Ok, I found an ARG on the Night Mind Index the other day, and because of karma constraints, I couldn't post it until today.

From what I can tell, this is an ARG about a company called ArrowSmart, and it seems to be focused on what the company is hiding.

I have two links for this ARG: the Night Mind Index (my reference) and the ARG site itself.

Night Mind Index: https://www.nightmind.info/horrorproj (listed just below the Cup O' Joe Archives notecard)

Website: https://arrowsmartwebinfastructureversion8.vercel.app/

I have found a few things already:

1) I found a hexadecimal code hidden in the source code of the website; when decoded, it says: /echo.html

2) On echo.html, there is a list of 5 links at the bottom. The first link takes you to a core harvest Ledger. The second takes you to personality files. The third takes you to a transmission log. The fourth takes you to the archives. The final link just takes you to the community Discord, and I think it is just an in-game way to get people to join it.

3) In the personality files, the one listed as J.D. seems to have information like a username and password.

4) The core harvest ledger is just a list of names, live timers, and more. There are thousands of names here, but I can't cover them all here there are just too many.

Following up on the community's tactical suggestions, u/PhantomJ5pointed out that the team needs to scan the topographical map for an alternate route to avoid the police presence guarding the main trails of Inverbrachie National Park.

also..THIS IS NOT IN CHARACTER TO BE CLEAR.

In this this leg of the story, Spyro and her boyfriend Cat hunker down and map out the topography. They locate a blind spot on the eastern boundary line where a civilian backyard tightly hugs the park's perimeter fence. They sneak into the yard, find a massive oak tree with branches stretching right over the top of the fence, and scale it in total darkness to bypass security.

They successfully drop down into the forbidden forest territory

The forest is completely dead silent. The mouth of the unmapped cave system is located roughly three miles deep into the thicket, meaning the characters have a massive, dark hike ahead of them. They have packed flashlights, extra batteries, a map, food, and water.

As they begin trekking deeper into the tree line toward the caves, the community needs to decide how they handle this dangerous three-mile hike.

How should Spyro and Cat navigate the pitch-black woods to reach the caves safely? Comment below to lock in your vote:

• [Choice A]: Keep flashlights on continuously. Prioritize seeing immediate threats or obstacles on the path, even if it risks drawing attention from distant patrols.
• [Choice B]: Navigate using ambient starlight / burst lighting. Walk mostly in the dark to stay hidden, only clicking the flashlights on for brief, 2-second bursts when the trail becomes completely unreadable.
• [Choice C]: Leave the main trail entirely. Hike through the rough, unmapped brush parallel to the trail to guarantee they won't run into any surprise security sweeps.
