    I can only imagine someone just joking around typing "ascend", being confused, and assuming everyone else got the same route no matter what they answered

      No way. If you randomly typed "ascend" you couldnt possibly assume its just random no matter what you answered. The dialogue keeps talking about ascending over and over, so at some point youd get suspicious

There is something a tad strange about the game- especially since halfway though it, when the Turnip Boy walks back into a room he's already been, they see a ghost walk to the other side of the door. The moment that Turnip Boy follows though, the ghost is gone.

    Theory: Ascensionism is a fake cult created by Phenix to make the player truly think he was joining a cult. He brainstormed it and tried to "start" it back in 2006, and only truly got it off the ground when it comes to its tenets in 2011-2012, around the same time he started developing Kanye Quest.

    • @kippakat
      @kippakat 3 роки тому +23

      It also seems very similar to the Illuminati. Especially the symbol and idea of “ascension”. The eye with the pyramid inside (I believe) is supposed to be like the Illuminati symbol, a pyramid with an eye inside. And both of their ideals include ascension. Phenix very well could have been inspired by the Illuminati to conjure up Ascensionism on his own. Kanye West also has theories surrounding him that he is part of the Illuminati. It makes it very believable that this game is inspired by that.

    This is just spitballing, but what if there was a specific name and address that you had to input to get a response? Perhaps the username of the guy who submitted the wikipedia article on "Ascensionism" (Kevin Freels) is one of the things that you have to put in? idk tho
    Edit: After watching some of the trailers for the game, I think that the country would be USA, the city would be Los Angeles, (idk what the street name would be) and the house number would be 3030. I got the location from this trailer:
    ua-cam.com/video/qdBsaftZas0/v-deo.html (it's the short trailer on the KanyeQuest3030 youtube channel if you're afraid of a rickroll)
    It would be Los Angeles because that's where the story starts off (at Kanye's house in the game). The country would be USA because that's where Los Angeles is located and the house number would be 3030 because, face it, that's the most prominent number that I can think of.
    Edit 2:
    Someone in the comments ( @Let's Go Animate ) asked where Kanye lived. It the game, it says that he lives in Los Angeles, however he actually lives in a ranch in Wyoming. They probably made his house in Los Angeles for a reason.
    Edit 3:
    These edits are getting annoying, but I think that the fact that the street number is 3030 really cuts down on the streets that it could be on. It's also in Los Angeles, so that cuts down on things.
    Edit 4:
    Someone in the comments reminded me that Kanye didn't live in Wyoming at the time of this game's release.
    Edit 5:
    I'm going to see if changing the contrast and stuff of the last few scenes (where it says that they will get back to you in 2 weeks) does anything. Wish me luck!

      @Cassius Zedaker and this is a legitimate answer.
      You are right that the real reason for the disappearance is most probably too widespread knowledge of the cult itself.
      As said before mamax has found out a lot about it and published it to spread the knowledge before Matt patt.

    this is either a really well thought out arg, or something worse that people have found on accident, something that is real.

    New Theory Channel Idea! (MUSIC THEORY) Yes I know it's a real thing but so is Game Theory so it's not a stretch.
    As a channel, "Music Theory" could answer some of music's biggest questions and dive into the science of music as a whole. It would also complete the "trifecta" of entertainment (game, film, and music).
    Some theory ideas include:
    - How does music affect a person's mood and why does it have such a big impact on it?
    - Why is country music disliked by so many people to the point where it's become the default "bad music genre" for some people? (nothing against it, I quite like some country music)
    - Diving into song lyrics and backstories behind them
    - Why was the piano was so instrumental in the introduction of several genres of music?
    - How are a lot of popular music genres made?
    Whether those specific ideas are good or not, I thought the channel idea would be incredible and seeing a channel like that would be a dream come true.

They sound just really random and weird, but we all know Scott wouldn’t just include things with no meaning in his games. I don’t own the game, so I can’t test this, but has anyone that has access to the game’s files ran the activation sounds through a spectrogram? (The thing that turns sounds into images) I guarantee that there’s a hidden message in there somewhere. If someone has done this, sorry, but it just crossed my mind and I couldn’t shake the thought.

    watching this now brings up memories of when I, among many others tried to decipher the Cicada 3301 puzzle. Honestly it was actually a blast figuring out all of the coding elements and would love to see you do a theory on it. Yea the Mystery is still a Mystery and no one knew what happened to the people who got selected and why at the end, but god damn was it a roller-coaster of fun. And yea i know other have already made videos about it but still would be fun to watch your *theory* on it :)
