Transcript
A photo of the sun rising over the earth is present for the entire video. An unknown entity types:
"You felt it too, didn't you?
You couldn't put your finger on it, but something about the start of this decade felt different.
Think back.
The past few years humanity has been addled - steeped in darkness and confusion.
The world lines have become convoluted.
Events are now remembered differently.
Little synchronicities fluttered back and forth...
Now the timelines are beginning to merge. Regardless of any decisions made now, each timeline is on its own path. Nothing will change the course it is on now. What comes next? A gradual awakening of consciousness that cannot be stopped after this point.
Why do you think you were born when you were? Why do you think you were born where you were? Out of all the possible timelines... Out of all the possible time periods... You happened to be born in the most historic one of them all.
Can you feel the center of your forehead tingle? It's coming."
The screen cuts to black.
Notes
- The binary in the description translates to "32020," hinting at March 20, 2020.
- On April 4, 2020, this video's file extension was changed from .wmv to .txt in order to differentiate the text-based format from videos containing gameplay footage.
