Beware spoilers!
This article contains heavy spoilers. A new walkthrough will be added later, since the December 4th 2024 update made the previous walkthrough redundant. Of course we will preserve this walkthrough in case you want to visit the old website on the wayback machine.
This page provides an overview of all files related to the ARG. Most of them were obtained from the website in the FOR SOF folder, but there are a few exceptions we will discuss.
Since the December 4th 2024 update, there is now an inventory on the webpage. This inventory contains
four puzzles, which have all been unlocked. This update also included the release of Dallus’ diary that
is in the FOR SOF folder.
This page is about Skys' diary, which he writes early in his time in Inglaterra.
This page is about another Grumblr entry from Rebecca dating from November 5th 2036.
This page is about the strange Book of Eclipse.
This page is about the second installment of the UNBELEEVABLE docu-series, created by Dr. Lee M.D.
This page is about the fifth inventory file that contains coordinates of cities.
The following documents were obtained at the Nex Gen pop-up shops, where the wi-fi password
was also found. The event took place on the 27th and 28th of September 2024 and the documents were obtained on the 27th.
The USB distributed in the pop-up shops contained the Chapel.mp4 video, while the physical
document folders that were handed out and hidden around the shops contained a document about Selene’s
first visits to Youtopia.
The chapel document was released on the website for the September 26th pre-update, before disappearing with the Dec. 4th 2024 update; while the Selene document was never even put there. They are both considered missing.
This document was obtained from the Bring Me The Horizon pop up shops all over the world. It's a Nex Gen research document about the role of the LBRP in reaching Youtopia, featuring Selene as a test subject.
This document was obtained from the Bring Me The Horizon pop-up shops all over the world. It's a mysterious video taking place in a chapel, that was later also made available on the website.
FOR SOF is a folder in the ARG that can be accessed on the computer. It is password
protected and was found on 26-05-2024.
These are the files in release order in the folder. Each of them used to need a password to be unlocked, but that feature was removed with the Dec. 4th 2024 update, making them easily available.
The first file in the folder is an audio message from Selene to her daughter Sof, who she says has been born not even 20 minutes ago. She has to leave Sof after an alarm goes off.
An overview of all four insights: connection, empathy, purpose, vision.
Connection is one of the insights or revelations to master in the ARG, in order to ascend to Youtopia.
Empathy is the second insight on the way to Youtopia. It is associated with band member Madman, Miseria and angel Gabriel.
Purpose is the third insight, linked to Michael, Vanth and Pickles.
Vision is the last insight to reach Youtopia. This insight is associated with Uriel, Vegan and the golden raspberry.
The capslock doc is a document that was found earlier than expected. Its password uses the capital letters from the album itself. It led to an email that can no longer be reached and the file has been removed in an update.
This page is about Dallus's diary
The Strassman codec file contains a conversation between Dr. Karl Strassman and A.I. E.V.E. Strassman raises concerns around the use of P.U.S.S-E to bring people to Youtopia. EVE does not seem to care, however, stating they must continue for the greater good of mankind.
The Dreadit post was written by a user taking a cynical look at Nex Gen and the projects they are developing using the immune child.
Selene's map of Youtopia displays the different insights in different regions and also refers to many of the character's names. It is one of the first documents she left for Sof.
The R8 document contains an animated image of R8, its sheet of technical specifications and a snippet of the Top 10 music video.
Selene's diary is an early file revealing some details about her life as a 16-year old. She writes the diary around the time of VSPR-37 starting, with some in her environment likely already being infected.
The D8 log is a log from Ikaro Lauren, activating EVE and witnessing her genesis. The document also deals with his grief around the loss of his father, Dallus Lauren.
Scott's diary speaks about being bitten and slowly succumbing to an infection, in the middle of the starting VSPR-37 pandemic.
Operation Trinity is a file discussing ARC/HIVE's operation to retrieve Karl Strassman, Dallus Lauren and Skys from the Mantra cult from Novosovia. We learn from the Project D.U.S.T. research proposal that the 'special six' were also retrieved during the operation.
This document proposes projects D.U.S.T. and project S.Y.K.O. The proposal was written by Dr. Elias Mortem, Lead Scientist at ARC/HIVE.
The Science Study is a newspaper dated 2037, describing the phenomenon of radiogenic leukotrichia, a mysterious genetic anomaly that causes pink hair. The newspaper also features other articles about spiritual science, the third eye and a picture we are told is young Skys in the Unbeleevable video.

The Nex Gen leak file includes an email from Nex Gen's Susan White, who is addressing the UNBELEEVABLE episode from CRAP TV. This fictional episode where Dr. Lee MD speaks about the cult of MANTRA and Genxsis contains compromising information for the company.
The Russian poem is a mysterious poem, seemingly about love to an unknown A from an unknown S.
A file with a puzzle and a password. It gives a video of a radio call between Spectre and Overwatch.
A Grumblr post from Rebecca Sinclair describing the events around her diagnosis of CERS. She also speaks about Iara and the developments Dallus Lauren is making at ARC/HIVE, that could potentially save humanity.
File from Strassman and someone redacted to Victor Carmine and yet another redacted name. The file described the LBR sites.
Contains pictures and a diagram of the goxmog creature.
These files have all appeared at some point in the ARG and have not been opened.
Files used to be hidden behind password screens in the FOR SOF folder, but the newest version of the
website has the user solve the puzzles from the inventory. The placeholder screen displayed above
is an older screenshot of the website, where each file got a custom password screen in the folder itself.
On the 29th of May 2024, the prompt at the top was changed to “password_?” instead of “insight_?”.
There are currently 88 corrupted files in the folder. There used to be 18, before
the corrupted files weren’t visible for a while in some later updates.
They are all labeled [CORRUPTED]
If you click on any of these, M8 will tell you one of the following phrases:
“This file is F’d up pretty bad. Don’t worry, I can fix anything. Just check back later.”
“Hey, I’m working on these. Come back later.”
“Dude, don’t you know what corrupted means? Give me some time!”
After the update on 26th May 2024, corrupted files showed the following screen for a few months. In the next version corrupted files could still be scrolled to using the arrow keys, before the corrupted files seemingly disappeared from the folder. After the overhaul in December 2024, corrupt files now don’t display a screen and only trigger a voiceline from M8.
After the May 30th 2024 update, the corrupted files became visible again, this time with arrows buttons and page numbers 1-5.
