fear the unknown and the "trap" can be comfortable like a home because it's what you're used to.
I didn't know it was an ARG, but regardless of that it's great material. The horror aspects feel very primitive and unnatural, and the animation is very simple but effective. Creepy in the best way possible.
Horror is a very effective genre to depict depression (and other mental illnesses). Even with other possible meanings of the story, I found the series really powerful in that regard. Depression and anxiety feel nonsensical and terrifying when you're experiencing them, and this type of absurd horror really captures that. Thank you for bringing this series/channel to my attention!
The way I interpreted this is like the visual representation of depression and how it can turn you into a “monster” . The man initially try’s to ovoid the “monster” in the basement by ignoring it. The “monster” chases the man in the hallway until he is cornered .he then losses the fight, where he is consumed by it after. In the party no one can see the “monster” much like how mental illness /depression can’t be physically seen most times. The scene with the “angel” speaking reminds me of how you are told to forgive those who have hurt you In order to be free/move on. “Forgive the one least deserving” idk just my take on it.
Cool interpretation! I do also think it's about depression and its individual complexity. But I disagree with you about the Angel talk; I believe the angel told the main character to forgive itself in order to move on, since many people have done things in the past which they regreted it's normal to think you don't deserve forgiveness.
Nice interpretation. I’ve been struggling with OCD for over a year and finally got over it, but man I can tell you my life completely changed forever, and I knew something like this would happen someday since a few years, but I would do my best to get through it the day it would come. Eventually it did around 13 months ago, and I’d be fighting every day, every hour, every moment and pushing it away getting depressed, angry, dreading life, feeling worthless, hurting myself, going insane but I was aware, it never worked out at times and whenever it was normal feeling, what I was going through would come back and I’d sometimes forget and I’d be imagining I did something back then that was bad but that NEVER happened at all, and it started getting worse and the moment that happened I got pissed off even more, like I’m really gonna let this ruin my life? Nah, and so it was like life was doing this on purpose it was literally a trial and I knew I could have given up any time but I wasn’t gonna let that happen, not at all, all that stuff I’ve been through and got through happened for a reason and it was leading up to this point I wasn’t gonna back down, and I pushed through that no matter how sad and depressing it felt, how guilty I’ve felt, and how bad those intrusive thoughts were and how regretful it was. Also while also approaching the situation the best way I can, so life will no longer be the same how it was for me but I’m fine now, in fact it’s been better, and idk if it’s related to this video but your comment reminded me of that
And whatever I went through wasn’t my fault, if I went that far, over a year, to make sure it was all normal, and got rid of it, then nothing on the level of that feeling would ever affect me anymore anyways I can only imagine how it is for people dealing with worse physically mentally and even worse, I pray and hope you get through whatever is happening as soon as possible, because I won’t ever wish this on anyone. You are strong.
I have scizotypal bipolar, BPD, and grew up in a Roman catholic household. Once, when my parents found out I tried to unalive myself, my mom made the whole family do an entire Rosario a night for a month. I finally actually got help when I was on my own insurance, and am on medication that keeps me stable. I'm not saying that religion is bad; I myself have come to terms with my beliefs and reconciled my experiences, but I cannot tell you how horrible it was to grow up and be told that you're not sick, that there's something wrong with your character. With the very essence of you as a human. That to deny what the creator made was the worst part of being sick. And that the answer is to ask the same entity that made you like this to make you... not like that. It drives you even more insane, believing that you fundamentally do not deserve to get better.
I have a theory that the triangle head monster represents bpd, or at least the complex issues the creator is facing. There is a video with a very similar looking monster used to represent bpd through animation, called, "Borderline Personality Disorder," by Ofir Sasson. But besides that, religion should never be the answer to a problem based in psychology. I too have bpd and bipolar disorder (not schizotypal though.) I relate to being told you aren't sick, that something is wrong with your character, or just with who you are. Religion should never be a doctrine, and it should never be viewed as "my way is the only way." It should be looked at with nuance and incorporate science. Isn't that what the bible wanted anyways?
@@Naranylla i agree with you. i think that even if bible is fictional it's purpose was to give people hope and to give them morals to live by (notice how the things listed in decalogue are still indicating what is wrong even today). maybe out of greed and lack of knowledge people turned it into a tool to traumatize, indoctrinate and etc other people. one thing that i will never understand is that exorcism was used on people with mentall illnesses to get the demon out of them. what the fuck, that idea is so fucking stupid and cruel and how can these people misinterpret everything. sorry for my broken english but I'm just mad rn I also thing that the angels in this series are the most mysterious creatures. When it comes to the back creature and the black triangle creature I can imagine that white is positivity and black is negativity, but with angels nothing comes to my mind. Do you know what they might mean?
@@rg78w54 It's hard to say what they might mean. I agree, they are the most mysterious creatures in the series. Maybe they represent what is "supposed to be good." Like maybe they are the traumatizers, and represent what was supposed to be. But maybe they just represent happiness? And I think the entire series is black and white for a reason too, which might be a hint. But I'm not really sure about the angels.
the weirdest thing about these is, as a kid, i used to draw pictures that looked extremely similar to the triangle headed man in the first video. this creeps me out even more as (nowadays) i relate HEAVILY to the themes presented in these videos
I drew a similar drawing when I was suffering from crippling depression from opioid withdrawal. Crazy how depression can be manifested into these black lonely creatures
16:04 when the subtitles read “love” the image on the screen is the word PEUR which means “fear” in French (I’m also pretty sure that’s the word we hear on the audio track)
Sign language isnt just "sign language". They call it "ASL" for a reason. It's actually quite complex, and I'm not 100% on the history, but sign language started with a French sign language, and then it spread out, so other iterations got some of the previous ones. This might account for why there are so many translations for that last set of sign language. I'd try whatever the French sign language is and see if anything shakes out of that tree, given that there was some special association with the French and sign.
i mean i'm pretty sure the sign language used in these videos is just the ASL alphabet which is quite simple because each sign just corresponds to one letter instead of a word or phrase, if it is in french then idk though. i don't really know any sign language apart from the alphabet in ASL
@@bingusbongus1912 Sure, man. Which from what I understand, ASL had a French connection? I'm not 100% on all of that either, so... Who knows? I just find it odd that there's some sort of connection there.
@@chriswilson7211 ASL student here, ASL definitely had a connection with french, but while i’ve tried translating it, it seems that there is only the ASL alphabet in this. The issue here is that some signs are very easy to mix up (in this case, E and S were incredibly similar and i mixed them up quite often), and since there were no pauses in between the finger spelling, its easy to mix it up. Its also a bit. jumbled.. i think? Its like if you were to listen to english without knowing the language. It definitely *sounds* english, but you don’t know what it’s saying. From what I got (in all one word), “tequestintheyasedhimreainsunaswered”, followed by “heasmouedastmenobeyondme”. I can kind of understand what it is trying to make out, but the thing is some of the signs are blocked by the distortion of the shadow. For example, some words i can see like “Beyond me” and “remain unanswered” are quite clear, but the issue is that some of these signs are in reversed order or have random letters in between, or are missing some letters, so it can’t be what would be clear words (like remain being reain)
As an ink and paper artist who really loves technology and just random stuff, Boisverts content is amazing. The codes, the hidden messages, even the meme formats but above all the animation and sound design just amazes me. I was very lucky to find his channel relatively soon and it's been a journey, trying to decifer his message. Your video was great mainly because you showcase a lot of his stuff without commenting over it, just letting the viewer get immersed too, and decoding some stuff most people would miss and saying "this is x code" "this is y for z" is really cool
If anything, the web series comes off as sad and lost once you piece together the meaning behind it. It only becomes more lonely when you begin to relate with those frightening creatures, and question whether or not you actually look like that to your concerned loved ones.
The Black Demon's design is what scares me the most about this series, The nothingness only occupied by eyes, upclose whispers are what scare me the most, literally almost to the point where I want to cry. but I can't help but acknowledge just how good the design is aswell with it being so simple.
Another thing to note, the song used in 'In The Walls' (Here: 5:47) is called Haunted, by Laura Les who is the half of 100 Gecs, pretty much the song is about somebody being haunted by a being who has kept them up for days and scaring people off cause of how they look via their fangs, smashing objects etc.
This webseries is definitely a metaphor about being disabled (mentally or physically). As someone with disabilities, as soon as I saw the second video you showed, I knew this wasn't just venting about the pandemic. A lot of disabled people are very isolated and have lived all their lives isolated and alone. "Complex" can also have a similar meaning to "cluster" and a LOT of the struggles faced by the protagonist in this series can be linked to Cluster C personality disorders. "The complex is an aberration" also lend credence to this, aberration means a deviation from the norm somewhat. "Cry out so that none may ignore" could be advice towards the protagonist, that they need to seek help for their struggles. The usage of sign language may also indicate one thing: the protagonist of the story is non-verbal. While there's no connection between cluster C disorders and being non-verbal, it is possible that the protagonist has both of these disabilities that have caused him to be so isolated.
Also, after saying "cry out so that no one may ignore" and taking over the character to kill everyone else seems like a typical school shooting scenario when the burden of being misheard, ignored becomes too much and the emotion takes you over, so you make finally sure everyone knows what's been inside you
that's what is so amazing about this series. it can mean different things to different people, all people who feel isolated, lonely and burdensome. for me it can also be a tale about low self-esteem, which can eventually turn into something worse. look, when you have low self-esteem you might even avoid social situations because they are so overwhelming, because you constantly fear of what others might think of you. at the end, in the newest video black triangular man dies. he was once a white creature, so does that mean that he is murdered or kills himself? he doesn't get help?
AAAAAAAAGH IM SO GLAD I COULDVE HELPED WITH THIS!!!!!!! BOISVERT IS ONE OF MY FAV WEBSERIES IN A LONG TIME AND I LOVE YOUR TAKES ON IT/GETTIN IT MORE OUT THERE
This series hit hard but also makes me feel like I am understood by someone. Loneliness mixed with anxiety and depression do feel like that. I remember when I was 16 I left high school because of extreme panic attacks, I saw my former friends and classmates on social media being happy, being in love relationships, going out to parties and it felt so bad because I feel like I couldn’t do achieve any of those things no matter how hard I tried, those thing empowered my depression even further and the mental “scars” remain to this very day.
This was legitamately too scary for me to watch. I had to scroll the page to where I couldn't see the video player in order to watch the video. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to watch this without context at night, especailly with how some people say how they relate to it.
I woke up in the middle of the night to my tv playing the first video when the dark basement monster began talking and I though I was gonna die or something cause I really though it was talking to me through the tv
Man do I see myself in this character. Angry, prone to self-isolation. The last time I isolated from people I cared about in order to shield them from my worries while going through something tremendous, I drove myself up a wall that's incapable of being climbed, like a helpless animal or an angry stray. Follow this cautionary, DO NOT isolate yourself from people who care, you WILL drive yourself to madness and it WILL get worse.
Thing is,what happens when it appears nobody cares,and the every time you reach out your hand is struck away,when the one,maybe two,people in your life you cared about and thought cared about you are starting to seem like they were getting off on your suffering while pretending to comfort you? Or when depression shines a light on something insignificant,and your mind turns it into incontrovertible proof that your friends are out to harm you,even if it’s not true
The only time I was actually disturbed was watching the first video. But after that, I didn't feel creeped out at all. I was just looking at how awesome the animation looks
This video made me realize, how much i relate to the boisvert youtube channel. The fight with yourself, trying to be someone you will probably never be, stealing personalities...Some things are not clear for me yet, but i don't know how should i feel about the other parts. Sad, because it's like seeing my own mind and my own thoughts, or happy because i understood the message. Beautiful.
I agree. I always had an issue with self-isolation, and i always thought i was an asshole to everyone because of me isolating. I could never help but not do it. Turns out im not alone in this situation, feels kinda warm and fuzzy.
at 5:48 that noise was used to make a song called "haunted" by laura Les its a pretty good song but its cool to hear where the begging of the song came from
It's my favorite webseries horror so far. It is clear what it is about, from basically the start of it and it never becomes confusing or hard to follow. Unlike many webseries that are just meant to be scary, with nothing to tell i feel that boisvert has a lot of things to say. Funny thing is that at the start the triangle man is terrifying, but later becomes less scary once you know what's happening.
As someone who has experienced depression for over 7 years I can relate to some of this. I found that in human psychology pointed things or spikes and other jagged objects are treated as a threat or of feeling of being uncomfortable; things like circles and squares are much more familiar. In part I kind of interpret this with a feeling of hostility and feeling like your head is a hostile place. Similarly enough with feelings of D.I.D. or dissociative identity disorder and feeling uncomfortable or outright misplaced in your own body, separated from what you once felt content with and now are only confused. It reminds me somewhat of the game Antumbra to some degree, not entirely cryptic, but without a doubt that this is abnormal and not familiar. You should definitely look into Antumbra if you get the chance. Perhaps the trilogy of Deep Sleep, Deeper Sleep and Deepest Sleep if you are searching for abstract horror games.
My man, pots and pans! Well done, very VERY well done Seth! Who would've thought all those months ago when I first chanced upon your channel and subscribed that we'd be here, where we are now, desiring more and more content to satisfy the masses? Keep up the fantastic work my friend!
This actually kind of reminds me of the game omori. The art style starting simple but changing to horrific detail and the fact that the first character is afraid of society
"The complex is an aberration, yet you have shredded a hole within yourself that only it may fill." GODDAMN BRO THIS IS LIKE A WHOLE FUCKING THERAPY SESSION
I think one of my favorite things which may or may not be intentional is that you can hear the human voice underneath the triangle-headed creature's computer altered voice. It doesn't seem to be a text-to-speech, it sounds more like a voice actor, and because of that it gives this melancholy representation of depression and negativity a sort of humanity through all the darkness.
InTheWalls video was deleted, but the cropped audio that plays is from the song Haunted by Laura Les, also in the They Don't Know video the song that plays when the monster dances is from the group 1800-PAIN, and I believe its "Lurk"
Reminds me of something straight out of the Manga, Goodnight Punpun. Read it at your own risk for it seems to tackle the same sort of dilemmas Boisvert shares such as depression and other existential ideologies.
I was about to comment this! The triangle headed man's design reminds me so much of a certain character in the later chapters, and the crypticness of the themes totally fit too
Ya know what the second video reminded me of? How in the Bible families had to mark their door with lambs blood or the angel of death would kill the youngest member of their family. What reminded me of it was the X’s marked in blood on the doors.
I really like the art style! My favorite thing about ARGs and horror webseries’ in general are the visuals, usually cool ones, and this series really delivers!
i really enjoyed this video!! you made a nice neat summary of something that's very multifaceted and cryptic - with your own interpretation of it too which is cool :D thank you for putting so much effort into this, its one of my favorite genres of media to analyse & i like hearing other's pov on it. also the pixel art and calm music was a nice break in between the creepiness hahah
Thanks for showing about an arg that is not widely known. I know it be super terrifying to watch it at 2 to 3 am. But I'm going to watch this for sure.
i just wanna say angels are a very large part of this series. with it being in two video titles, its also a main theme in tennant. the player character is ouriel, which is the greek spelling of uriel, who is an arch angel. the name literally means light of god, and what do you do in tennant? act as the angel of death like in the story of moses, passing over marked doors, getting rid of something in unmarked ones, armed with a flashlight (the light of god). while the real angel of death is azrael, i dont think the parallels should be glossed over.
Finally,people are giving boisvert reconingtion,i really really liked boisvert and i thought that those videos are some really well done videos that people should watch it,im so happy rn:)
Even if your not looking for an horror arg I really appreciate how it stands by itself as a very well made art piece using different mediums. I found this separate from knowing about the horror analysis side of things and took it purely as a stand alone product and absorbed its morbid yet striking message and story. I feel this series conveyed its message clearly and well without being vague and roundabout by making you search through loads of content or explicit for the sake of shock value. While other projects have value and a lot of love put in, I felt this was a clean execution which personally struck a cord with me.
Having been through this, this series is beautiful. Having come out of It I see a hope, that that pain is not forever. For those who are still in it, I have forgotten how I would have interpreted it.
I would think "the complex" is society, especially with the overall theme being isolation. There's a hole in us all and society fills it, and it's an aberration.
the ASL at 23:18 reads "tequestintheyasedhimreainsunaswered" which seems to be saying "the question they asked him remains unanswered" just missing "HOKMN" which could mean somethin? or nothin. idk. but the second part reads "heasmovedastmenobeyondme" which im assuming means "he has moved past me now beyond me" which is just my closest guess. which would be missing the letters "HPW"
Looks like Hylics. Even kinda looks like the main character. And has the leather gloves thing I wonder if this was the creators secret side profile or something
man I remember when I moved to a new state when I was 14 and just kind of sat in my room, watching other people take walks, play in the street, ride on their bikes. I was so mad that I was stuck inside the house with no friends. depression got a hold of me pretty quickly, and I was anxious about everything. a few months later, I didn’t want to get out of bed and I started having thoughts of just ending it. I’m better now that I’m 18, but this ARG hits close to home to me.
When I had first watched through the videos, I had assumed that starting out it was just an animator making an animation to demonstrate the psychological toll and damage caused by the quarantine of COVID-19, since it cameo out in 2020, with the messages the triangle head speaks pretaining to things where someone who would be stuck in their home entirely alone would think about. When they last saw their family or friends, when did they last go outside, etc. The Burning video would seem to confirm this as well, as it starts up in 2021, the quarantine still in full effect as everyone was at risk, lamenting the damages that had continued to worsen. Seeing people outside, ignoring the warnings and spreading the disease, but going outside at least. It would be easy to assume that after this point it grows into a severe depression by their artistic block, preventing them from doing anything other than feel miserable. I'm not saying that it hasn't grown into this ARG project, but that was just the lense I was looking at it from. One thing to note is that the videos seem to be purposefully out of order. The biggest example of this is the triangle head with the white mask eith arm legs who isn't created until Zoning Ordinance but has appeared in videos prior to it.
The video "Consequences" it reminded me of the SLS camera and it's sometimes used to find ghosts. So immediately I thought the red squares were supposed to mean people in Triangle Head's family and isolating himself from them, seeing them as "ghosts". I relate to that hard, cause I have my own problems with self-isolation and isolating myself from my family. Though I think your meaning of the video makes more sense.
This is beautiful. I’m not really in the ARG crowd but from time to time they’re fun. This one I actually relate to on a very intense level. I want triangle head tattooed on me that would be so spooky
A little bit of info. On the creators twitter you can find some of the names. Triangle head's name is actually Room. And the dog head character is listed among a group of designs called nephilim. Also the being talking to Room in Narrowing is infact Quilled God after he was attack by Room in Zoning Ordinance
Hello Debunk File 👋 I really enjoy your videos, and I just wanted to say thank you. I'll be watching this while renovating my grandmother's house. 💯 Edit: I am doing the staircase to the basement. The house is from the early 1900s, and you would be surprised at the weird stuff that I "unearth" lol.
I was bored in the middle of filler classes (which is basically classes that are 30 minutes long so that the school can affectively switch through lunch periods) and I decided to scroll through youtube. Came across Boisvert, and I watched it in class. Thank god my recommended gave me that video, I absolutely love the series now.
i cant find the "INTHEWALLS" video right now but i just wanted to say that i actually immediately recognize the music snippets used in it: both the first few and the last noise are from "Haunted" by Laura Les
I’ve been going through some shit lately Mentally so when I heard the angel speak to the main character regarding forgiveness it instantly snapped in my head and I somehow found relief and guidance from it, This isn’t scary but more or less eye opening.
20:29 's "goodbye and hello" lowkey gave me a glimmer hope that our protagonist would be able to live on and start again etc and then when the updates proved that nothing got better my heart lowkey broke lol :,)
It's so weird that I can genuinely relate to this. Thank god I have the privelege of not suffering from depression, anxiety, or anything else that could've put me in this guy's situation. Bless him, truly.
I also want to say i knew the take care vid and I thought that was it, it was m favorite creepy yt video on yt so thanks for showing me the full series!
This entire arg feels like Goodnight Punpun. The character designs, self deprecating thoughts, and overall tone of the arg just feels like Goodnight Punpun. ...It basically IS Goodnight Punpun. ((also, for those who dont know already, what im talking about is a manga which- what I can loosely describe as- is mainly about growing up, losing your childhood innocence, and... some other topics that I won't spoil. its scarily relatable and hits home really hard. super underrated, cant recommend it enough))
I didn't know it was a ARG
I just thought they were venting during the pandemic lol
I think it mightve started as that but with the deliberate addition of codes and stuff in their later uploads I'm pretty sure its veered into arg/webseries territory
Not really venting. More just providing a sort of lesson or cautionary tail.
Same. I discovered pretty early on the quarantine and never related so much that never thought of it as a possible ARG
It is ...but it goes deeper still....

He is trying to forgive himself for being different, for getting in his own way. This entire thing seems to be about the inner battle of who we were and who we want to be. Who we try to be. That sometimes the darkness is more accepting. More willing to love you. Sometimes you have to reach outside yourself for help in the battle with the complexities of mental illness. Sometimes you don't win.
I'm so glad I saw this. The story could have been ripped from my son's emotional & mental health. I'm not sure if I should bring it to his attention. It really is amazing.

it's insanely uncanny how much i relate to this ARG, i've been struggling with loneliness, alienation and stress for a while now and to find something that perfectly describes how i feel has genuinely helped me a little bit
Hope you get better homie ❤️
I feel the same and I have a few mental health issues, but we just have to get through it, together as one.
Facts bro It was cool until them “ignore the noises downstairs part”😂
it is pretty conforming to me too, makes me feel less lonely knowing that someone else feels the same
yeaaahhhh same
I’m pretty sure “Boisvert” is pronounced “BWAH-vayre” like the French surname, which mean Green Woods btw!
Great catch
I’d like to add that, in French, it’s often used in the figurative sense to mean “criticism”
Interesting, I thought it was pronounced "Boys vert"
Yeah, but that’s French, and therefore stupid
Thank you!
I'm surprised you didn't mention that complex also has a definition within psychology, a pattern of emotions or perceptions fixated around a particular thing or idea.
I was thinking this throughout the whole video, too. I was going to comment it, but you beat me to it! 👍🏻
Agreed, this also made me think about the fact that all things are interconnected and thus are *complex*. Never noticed that linguistic relationship lol
Isn't that how the alters of people with DID are called too? I'm not sure, since English isn't my first language 🤔
@@atr0phaneura726 I'm pretty sure they're called a system
I think the "complex" in this series is actually referring to a complex in its psychological definition, or someone being fixated around a certain feeling or idea about something, often themselves or their circumstances.
That is certainly possible too
That's what I thought from my own experiences with being isolated from a "normal life" from my abusive mother.
_"When does a home become a complex?"_
_"When does a complex become a home?"_
But I also realized that these two questions juxtapose the theme of imprisonment as well as a psychological disorder.
At times you feel trapped and it's very disconcerting, but at other times you fear the unknown and the "trap" can be comfortable like a home because it's what you're used to.
I didn't know it was an ARG, but regardless of that it's great material. The horror aspects feel very primitive and unnatural, and the animation is very simple but effective. Creepy in the best way possible.
Absolutely!
Horror is a very effective genre to depict depression (and other mental illnesses). Even with other possible meanings of the story, I found the series really powerful in that regard. Depression and anxiety feel nonsensical and terrifying when you're experiencing them, and this type of absurd horror really captures that. Thank you for bringing this series/channel to my attention!
Definitely, of course!
The way I interpreted this is like the visual representation of depression and how it can turn you into a “monster” . The man initially try’s to ovoid the “monster” in the basement by ignoring it. The “monster” chases the man in the hallway until he is cornered .he then losses the fight, where he is consumed by it after. In the party no one can see the “monster” much like how mental illness /depression can’t be physically seen most times. The scene with the “angel” speaking reminds me of how you are told to forgive those who have hurt you In order to be free/move on. “Forgive the one least deserving”
idk just my take on it.
@Dianna Porter no one didn't ask lol.
Cool interpretation! I do also think it's about depression and its individual complexity. But I disagree with you about the Angel talk; I believe the angel told the main character to forgive itself in order to move on, since many people have done things in the past which they regreted it's normal to think you don't deserve forgiveness.
Nice interpretation. I’ve been struggling with OCD for over a year and finally got over it, but man I can tell you my life completely changed forever, and I knew something like this would happen someday since a few years, but I would do my best to get through it the day it would come. Eventually it did around 13 months ago, and I’d be fighting every day, every hour, every moment and pushing it away getting depressed, angry, dreading life, feeling worthless, hurting myself, going insane but I was aware, it never worked out at times and whenever it was normal feeling, what I was going through would come back and I’d sometimes forget and I’d be imagining I did something back then that was bad but that NEVER happened at all, and it started getting worse and the moment that happened I got pissed off even more, like I’m really gonna let this ruin my life? Nah, and so it was like life was doing this on purpose it was literally a trial and I knew I could have given up any time but I wasn’t gonna let that happen, not at all, all that stuff I’ve been through and got through happened for a reason and it was leading up to this point I wasn’t gonna back down, and I pushed through that no matter how sad and depressing it felt, how guilty I’ve felt, and how bad those intrusive thoughts were and how regretful it was. Also while also approaching the situation the best way I can, so life will no longer be the same how it was for me but I’m fine now, in fact it’s been better, and idk if it’s related to this video but your comment reminded me of that
And whatever I went through wasn’t my fault, if I went that far, over a year, to make sure it was all normal, and got rid of it, then nothing on the level of that feeling would ever affect me anymore anyways I can only imagine how it is for people dealing with worse physically mentally and even worse, I pray and hope you get through whatever is happening as soon as possible, because I won’t ever wish this on anyone. You are strong.
Me: *watches creepy Horror ARG videos*
The shadow entity: *whispers* "touch grass."
I have scizotypal bipolar, BPD, and grew up in a Roman catholic household. Once, when my parents found out I tried to unalive myself, my mom made the whole family do an entire Rosario a night for a month. I finally actually got help when I was on my own insurance, and am on medication that keeps me stable.
I'm not saying that religion is bad; I myself have come to terms with my beliefs and reconciled my experiences, but I cannot tell you how horrible it was to grow up and be told that you're not sick, that there's something wrong with your character. With the very essence of you as a human. That to deny what the creator made was the worst part of being sick. And that the answer is to ask the same entity that made you like this to make you... not like that. It drives you even more insane, believing that you fundamentally do not deserve to get better.
Damn bro, I hope you’re doing good, don’t have these feelings take over you and always have a positive mindset. Have a good day sir.
jfc....
I have a theory that the triangle head monster represents bpd, or at least the complex issues the creator is facing. There is a video with a very similar looking monster used to represent bpd through animation, called, "Borderline Personality Disorder," by Ofir Sasson.
But besides that, religion should never be the answer to a problem based in psychology. I too have bpd and bipolar disorder (not schizotypal though.) I relate to being told you aren't sick, that something is wrong with your character, or just with who you are. Religion should never be a doctrine, and it should never be viewed as "my way is the only way." It should be looked at with nuance and incorporate science. Isn't that what the bible wanted anyways?
@@Naranylla i agree with you. i think that even if bible is fictional it's purpose was to give people hope and to give them morals to live by (notice how the things listed in decalogue are still indicating what is wrong even today).
maybe out of greed and lack of knowledge people turned it into a tool to traumatize, indoctrinate and etc other people.
one thing that i will never understand is that exorcism was used on people with mentall illnesses to get the demon out of them. what the fuck, that idea is so fucking stupid and cruel and how can these people misinterpret everything.
sorry for my broken english but I'm just mad rn
I also thing that the angels in this series are the most mysterious creatures. When it comes to the back creature and the black triangle creature I can imagine that white is positivity and black is negativity, but with angels nothing comes to my mind. Do you know what they might mean?
@@rg78w54 It's hard to say what they might mean. I agree, they are the most mysterious creatures in the series. Maybe they represent what is "supposed to be good." Like maybe they are the traumatizers, and represent what was supposed to be. But maybe they just represent happiness? And I think the entire series is black and white for a reason too, which might be a hint. But I'm not really sure about the angels.
the weirdest thing about these is, as a kid, i used to draw pictures that looked extremely similar to the triangle headed man in the first video. this creeps me out even more as (nowadays) i relate HEAVILY to the themes presented in these videos
@Mosaab نعم هو The figure is definitely familiar but like a demon, with the head shape. Like literally familiar looking. But it looks cool
I'm beginning to see a pattern here that I'm not so sure I like.
I drew a similar drawing when I was suffering from crippling depression from opioid withdrawal. Crazy how depression can be manifested into these black lonely creatures
At 3:20 you can see them drawing the creature
Could u make videos of them
I don't see this so much as horror as just raw, intense art
16:04 when the subtitles read “love” the image on the screen is the word PEUR which means “fear” in French (I’m also pretty sure that’s the word we hear on the audio track)
yeah
@Sweet YFT didn't ask nerd.
I thought it said “pear”-
@@Judge_0f_Everything They weren't telling you either.
I weirdly find this whole arg series even kind of soothing, reminds me that I’m not alone with these feelings that come up sometimes.
This is the only "experimental horror" series I decided to watch at night, and I don't regret it.
@@greatwavefan397 I kinda do. It only confirms the fact that there might be some underlying issues going on with me
Sign language isnt just "sign language". They call it "ASL" for a reason. It's actually quite complex, and I'm not 100% on the history, but sign language started with a French sign language, and then it spread out, so other iterations got some of the previous ones. This might account for why there are so many translations for that last set of sign language. I'd try whatever the French sign language is and see if anything shakes out of that tree, given that there was some special association with the French and sign.
i mean i'm pretty sure the sign language used in these videos is just the ASL alphabet which is quite simple because each sign just corresponds to one letter instead of a word or phrase, if it is in french then idk though. i don't really know any sign language apart from the alphabet in ASL
@@bingusbongus1912 Sure, man. Which from what I understand, ASL had a French connection? I'm not 100% on all of that either, so... Who knows?
I just find it odd that there's some sort of connection there.
@@chriswilson7211 ASL student here, ASL definitely had a connection with french, but while i’ve tried translating it, it seems that there is only the ASL alphabet in this. The issue here is that some signs are very easy to mix up (in this case, E and S were incredibly similar and i mixed them up quite often), and since there were no pauses in between the finger spelling, its easy to mix it up. Its also a bit. jumbled.. i think? Its like if you were to listen to english without knowing the language. It definitely *sounds* english, but you don’t know what it’s saying. From what I got (in all one word), “tequestintheyasedhimreainsunaswered”, followed by “heasmouedastmenobeyondme”. I can kind of understand what it is trying to make out, but the thing is some of the signs are blocked by the distortion of the shadow. For example, some words i can see like “Beyond me” and “remain unanswered” are quite clear, but the issue is that some of these signs are in reversed order or have random letters in between, or are missing some letters, so it can’t be what would be clear words (like remain being reain)
@@quellfy7342 "The question they asked him remains unanswered" "he has moved (???) beyond me"...
@@chriswilson7211 ya something like that 👍
As an ink and paper artist who really loves technology and just random stuff, Boisverts content is amazing. The codes, the hidden messages, even the meme formats but above all the animation and sound design just amazes me. I was very lucky to find his channel relatively soon and it's been a journey, trying to decifer his message. Your video was great mainly because you showcase a lot of his stuff without commenting over it, just letting the viewer get immersed too, and decoding some stuff most people would miss and saying "this is x code" "this is y for z" is really cool
idk his editing or animating software cuz i wanna make one
If anything, the web series comes off as sad and lost once you piece together the meaning behind it. It only becomes more lonely when you begin to relate with those frightening creatures, and question whether or not you actually look like that to your concerned loved ones.
I think of this everyday :(
The Black Demon's design is what scares me the most about this series, The nothingness only occupied by eyes, upclose whispers are what scare me the most, literally almost to the point where I want to cry. but I can't help but acknowledge just how good the design is aswell with it being so simple.
Another thing to note, the song used in 'In The Walls' (Here: 5:47) is called Haunted, by Laura Les who is the half of 100 Gecs, pretty much the song is about somebody being haunted by a being who has kept them up for days and scaring people off cause of how they look via their fangs, smashing objects etc.
when you're down this deep. all the uncanny horror and message that is held behind all the craziness is almost comforting.
This webseries is definitely a metaphor about being disabled (mentally or physically). As someone with disabilities, as soon as I saw the second video you showed, I knew this wasn't just venting about the pandemic. A lot of disabled people are very isolated and have lived all their lives isolated and alone.
"Complex" can also have a similar meaning to "cluster" and a LOT of the struggles faced by the protagonist in this series can be linked to Cluster C personality disorders. "The complex is an aberration" also lend credence to this, aberration means a deviation from the norm somewhat. "Cry out so that none may ignore" could be advice towards the protagonist, that they need to seek help for their struggles. The usage of sign language may also indicate one thing: the protagonist of the story is non-verbal. While there's no connection between cluster C disorders and being non-verbal, it is possible that the protagonist has both of these disabilities that have caused him to be so isolated.
Also, after saying "cry out so that no one may ignore" and taking over the character to kill everyone else seems like a typical school shooting scenario when the burden of being misheard, ignored becomes too much and the emotion takes you over, so you make finally sure everyone knows what's been inside you
@@ulugbekm.5683 that could also be read as a metaphor for violent outbursts in general.
@PepStep no one ask.
@@Judge_0f_Everything you to speak
that's what is so amazing about this series. it can mean different things to different people, all people who feel isolated, lonely and burdensome.
for me it can also be a tale about low self-esteem, which can eventually turn into something worse. look, when you have low self-esteem you might even avoid social situations because they are so overwhelming, because you constantly fear of what others might think of you.
at the end, in the newest video black triangular man dies. he was once a white creature, so does that mean that he is murdered or kills himself? he doesn't get help?
AAAAAAAAGH IM SO GLAD I COULDVE HELPED WITH THIS!!!!!!! BOISVERT IS ONE OF MY FAV WEBSERIES IN A LONG TIME AND I LOVE YOUR TAKES ON IT/GETTIN IT MORE OUT THERE
I’m so happy to see people finally found this crazy shit. It’s so weird and wonderful.
This series hit hard but also makes me feel like I am understood by someone. Loneliness mixed with anxiety and depression do feel like that. I remember when I was 16 I left high school because of extreme panic attacks, I saw my former friends and classmates on social media being happy, being in love relationships, going out to parties and it felt so bad because I feel like I couldn’t do achieve any of those things no matter how hard I tried, those thing empowered my depression even further and the mental “scars” remain to this very day.
I wonder how these character designs are extremely simple, yet are still fairly unique
This was legitamately too scary for me to watch. I had to scroll the page to where I couldn't see the video player in order to watch the video. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to watch this without context at night, especailly with how some people say how they relate to it.
I woke up in the middle of the night to my tv playing the first video when the dark basement monster began talking and I though I was gonna die or something cause I really though it was talking to me through the tv
Man do I see myself in this character.
Angry, prone to self-isolation.
The last time I isolated from people I cared about in order to shield them from my worries while going through something tremendous, I drove myself up a wall that's incapable of being climbed, like a helpless animal or an angry stray.
Follow this cautionary, DO NOT isolate yourself from people who care, you WILL drive yourself to madness and it WILL get worse.
Thing is,what happens when it appears nobody cares,and the every time you reach out your hand is struck away,when the one,maybe two,people in your life you cared about and thought cared about you are starting to seem like they were getting off on your suffering while pretending to comfort you? Or when depression shines a light on something insignificant,and your mind turns it into incontrovertible proof that your friends are out to harm you,even if it’s not true
The only time I was actually disturbed was watching the first video. But after that, I didn't feel creeped out at all. I was just looking at how awesome the animation looks
This video made me realize, how much i relate to the boisvert youtube channel. The fight with yourself, trying to be someone you will probably never be, stealing personalities...Some things are not clear for me yet, but i don't know how should i feel about the other parts. Sad, because it's like seeing my own mind and my own thoughts, or happy because i understood the message. Beautiful.
I agree. I always had an issue with self-isolation, and i always thought i was an asshole to everyone because of me isolating. I could never help but not do it. Turns out im not alone in this situation, feels kinda warm and fuzzy.
that triangle headed monster genuinely scares me
Me too I am scared when I look at my dark room corner like I see him 🙂
I want to make you calm that you are not the only one bro😂😃
i fall asleep to autoplayed youtube videos a lot and this was playing as i woke up. never been so terrified
Who knew something so seemingly twisted and creepy could be so beautiful.
at 5:48 that noise was used to make a song called "haunted" by laura Les its a pretty good song but its cool to hear where the begging of the song came from
It's my favorite webseries horror so far. It is clear what it is about, from basically the start of it and it never becomes confusing or hard to follow. Unlike many webseries that are just meant to be scary, with nothing to tell i feel that boisvert has a lot of things to say. Funny thing is that at the start the triangle man is terrifying, but later becomes less scary once you know what's happening.
As someone who has experienced depression for over 7 years I can relate to some of this. I found that in human psychology pointed things or spikes and other jagged objects are treated as a threat or of feeling of being uncomfortable; things like circles and squares are much more familiar.
In part I kind of interpret this with a feeling of hostility and feeling like your head is a hostile place. Similarly enough with feelings of D.I.D. or dissociative identity disorder and feeling uncomfortable or outright misplaced in your own body, separated from what you once felt content with and now are only confused.
It reminds me somewhat of the game Antumbra to some degree, not entirely cryptic, but without a doubt that this is abnormal and not familiar. You should definitely look into Antumbra if you get the chance. Perhaps the trilogy of Deep Sleep, Deeper Sleep and Deepest Sleep if you are searching for abstract horror games.
This is why we fear insects and spiders, it's the angles and way their legs not round or soft looking. Fascinating
The audios from about six minutes seems to sample the song “haunted”, recognized the first part off the bat.
By Poe? That's the only person with a song name haunted I can think of

Keep up the fantastic work my friend!
This actually kind of reminds me of the game omori. The art style starting simple but changing to horrific detail and the fact that the first character is afraid of society
One of the fight scenes had a similar template, too. You can see Wolfman's current emotion and choices of attack.
Reminds me more of Hylics
"The complex is an aberration, yet you have shredded a hole within yourself that only it may fill."
GODDAMN BRO THIS IS LIKE A WHOLE FUCKING THERAPY SESSION
The feelings of lonliness and quite possibly regret over a past decision that they torture them
I think one of my favorite things which may or may not be intentional is that you can hear the human voice underneath the triangle-headed creature's computer altered voice. It doesn't seem to be a text-to-speech, it sounds more like a voice actor, and because of that it gives this melancholy representation of depression and negativity a sort of humanity through all the darkness.
InTheWalls video was deleted, but the cropped audio that plays is from the song Haunted by Laura Les, also in the They Don't Know video the song that plays when the monster dances is from the group 1800-PAIN, and I believe its "Lurk"
I relate to this one a painful ammount. Great series
Reminds me of something straight out of the Manga, Goodnight Punpun.
Read it at your own risk for it seems to tackle the same sort of dilemmas Boisvert shares such as depression and other existential ideologies.
I was about to comment this! The triangle headed man's design reminds me so much of a certain character in the later chapters, and the crypticness of the themes totally fit too

Ya know what the second video reminded me of? How in the Bible families had to mark their door with lambs blood or the angel of death would kill the youngest member of their family. What reminded me of it was the X’s marked in blood on the doors.
Honestly if you had not said this is an arg I would have thought this was venting about 2020
I really like the art style! My favorite thing about ARGs and horror webseries’ in general are the visuals, usually cool ones, and this series really delivers!
The entire ARG makes me feel
*because it hits close to home*
Not even just during lockdown, but in general. It’s scarily accurate how it depicts the feelings of crippling loneliness and a lack of motivation.
i really enjoyed this video!! you made a nice neat summary of something that's very multifaceted and cryptic - with your own interpretation of it too which is cool :D
thank you for putting so much effort into this, its one of my favorite genres of media to analyse & i like hearing other's pov on it.
also the pixel art and calm music was a nice break in between the creepiness hahah
Thank you very much!
Thanks for showing about an arg that is not widely known. I know it be super terrifying to watch it at 2 to 3 am. But I'm going to watch this for sure.
i just wanna say
angels are a very large part of this series. with it being in two video titles, its also a main theme in tennant. the player character is ouriel, which is the greek spelling of uriel, who is an arch angel. the name literally means light of god, and what do you do in tennant? act as the angel of death like in the story of moses, passing over marked doors, getting rid of something in unmarked ones, armed with a flashlight (the light of god). while the real angel of death is azrael, i dont think the parallels should be glossed over.
to be fair, ARGs are always meant to be played as if they're real.
The art style is just so good omg
the most horrifying arg series and its just about a person venting about being stuck indoors during the pandemic
It's not even venting, it's a cry for help, a wish to be around someone, but damage is done, he pushes himself away
Hearing clips from 'haunted' by Laura les in the third video took me off guard LMAO. Boisvert creator has taste
I remember watching the one that went kinda viral not too long ago. I had no idea this was an ARG. I know what I'm binging tonight.
Finally,people are giving boisvert reconingtion,i really really liked boisvert and i thought that those videos are some really well done videos that people should watch it,im so happy rn:)
Panic attack, I choose you!
Even if your not looking for an horror arg I really appreciate how it stands by itself as a very well made art piece using different mediums. I found this separate from knowing about the horror analysis side of things and took it purely as a stand alone product and absorbed its morbid yet striking message and story. I feel this series conveyed its message clearly and well without being vague and roundabout by making you search through loads of content or explicit for the sake of shock value. While other projects have value and a lot of love put in, I felt this was a clean execution which personally struck a cord with me.
Having been through this, this series is beautiful. Having come out of It I see a hope, that that pain is not forever. For those who are still in it, I have forgotten how I would have interpreted it.
I was re watching his videos the day you uploaded this. Great timing.
This is a wild ride. I was watching this outside and had to pause and hide in my room to finish.
Sounds like some of the other Internet stuff I watch.....
I just discovered the song ‘Haunted’ which played in ‘Inthewalls’, a few hours before I watched this, and my face was just like: :0
I would think "the complex" is society, especially with the overall theme being isolation. There's a hole in us all and society fills it, and it's an aberration.
Compared to how most animals interact with each other socially, yeah, it really is not normal.
I do Not know I genuinely need a channel exactly like that. Thank you! Amazing video too. I think need to binge watch to scare myself.
I found out about this series from a vid of the white faced triangle head dude dancing to Goodbye from sewerslvt. Homie knows how to break it down.
Same here
the ASL at 23:18 reads "tequestintheyasedhimreainsunaswered" which seems to be saying "the question they asked him remains unanswered" just missing "HOKMN" which could mean somethin? or nothin. idk. but the second part reads "heasmovedastmenobeyondme" which im assuming means "he has moved past me now beyond me" which is just my closest guess. which would be missing the letters "HPW"
Looks like Hylics.
Even kinda looks like the main character. And has the leather gloves thing
I wonder if this was the creators secret side profile or something
man I remember when I moved to a new state when I was 14 and just kind of sat in my room, watching other people take walks, play in the street, ride on their bikes. I was so mad that I was stuck inside the house with no friends. depression got a hold of me pretty quickly, and I was anxious about everything. a few months later, I didn’t want to get out of bed and I started having thoughts of just ending it. I’m better now that I’m 18, but this ARG hits close to home to me.
Gotta love the sampling of haunted by laura les
First vid off the bat, sick beats
When I had first watched through the videos, I had assumed that starting out it was just an animator making an animation to demonstrate the psychological toll and damage caused by the quarantine of COVID-19, since it cameo out in 2020, with the messages the triangle head speaks pretaining to things where someone who would be stuck in their home entirely alone would think about. When they last saw their family or friends, when did they last go outside, etc. The Burning video would seem to confirm this as well, as it starts up in 2021, the quarantine still in full effect as everyone was at risk, lamenting the damages that had continued to worsen. Seeing people outside, ignoring the warnings and spreading the disease, but going outside at least. It would be easy to assume that after this point it grows into a severe depression by their artistic block, preventing them from doing anything other than feel miserable. I'm not saying that it hasn't grown into this ARG project, but that was just the lense I was looking at it from. One thing to note is that the videos seem to be purposefully out of order. The biggest example of this is the triangle head with the white mask eith arm legs who isn't created until Zoning Ordinance but has appeared in videos prior to it.
Bro the music for the creepy dude in the first episode is absolutely bussin’.
The video "Consequences" it reminded me of the SLS camera and it's sometimes used to find ghosts. So immediately I thought the red squares were supposed to mean people in Triangle Head's family and isolating himself from them, seeing them as "ghosts". I relate to that hard, cause I have my own problems with self-isolation and isolating myself from my family. Though I think your meaning of the video makes more sense.

Hello Debunk File 👋
I really enjoy your videos, and I just wanted to say thank you. I'll be watching this while renovating my grandmother's house. 💯
Edit: I am doing the staircase to the basement. The house is from the early 1900s, and you would be surprised at the weird stuff that I "unearth" lol.
That’s very nice of you.
Fun timing to be working on a basement
I was bored in the middle of filler classes (which is basically classes that are 30 minutes long so that the school can affectively switch through lunch periods) and I decided to scroll through youtube. Came across Boisvert, and I watched it in class. Thank god my recommended gave me that video, I absolutely love the series now.
Holy fuck! It really looks like a game called Hylics. Especially Hylics 2. The mix of drawings with live action is amazingly similar.
The artstyle, the music, sound design, the aesthetic
its so fucking good
nope nope nope
Not watching this alone
I’m gonna come back to this when my husband is watching the all star game
i cant find the "INTHEWALLS" video right now but i just wanted to say that i actually immediately recognize the music snippets used in it: both the first few and the last noise are from "Haunted" by Laura Les
To anyone who likes this series, I highly reccomend a film called The Babadook, it has a similar style/themes.
Yeah one of the few creatures that scare me
I just got one of their videos on my recommended page. I never thought a one minute animation could scare me like that.
I'm willing to bet this is the same guy who made Hylics.
I’ve been going through some shit lately Mentally so when I heard the angel speak to the main character regarding forgiveness it instantly snapped in my head and I somehow found relief and guidance from it, This isn’t scary but more or less eye opening.
Did not expect another upload so quickly after the Egyptian tomb one but I'm glad to see it
20:29 's "goodbye and hello" lowkey gave me a glimmer hope that our protagonist would be able to live on and start again etc and then when the updates proved that nothing got better my heart lowkey broke lol :,)
It's so weird that I can genuinely relate to this. Thank god I have the privelege of not suffering from depression, anxiety, or anything else that could've put me in this guy's situation. Bless him, truly.
I also want to say i knew the take care vid and I thought that was it, it was m favorite creepy yt video on yt so thanks for showing me the full series!
This entire arg feels like Goodnight Punpun. The character designs, self deprecating thoughts, and overall tone of the arg just feels like Goodnight Punpun. ...It basically IS Goodnight Punpun.
((also, for those who dont know already, what im talking about is a manga which- what I can loosely describe as- is mainly about growing up, losing your childhood innocence, and... some other topics that I won't spoil. its scarily relatable and hits home really hard. super underrated, cant recommend it enough))
"you are decaying as you breathe" hit way to close to home
