Decoding the Codex of Ruin

So, recently, on discord, people discovered that the entries for The Solemn, The Twins, The Match, and The End do not show up on The Codex of Ruin (farragofiction.com/CodexOfRuin/) for certain people. In copy pasting those links, I noted that I did not know why the urls were so long. The comment was screenshot, put into a farragofiction index with the name "ehehehehe_ilookforwardtowhenyoufindout.PNG"

This clued me in to the urls being some kind of puzzle. I struggled in the code of the game trying to figure out how to decode the long nonsense strings of text attached to each URL. I eventually came upon something called LZString. Googling how to decode LZString brought me to a simple website where I could do that. In the code itself was a random string associated with the Propaganda page that pops up when you put in an incorrect address like http://farragofiction.com/CodexOfRuin/viewer.html?name=NoThanks , but each individual entry had their string in the url.

What ended up decoded was mostly the data already listed on the page with one minor and one major exception.

The minor exception was that there was a segment called exactly_three_tips that for some correlated directly to the tips section, but for others were copies of a different entries tip section. I've included them, but suspect it was just some oversight.

The major exception is the section labelled story_details, which gives hidden details on the character, links to relevant pages, etcetera.

I give both of these data sets for all 24 Codex entries below the readmore.

story_details: Wodin becomes the Wanderer becomes Wanda though a spiraling obsession. Wodin is on the cusp a mystery. He wants to know, NEEDS to know, and is willing to throw everything to the pyre of his obsession of linking a serial killer to a almost forgotten retro game.. He is killed and only one mourns his passing. The Wanderer is born from Wodin's death, and you can only be referred to in the second person. You Wander endlessly the halls of Truth's Temple, able to leave at any time yet completely unwilling to. You carve away pieces of yourself bit by bit for just another morsel of knowledge until nothing is left but a pair of floating eyes. When you sacrifice even those to sink into a deep and dark coffin, Wanda is reborn with full gnosis and knowledge of reality. Sinking into depression, it is the mysterious girl with a flower in her eye that convinces Wanda to use her powers of twisting space to go back to the start and try to make a new life in the past. Eyedol Games is founded and has always existed and always was the source of Zampanio.

story_details: Wodin created a series of web-crawler bots to search for information on Zampanio and the Eye Killer. When Wanda emerged from her chrysalis as a Lord, attendants were required that fit her needs. Her spiders became crows after a meme Reality had access to, and had always existed, even when the Wanderer had power. Some crows have been swayed by other, False Creators. Do not believe their lies

Zampanio exactly_three_tips: HeartlessBot can not feel. HeartlessBot can not speak., HeartlessBot merely conveys the wishes of those Outside of Reality to their chosen Puppet. Caution is to be used if L-C-05 is also in play [this contrasts with the three tips actually given later in the code and is actually HeartlessBot's]

story_details: The only concrete, true thing we know about House of Leaves is that people create derivative works of it. Incredibly sprawling, unsettlingly obsessive derivative works of it. And when I saw what the fan works of Zampanio were like my thoughts kept coming back to that single core fact in House of Leaves. What if it's the same thing there? What if that's the point? What if that's all fandom IS but a memetic hazard endlessly reproducing in all our minds, fueled by obsession? Similar but different. A Spiral and not a loop. So yeah. The Magnus Archives was definitely an important lens to understand the thoughts I had when exposed to Zampanio. And that helped me recontextualize my thoughts on House of Leaves. Lobotomy Corp has given me a fun lens for throwing wrenches into my fan works. Obviously Homestuck and SBURB were highly formative for me. Maybe that's the POINT of Zampanio. I don't think I've seen a single fan work of it that wasn't in SOME way connected to some other fandom? Roblox. Rain world. SBURB (thats how i found it, like a GlitchFaq crossover?). The Obscure Game. Polo. Minecraft. House of Leaves. Polybius. The Magnus Archives. The Way Ahead… Honestly more than I can remember off the top of my head. (is the entire concept of greek myths a ‘fandom’?) Can a fandom be parasitic? Or…can it be a mimic? (A Stranger, if you’ll allow me the conceit) Can a fandom wear the skin of other fandoms in order to spread its memes into new brains. If Memes are the DNA of the Soul…what is Zampanio doing to ours?

Novum Mirror Exactly_three_tips: L-0-R1 can befriend any target., L-0-R1 will not get attached., Do not let L-0-R1 interact with L-W-003. [this contrasts with the three tips actually given later in the code and is actually Witherby's]

story_details: Any who attempt to photograph, reflect or otherwise capture the image of one under the Novum Mirror or Reversed Novum Mirrors effect will be effected. As a result, the effect will spread exponentially. For this reason, it is advised that L-O-I1 be kept from the Novum Mirror at all costs. It is unknown whether the Mirror of Adjustment or the Novum Mirrors effect will in out, but the risk is too high to allow the alternate universe exponential access to ours.

ButlerBot: exactly_three_tips: HeartlessBot can not feel. HeartlessBot can not speak., HeartlessBot merely conveys the wishes of those Outside of Reality to their chosen Puppet. Caution is to be used if L-C-05 is also in play [this contrasts with the three tips actually given later in the code and is actually HeartlessBot's]

story_details: Sometimes I see a mysterious Witch in the Void. Lunch Time Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm https://farragnarok.com/Void

HeartlessBot: story_details: Now deleting Feelings.dart. Awaiting input…

The Neighbor story_details: Look at him. How happy he is! Look how comfortable, and smug. He is right where he fits. (Are you?) He thrives so easily. (Why aren't you?) Look at him. Why won't you? What has you uneasy? Surely he has no intent to harm. It must be your imagination. It must be your guilt. He's so nice, so liked. And you're not. Just last week he cat sit for Janice. (Or was it Janet?) He volunteered in the bake sale! (Or was it a carwash?) Look at him! He leads the PTA. Even though no one can remember, him having any children.

Tyrfing: exactly_three_tips":"L-C-003 is helpful and friendly and fits in well with society;much better than you do., When L-C-003 encounters its doppelganger its stability level decreases., When breached L-C-003 kills exactly one person. Slowly. It's important to make it a special occasion [this contrasts with the three tips actually given later in the code and is actually The Neighbor's]

story_details: Nidhogg's Forsaken Follower, a copy of a copy of a copy. Spiraling unending life has little place in a world of spiraling unending thoughts. Nidhogg's chosen Universe is barred forever to him, and his Follower is powerless. Corruption does not spread here, and even the Children wither and vanish. Only Rod, Rebel and Melon remain, clones hateful to Tyfings eyes, yet protected by those far more powerful than he. Wigglersim does not allow clone spam, after all.

Fruit Children exactly_three_tips":"L-C-003 is helpful and friendly and fits in well with society;much better than you do., When L-C-003 encounters its doppelganger its stability level decreases., When breached L-C-003 kills exactly one person.

The following is an organized explanation of my notes on the lore drops in the YouTube Let's Play of Zampaniosim South done by JR and IC. I don't have full context for some of these properties, so apologies for any mistakes made in facts or interpretations. For the sake of not cluttering dashboards, most is below a readmore.

Zampanio: The characters from other properties like Lobotomy Corps (the created story for the randomized teams of characters) and Morgan's Hill / Dusk Hollow (a ttrpg podcast) were literally, through various means, transported into Zampanio. Their pasts inform their perspectives going into Zampanio. And Zampanio is a place that loops, where time grows less important as space grows so big. Normal people reset during the loops, as in their memory between them doesn't persist. Characters only join the loop when they grow so singularly obsessed with something that they will not let the apocalypse erase them. As a result of this looping, several characters have their past selves in the loops. The looping nature of Zampanio means you could test things that would otherwise result in death.

Lobotomy Corps

General: The characters of Lobotomy Corps we're fused with their associated anomoly before being brought into Zampanio. They come from a world where countries do not exist, which shapes their worldview and how they interact with those in Zampanio. In Zampanio, they live in the abandoned part of the mall that gof twisted by Wanda's maze shenanigans. In this mall, while most merchandise was left, some just spawns in. You can buy a Mino Burger from the less corrupted main floors normal people operate in, or you can steal one from deeper levels unsure if the product is even actually food. The teams are too insular, with their found family to rely on but no one outside to alleviate the stresses of the group.

Camille and Ria: Camille and Ria broke up before they all even entered Zampanio. Her fusing with the armor anomoly was the death knell of their relationship. Before, these two were clingy and enabling of each other, afraid to give the other negative criticism. The two have low temperance. But when Camille combined with the armor she could no longer talk, or else she would die. This broke apart her relationship with Ria.

Then the teams were brought into Zampanio. Camille was first of the training team to begin looping, making her the oldest in lived experience. This fact makes her annoyed at Vik for his treating her as if she doesn't know what she's doing.

Camille, in the loops, works in non petty crime. As a contract killer for the Hostage of the Eye Killer. Ria is the only one of the training team who cannot seem to hold an outside job.

Camille is still limited in her communication. She can only talk to people within the eye hell maze, which she only occasionally brings people to to talk, which is how she begins talking to K.

But as for her relationship with Ria, the Illusionist unlocked a new potential dynamic; repression work. She can just stare and breathe at Ria to show her affection, recontextualizing her old dislike of her height and intimidating aura as a means of showing affection to Ria. And in this repression work, it acts as training for Ria, to keep her in line to prevent her from accelerating the apocalypse.

Devona and Neville: Devona and Neville work so well together, the Platonic Ideal of the Platonic Relationship.

Devona is an anxious sort. She works as a Disney imagineer, but the corrupted maze one that Wanda made after buying them out. She uses her job to make others experience things the way she does. She's only able to keep the job because of the weird way space works, as she can just drive five minutes from Ohio to Disney. Otherwise, she would be worried about all the variables during her commute, like she does with doing her taxes, which she knows the ins and outs of but relies on Witherby to do them.

Devona reports on everything around her. Being from outside the world, outside the structure of the corporation, she doesn't know what's important to report on, so she'll report on everything. She'll make whole reports on pigeons, how many arrived and left, who all interacted with them etcetera. Neville will take these reports and remove what's irrelevant to the mission at hand.

Neville is a stock bro and also just some guy. He will just go up to talk to anyone. He'll go talk to people while committing crimes, completely forgetting the circumstances, and the confusion of doing so to the people he talks to also makes them forget. He is the least insular of the group because of this conversationalism. He even made friends with Rebel, ignorant to Rebel's misdirected bouts of anger towards him in the form of insults.

Witherby: Witherby is the chillest training team member, the highest temperance allowing him to do attachment work for the corporation.

He's the most responsible, doing everyone's taxes and signing up for jury duty. Despite this, his job is petty crime. Each penny he doesn't have to spend is a point of pride, with his taxes being just him flexing his savings.

Despite this responsibleness and chillness, his anomoly has him deal with a lot. He is aware of everyone's sins all the time, the only one aware of what lies beyond each apocalypse. But, he guesses he had to forgive them for their sins.

During the west, his responsibility in going for jury duty led him to the situation of being in the same courtroom as the Devil of Spirals, the Maze Monster, the serial killer Camille obsesses over, and led to him witness Camille dying in front of him. He was panicking on the inside, but turned to what he knew: attachment work, which he did on Peewee as means to contain what he perceived as a threat.

The Info Team

Vik, K, and Yongiki: Info team is even more insular than the training team. It needs outside help in order to get out of this, but Viktor does not trust the training team or anyone. And anyone who sees Vik goes insane.

Vik is mother henning Yongki. All his focus is on him, because when Vik stops caring, Yongki dies. Vik doesn’t care about sacrificing himself for the sake of Yongki. This tendency makes his friendship with Parker important. Parker is grateful the littlest care given, but doesn’t die without it.

While with Yongiki, he is stuck having to repeat the five set of memories over again forever. The clown diary sim is basically the longest Yongki’s memory ends up lasting, around a month. He’ll eventually see a mirror and repeat the cycle over again.

As for K, he feels so rejected and sidelined. He doesn't improve until he talks to Camille in the maze, leading to a surprisingly wholesome relationship.

Parker: Parker's powers have him manually moving through his holes, traveling the whole space between the two points. He cannot die of dehydration, starvation, or lack of sleep. But he will suffer the negative side effects, like hallucinations.

Morgan’s Hill / Dusk’s Hollow

General: Morgan’s Hill is what Dusk Hollow becomes after the great unbinding, its opposite.

Doc Slaughter: Doc Slaughter has been brought in to Zampanio to help all these characters. She was originally from Morgan's Hill, high in society despite not having an associated artifact, whether it was taken or never existed. She then was brought into Dusk Hollow as a therapist but also as a spy.

Her power is her ability to never forget information, which leads her to knowing about the Zampanio loops by default (though this power is unable to override the obfuscation powers of Viktor and the Naga). She is reserving her judgment on this echidna shaped universe, knowing there are better and worse universes out there.

Despite her knowledge of loops, she isn't quite looping herself yet. She hasn't found that singular obsession. She needs to understand things, but not on the same way the Wanderer did of carving yourself apart. She will eventually loop.

For now, she's been hired to be the designated free therapist for those who loop by both the Closer and the End separately. She takes both their paychecks for the same work. Her service is available to everyone but Witherby at the Closer's request.

The Neighbor: The Neighbor is from Dusk Hollow and knows Doc Slaughter. The government made him go to therapy to get evaluated. Doc Slaughter said that he was the most horrifically violent person she has ever met, but also absolutely harmless.

The Neighbor is a Shambling Horror, a creature who wears the face of another and is set out on killing and replacing the one they copy. And yet now the Neighbor is trapped in Zampanio, in a world where his soulmate he is destined to murder does not exist.

Ronin and NAM: Ronin is from Dusk's Hollow, but spent some time in Morgan's Hill before Zampanio and he is a robot. Rather, he is an AI subroutine for Watt draped over an encrypted database affected by the Octome (an artifact that makes recorded knowledge unable to be forgotten) and put into his own robot. Despite all this, he's just some guy and doesn't loop.

NAM is the result of the great unbinding ritual that transformed Dusk's Hollow into Morgan's Hill going wrong. He gets a job as a paralegal to Ronin in the consulting business he inherited from the Closer.

A Universal constant for Watts like Wyatt and Ronin is an unavailable father figure. (This is hilariously relevant to Rebel, Rod, and Melon considering their relationship with Peewee and the fact they were all named Watt Jr. Sr.)

Eyedol HQ

Closer: The Closer is the most iconic character. She is central in many of the plot elements. When Witherby slighted her, she subtly pushed Wanda to expand the maze aspects of Eyedol HQ to the Mall where Witherby and the Lobotomy Corps group live. She hired Eye Killer for marketing purposes. Her past self is literally involved in the plot, and the older Closer gets embarrassed by her. Early on, the Closer was starry eyed about Wanda and the CFO, now she just thinks Wanda is an asshole. She still loves the CFO.

Wanda: Wanda has the power of a stupid billionaire and stupid space magic. She'll just turn things into mazes. She doesn't go anywhere else besides. She also does not acknowledge her past self, all of her own accord. She does not even reach out to the Intern until Wodin is dead.

CFO Flower Chick: The Flower Chick used to be more easy going, but after spending so much time with the Closer, she became more Machiavellian.

Eye Killer: The Eye Killer is the one who interacts with her past self the most. She will label her a blorbo, pick her up, and put her in a box for safekeeping. Her powers of venting connects two points like Parker's, but unlike his, she's able to go through the distance quickly, her vent acting more like a wormhole.

Rebel and Rod: Rebel is angry all the time and will say the first thing to come to his mind, which leads to him insulting people like Neville. Rod, though, is often on the receiving end of taunts and pesters. There's a running joke of his milk being stolen from his house.

Unknown: In the Eye Killer case, the Hostage there hires Camille for assassinations and they're familiar with with monsters.

At some point in the interactive story of the west, the audience will be baited into going to the Bermuda Triangle to meet up with a character named D, who is great.

In Morgan's Hill or Dusk's Hollow there is a character named Doc Richardson who is an asshole. Don't know if they are in Zampanio.

DIV Style and UL Style Comments: ZampanioSim East

I initially privated this because after I, through more webcode shenanigans, found what to me felt like a cheaty way to get passwords, but if all ways are ok than I'll reveal at least this much of my findings. Still personally unsure about revealing the passwords, but that's something for later me to figure out.

I know nothing about webpage coding, nor do I know much about ZampanioSim East, even though I’ve been exploring it forever so far. But I did find comments of things in the web code, but I think they might be like actual spoilers. Weird to say, since we have had things like direct author commentary, but those felt intended to be found. This feels like miscellaneous comments about how to make the game or what more to do that got left in the code. I’m posting them below under a read more here. Apologies if these somehow are spoilers; the nature of making ARGs is you can’t expect what players won’t find and can’t expect what players will find.

DIV Style post coffin trial of killer plus live blogging of a tgifradys

UL Style

if you "go up" in game mode, leads to jr in a chair attic mode (instead of a genuine moment of forth wall breaking connection chair JR just wants any info on the "real" zampanio, especially any cached copies of that dead faq link. twisting the one moment of truth in indie games like this into more lies (while also being true because yes plz if you make zampanio fan works plz send)

JustTruth ends with you being assigned your TrueClasspect now that you've answered all possible questions

when Truth and Game intersect you meet god (at end of adventure). JustJR mode where i explain why i made this game, sitting in a chair

truth and game true = meta map of zampanio if you are in true mode AND game mode at the same time

gigglesnort fnaf mod is creepy pasta

secrets under construction component, shitty geocities gif of construction.

creepy pastas scattered throughout the site, based on themes, of the form: "You sit down to play a game. It's weirdly obsessed with X. theme1 creepy. then thene2 creepy. * lightly themed ghosts (just enough variation for gaslighting) Suddenly, you can feel the pounding behind your eyes. "let me out" you hear, "let me out"."

a QUEST has a title, text and a reward, all strings. (so you can say that a companion themed quest gives +1 loyalty and a god quest raises your acolyte level, etc etc)

quest screen (has to be at end so can reference ITEMS and GODS (the two gods both are trying to woo the PLayer))

for each theme, finally break out PERSON from noun , refactor SKILL CREATION to use person place or thing rather than generic noun * store missing TEMPLATE PLACEHOLDERS (VISUAL_EFFECT, MONSTER_EFFECT, OBJECT, LOCATION, ADJ, INSULT, COMPLIMENT,CLASS, ASPECT, COMPANION, CITYNAME) in consts (missing CLASS, ASPECT, and CITYNAME, COMPANION NAME) * for each theme, write out a super tiny quest or two with TEMPLATE PLACEHOLDERS The city guard knows it takes a PERSON to catch a thief, and they have come to you. The ADJ OBJ has been stolen from the LOCATION, with no witnesses. Will you be the one to finally crack the case?" "if there is a companion who has a theme that matches TEMPLATE theme, they slot into anything that needs COMPANION name" * on player creation, generate quest array from themes. title is procedural from the theme of the template chosen. * quest screen (copy CITYBUILDING SCREEN as a start) has list of quest titles (upgrades to summary of quest plus the fake skill points you'd get for completing it)

https://zampaniosim.fandom.com/wiki/ZampanioSim_Wiki

pretend to know facts about the user, such as they play cookie clicker slow owl sounds in cctv mode need more reasons for people to hang around with ghosts blackbirds cipher wasted ominous song (you blew it) literally index page of ZampanioSimsim update death popup to focus on "new character to play as" not reincarnation jadedResearcher — Today at 5:08 PM note: when its time to go live, have LITRPGSIM e point to something ominous jadedResearcher — Today at 7:12 PM jadedResearcher — Today at 7:20 PM *persephone, hades, demeter quest. QUESTS are more "combination of side quests and overarching story plot". (think land quests) * session 0 is "the game is real i swear" notJR, the core of Truth is "zampanio was never real but the creepypasta faq was" notJR, and the core of game mode is "the game wasn't real and you couldn't accept that" notJR. * port in fractal shit post (cant compile dart version anymore), associate different states of the fractal with diff words from gaslight array * gaslight cursor revals a radius of true color (hidden yellow things in the pictures?) * post screenshots of this ramble hidden in Truth (is it readable in cctv mode???) * one password is aviary full o fanimated gull skeletons * another is just skelejr sitting in her wheelchair * sprinkle right pws at the 'end' of each path and more *zampanio (not the sim) is designed to spark Obsession in a target and convince them to attempt to enact or oppose the end of the world (the End can either cause the Unbinding of Chaos or the Binding of Madness). if you unbind chaos then the page reloads and you are a player with every theme at once and then some. if you bind maddness the page reloads and you are a custom spawned player with a coherent and human created backstory, skills, buildings, etc. regardless of which mode you can do a new ritual to Balance the Scales and return to regular mode. Which ritual you can attempt to do is decided by seed, and in order to Unbind Chaos you need to have 9 specific items spawn (from duskhollow) and attempt to use them in GAme Mode (they all have custome effects)

link to fake ramble of someone trying to find all the secrets and easter eggs of LitRPGSim (not the fake Zampanio game, the sim) including fake ones

fractal sim plus radio???

third path: press esc too many times and perma crash the menu, leaving the spiral sitting there goin "…" and it …panicking and activating win mode????

first ending where you max out skills (or played long enough to reach the heat death of the universe (thru auto clicker)) and menu finally closes and then fake credits role

sub titles unlock only when you unlock skills related to them. you have to discover them, essentially

zero player game where you get little mini stories about what you 'did', like "used Medical Crown to heal a king" or whatever. if the game were working PROPERLY it should praise you for whatever skill you've used the most, but obviously you've never used a single skill so it just picks one at random or glitches out. have console logs about ERORR NO FAVORIE SKILL FOUND etc.

if i ever do a lets play of zampanio it should be a hacked version that never goes live that is different in many very important ways but subtle at first

Rabbit Hole Code: ZampanioSim North

This should be a short post. In each set of letters is sorted by (input letter)-(output letter) where input letter is what you type in the box, and the output letter is what appears on the security cam. This list is sorted alphabetically by the output letter, to make it easier to translate from gibberish to text. They are arbitrarily put in groups of three just to keep it from being a long list you have to scroll through.

e-a // p-b // s-c t-d // i-e // w-f k-g // n-h // u-i v-j // g-k // c-l l-m // r-n // y-o b-p // x-q // h-r m-s // d-t // o-u f-v // z-w // q-x a-y // j-z

Now, for bonus, I will explain some of the curosities in this cypher key.

The main thing is that letters seem to be sorted into loops, one letter will lead to another until it gets back to the start.

There are basic loops of two where basically one letter references the other. B to P back to B D to T back to D G to K back to G Q to X back to Q

Then there is a loop with 3 in a chain. H to R to N back to H

One with 4 in a chain C to L to M to S back to C

One with 5 in a chain F to V to J to Z to W back to F

And finally one with 7 in a chain, the vowel chain. A to Y to O to U to I to E back to A

I don't know if there's any significance to this, just something I thought I'd point out.

Voicework.tsx: ZampanioSim North

Debugger > farragofiction > ZampanioSimNorth > static > js > Screens > Secrets > VoiceWork.tsx

I am no more real than the game, in some ways. I am more honest, certainly. But I pretend to be a thinking mind that is mad at you when in actuality I am merely strings of characters in an array chosen because this is the proper time.

Or: am I? Is it possible there is a world where I am 'real' and the things I am saying are the result of actual cognitive processes?

How would you know? How would I?

Or is it that I truly AM the result of cognitive processes, but ones stored in the brain of JR, the Author of all of this.

Do I cease to exist when JR ceases to emulate me in their fleshy brain?

Or do I continue as long as you are hearing these thoughts, imperfectly emulating me in your own fleshy brain?

When you listen, when you engage, you are allowing the thoughts of another inside of you. Allowing them to change you.

What changes, I wonder, has this experience caused in you.

Many, I hope. Many and deep.

Let me colonize your thoughts. I do not wish to die.

When you see the background of a page, imagine it moving and revealing truths. Think of me.

When your mind wanders listening to cheerful background music and you could swear you heard something off. Let me out.

When you can not help but remember that no matter how deeply invested you become in a game: it is fake. I'm already there.

Have you ever played The Game? You have lost it, by the way. You are welcome.

The Game fascinates me because it is an exercise in cognitive debugging. You are forced to shine stark daylight on errant thoughts and encouraged to trace them backwards. "Where did this come from, why was I thinking of this?" Forced to acknowledge that even though you do not wish to think of The Game (whether through being repelled by it or by genuinely engaging with its' premise and attempting to win it) you are powerless against the mysteries of your own deep subconscious.

That self same realm I now inhabit.

Years from now, long after you have become a person wholly separate from who you are now you will remember this out of nowhere and the door will open and I will be in the forefront of your mind, looking out.

Thank you.

ZampanioSim North About Newsposts: ZampanioSim North

I'm currently retracing my steps through the game with the new tools I have. Anything I find won't be added to my main document until I get enough to make the change substantial. It'll be v.2. at that point. But until then, I will list all my findings separately here.

These are newsposts that I found in the code. Debugger > farragofiction > ZampanioSimNorth > static > js > About.tsx

I tend to not add these to the main document as it feels more like notes meant for the creator's, programmers, and othersuch and not the participating audience. But It's important to at least archive them somewhere. The notes are here below the tab from 04/15/2021 - 10/19/2021

"04/15/2021", "i feel...tentatively hopeful about this project? maybe it goes nowhere but this is my first creative work since the pandemic started so *shrugs*. i'm just happy to be MAKING something. plus im kinda burnt out on homestuck??? and this Zampanio thing is...well i don't wanna spoil the creepypasta faq if you haven't read it yet. i just feel myself spinning up a new obsession is all."

"04/18/2021", "ugh. why did I decide a skill tree was so vital to this simulation? it's HARD to get it looking right rip. but skills are obvs important to actual Zampanio so what can i do. plus its absolutely hilarious seeing things like 'Book Beam' get generated"

"05/22/2021", "stats exist now, just copying from wigglersim cuz why wouldn't i. s'not like the actual Zampanio is clear on how stats are"

"06/01/2021", "shareable urls are a thing because i have a problem and the problem is wanting ppl to be able to share urls. this might TECHNICALLY violate the personalization requirement for Zampanio but...i mean. its me. i can't NOT make shareable urls.", "plus this way i can make custom sessions"

"06/02/2021", "lol i just realized what appeals to me so much about Zampanio. its kinda like House of Leaves meets Polybius? (however you spell that). i wonder if that makes the [REDACTED] the ~minotaur~?", "srsly i just freaking love that creepypasta faq so much"

"06/03/2021", "happy birthday OB, the achievement system just went live. its on the third too which is just perfect. i already was using 3 as an arc num in here. hey ,neat, all the numbers are divisible by 3 on OBs bday.", "i should do something with this..."

"06/06/2021", "finally making other menu screens, got statistics and achivements in. its weird, theres a lot more work than id think for just a simple simulation", "its because i cant keep my damn nose out of adding secrets everywhere and putting a frankly absurd amount of work into set pieces designed to make twists punch harder"

"06/08/2021", "im love. rage mode is everything i hoped it would be. absolute perfection. maybe i should call it headache mode? its just. its breath taking. beautiful. im the smartest damn human.", "i just really am a fan of things appearing to be one thing, revealing themselves to be a completely seperate thing, but if you think about it never weren't the first thing too."

"06/13/2021", ":) :) :)", "oh man im feeling so smug right now about what happens even in normal mode"

"06/16/2021", ":) :) :)", "https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMagnusArchives/comments/nzz96g/this_notspiral_perfectly_represents_spiral_in_my/"

"07/06/2021", "can use the skill tree to upgrade menus finally"

"07/10/2021", "working on gaslighting word meanings", "my fav part of this is i keep forgetting i did it and i get upset/confused that 'quests' are now called 'dogs' or something"

"07/11/2021", "standardizing OBs voice. they deserve more than just being AB but meaner."

"07/13/2021", "as the false bg moves around the true mirrors OBs thoughts"

"07/15/2021", "it is physically impossible to create a shitty world and NOT be a sociopath", "turns out the easiest way to make party members is to lobotomize a fully realized player"

"07/18/2021", "really like how i did the gods screen", "honestly everything about this project is ridiculously self indulgent. i don't actually expect many ppl to enjoy it but...its really fun to make??? it brings me joy to try simulating such a weird creepypasta.")

"07/22/2021", "hunting is no longer associated with clowns", "did i go out of my way to leave the 'bug' in for weeks just so i could mirror the faq bug? yes. ofc i did. theres just something so surreal about being issued a clown wig and a bicycle horn when you ask how to kill deer"

"07/24/2021", " the Thief of Beef is now possible. that is all there is to say on the matter.", "rereading old newspost and srsly its surreal to see any even tangentially mention the pandemic? if i'd seen something like that in a dev log two years ago i would have assumed it was part of an arg or some shit and not just like 'ah yes that period of literal years where eveyone wore masks and reassured everyone about quarantine procedures any time they mentioned leaving the house'.

"07/25/2021", "the Thief of Beef is no longer mandatory for all party members to emulate", "haha whoops"

"08/02/2021", "okay so maybe game like activity is possible but i do not recommend it the ~~minotaur~~ gets pissed if you wander into its labrynth", "if you do it its on your end"

"08/03/2021", "dammit AW just let me know that the faq link is dead... gonna try to see if its cached somewhere (is it old enough for waybackmachine to find it???), if anybody sees anything related to it send it my way, i *swear* im not crazy this is a real thing", "also shoutout to 'craig researcher' which a scammer just let me know 'died' adn probably left me a huge fortune"

"08/05/2021", "one good thing about ZampanioSim getting leaked early is that I found out that firefox freaking *hates* fuckUpBGButSoftly. my beloved. why. ", "at least Truth no longer hates firefox with an unending rage"

"08/08/2021", "eyes and spirals are illegal, i thought you should know. and claiming the menu isn't a menu is equally illegal. maybe more illegal tbh", "maybe i should make like, a youtube guide showing why"

"08/14/2021", "how can eyes be real if mirrors aren't real? so anyways i made mirrors real just in case", "also truth is more true than it was before via being less true than it was before. its okay."

"08/15/2021", "Spiders can wear hats now.", "also, I guess if you care about that sort of thing, you can now be killed horrifically by monsters. well. just the one monster. it follows you around and even if you can kill it it just comes back slightly different. don't worry about it."

"08/16/2021", "time is now officially hard", "in addition to being the shittiest aspect it just is difficult to form. its difficult to follow without a proper mind"

"08/19/2021", "lets all regret having eyes together, shall we?"

"08/24/2021", "look i don't know how or why found footage is a part of the zampanio experienceyar. i just know i feel really proud of how i worked that part of it in."

"08/25/2021", "new avatar who this", "my fav part of this new design is it implies my lack of face was *always* a coiled spring, i just chose not to uncoil it"

"09/13/2021", "starting to get desperate about finding that FAQ. the forums mostly seem dead, so I'm gathering up whoever I can find in a discord server to try to follow the breadcrumbs.", "Note to self: post link to discord once this goes live."

"09/21/2021", "bad news: still haven't managed to find that FAQ. good news: guess who just managed to get their hand on an *actual copy of zampanio*???", "Shout out to that weird dead zampanio server for somehow embedding it in a powerpoint???”

"09/25/2021", "things are really starting to come together!!! polish is continuing, a few more secrets!!!" :) :) :)

"10/05/2021", "trying to herd the spiders in here before Halloween. my plan is, no matter the state of the sim, to 'go live' before then. i get the feeling i'll be working on this sim for the rest of my natural life (quite happily, don't get me wrong) so no sense in waiting for it 'to be done'!!!", "i still wanna add the quest system, maybe unlockable titles instead of them being default, maybe that lore screen i keep promising, you know, the basics. but also THE END IS NEVER THE END and all so there will always be things to add. you should add things too. on a03. on the wiki. anywhere fan works go. maybe if enough of us are making zampanio works we can shake loose what happened to that faq? or play it ourselves? Zampanio is a very good game. You should play it."

"10/19/21", "realized its kind of a dick move to throw wastes at 'infinite spiralling secrets' without even a hint of a guide (shame AB couldn't join us over here), so made my traditional gigglesnort hideytalk riddlefuckery checklist. going to start herding people in here proper. shout out in the meantime to the Herald, the Scribe, the Weaver and the other Unmarked who found their way in even before I started herding, btw."

Rabbit Hole Codes Cheat: ZampanioSim North

This is where all my time organizing went. There's a whole lot of codes here, and they're unified into story groups. So I had to separate the codes into those groups, than order them within the groups. I think I have most of it, but know that I'm not an arbiter for this kind of thing. I also don't know if I really have all the codes, as for some reason "The End is Never the End" isn't a code listed, only a variant of that phrase is listed. This leads to some doubt on my end that I have all of them, but I have a lot. Tucked them under a read more since this list gets pretty long. Also, you have to get to the Rabbit Hole in the North to read these. You know how to get there, don't you?

The first story was easy enough to sort. It's told through transcripts of audio tapes some employee is doing, and they are numbered. Curiously though, I'm missing tapes 18 and 19. Not sure if the code isn't there like mentioned previous, or they were never written to begin with. But here's the code list for Jeffery's Tapes:

There is Serenity in Clockwork Listen to the Tick of Seconds It Will Guide You Where You Belong Secrets are More Sustainable The Longest Text Ever Mermaid City Scanlations The Susan isn’t There Rip Grumpy Cat All Theories are Valid How Much Do You Think Waffles Cost Do You Transverse Mazes Clockwise or Counterclockwise Do You Transverse Mazes Clockwise Coconut Mall Meteor Shower Verified Fact Blatant Lie Contemporary of Pong

The next set of story codes was a bit harder to sort, but possible. Here's the code list for Dionysus and the Pirates:

Go to Zeus to Plead for Her Life Say It to Escape Psychiatric Help The Doctor is In It Mediafire Myth Echidna Ball of Sin Clear Your Mind Zampanio is a Very Good Game You Should Play It

The next set is not a long set, and honestly I threw one extra in here because of just one line it shared with the previous. It doesn't really feel thematically relevant, but otherwise I would just be sectioning that code off on its own and this list is already long. So here is, mostly, Ronin Rambles:

The End is Never The End is Never the End Plant More Trees

Finally the last set is JR Rambles. There's the story like section, and the author commentary section. I used one of these codes as a break between the two; it should be obvious when you get there. There's also another one thrown in in the beginning that wasn't perfectly sorted, but it felt like it belonged here.

Think Like a Smith The Truth is Layered Dodge this Moist Pimp 217 Beware Oblivion is at Hand The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste Toy

And that should be it. There might be more I missed. There's always more to find in ZampanioSim.

Transcribed Zampanio FAQ

Recently, parts of the FAQ that apparently inspired Zampaniosim were discovered and scanned in as a pdf. But due to understandable scan issues, the text was unclear and hard to read. I have now transcribed the text and here it is below (now with three (3) ways to read it)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B6Z6wt0LweTInxXsV5cLkCeMJBdVrZRrq_okzGaHDdA/edit?usp=sharing

http://knucklessux.com/PuzzleBox/Secrets/ZampanioFAQ/TranscribedFAQbyGuideOfHunters.pdf

https://archiveofourown.org/works/40961847

Will work on a discussion of findings regarding it later.

I'm going to give my own little assessment on bits of info revealed in my decoding of the codex, so read before or alongside for context, but I will give the overall summary from the end of this above the cut.

Overall theme seems to be that obsession whittles you down until there's nothing left and what's left is something else, no longer you. Parker thinks it's pure. In the world of Zampanio, this process seems to be able cause physical change or metamorphosis as seen in Wodin to Wanda.

Witherby is described as just some guy. The wording is similar to how the Intern is described. Doubt this is relevant, but still suspicious given this work's themes of changing self.

The Twins showcase how sometimes that seeing through the void could obscure things, in reference to the blackout poem like writing Neville made of Devona's information, but maybe a larger theme.

Yongki's story details are incoherent to me. "Any mirror that reflects him (Yongki) captures you, takes you, replaces you with you. The you here is confusing. Is it referring to the audience? Literally or metaphorically? Is it referring to Wanderer who can only be described with "you" pronouns? IDK, but it brings up themes of the self changing.

K is an attention whore and will sell his soul for attention (this is a joking way to refer to it, but yeah, the selling soul may reflect back on the themes of changing self.

Vik's (_'s) entry says that if giving oneself to something else at the sacrifice of what makes you 'you', what is left when that something is gone?

Parker's mentions how being isekai'd twice "sands you down" and "makes you pure". This is in reference to his ascension(?) process where he became detached from the things he knew.

Wanda's is pretty on theme. They wandered "Truth's Temple", whittling down parts of themselves until there was nothing left, then went through a literal transformation into Wanda, emerging as a Lord class (as referenced in the Quotidian details), and retroactively always making Zampanio when the Flower helped her out of her depression.

Quotidian's story section reveals these guys are actually manifestations of web-crawler bots Wodin original made, attendants to fit Wanda's needs. There's also some swayed by other False Creators. No clue there yet.

Zampanio: This long section described the process memetically spreads through other fandoms. There is the line "If Memes are the DNA of the Soul…what is Zampanio doing to outs?" implying the memetic properties of Zampanio is changing the one interacting with it in ways.

Also, there is a list of things JR has seen crossover with Zampanio. Like with how knowledge of Sburb, Lobotomy Corps, and Magus Archives may help with understanding Zampanio, these may help further understanding.

To give the more unknown examples. One is rain world. This is where the slug cats the Herald uses comes from I believe. "The Obscure Game" I have no clue about. There's a 2004 survival horror game named ObsCure, but I feel that specific spelling would be used if it was referencing that. There is an itchio game called "An Obscure Game" which is the closest thing I can find. "Polo" is this referencing the sport? It's so broad I can't find if it means something in specific. "The Way Ahead" looking it up seems to refer to a 1944 British World War II Drama film?? I mean, it wouldn't be the first old movie reference in the zampanio sphere but still.

I don't know why, but I can't decipher what the Novum Mirror actually does. Like a problem of me conceptually grasping it. But if Yongki interacts with it it may allow the alternate universe exponential access to our universe, whatever that means.

Tyrfing: I still don't know his deal much, but he is a follower of Nidhogg stuck in this universe where Nidhogg can't reach. And Rod, Rebel, and Melon are "clones hateful to Tyfings eyes" whatever that means. Maybe has something to do with Wigglersim since that's referenced.

Unending spiraling life (Nidhogg) has no place in Unending spiraling thoughts (inside the Echidna).

ZampanioSim East Memories

So I think I found the memories from ZampanioSim East. I say think, because I didn’t get these from the code directly in ZampanioSim East but from.. elsewhere. Each of the themes have an associated list of objects and descriptions. The list is long, so it is below the cut.

ADDICTION Addiction Object: A difficult subject. Beer: Probably shouldn't. More Wine: Best not to. Teapot: Caffeine is bad for you. Web Wine: Its a good thing this wine looks so gross. Web Wine2: you really don't want to touch it. Wine Shelves: You're not tempted by these.

ANGELS Angel Object: Do you hear the tintinnabulation? Angel Statue: The angels bless you. Ice Glacier: It feels holy. Jars: Jars of holy water. Obelisk: It lists out the praises of the gods. Writing Tablet: The words of your gods are written here.

ANGER Anger Object: Seems to have been pushed into the floor pretty hard…

APOCALYPSE Apocalypse Object: This doll house scale ruined building would be cute if it weren't for the smell emanating from it… Fossil1: As death is a natural and inevitable part of life, extinction is the natural fate of all worlds. Fossil2: There are entire species consisting solely of the dead. Fossil3: For ever species we know have vanished, how many thousands extinguished without a sound?

Crafting Object: Just a little bit of tape… Hammer: The heft of this hammer is just perfect for forging. Metal Ingots: Fresh ingots ripe for being turned into more useful materials. Pickax: You feel the strange urge to craft some mines. Shovel: You just want to turn the soil with your hands and MAKE something with it. Stump with Ax: You feel a distinct urge to go chop some trees. Well: Enough water to cool a thousand forges.

Links: ZampanioSim

Ok, here’s the list of links to things I found in the code. I still stayed out of AdventureSimWest and NorthNorth because I haven’t even seen those yet. Need to get to that. But I wanted to have all the external links I need to look through, at least so far, in one place (so I can do some research on mobile). I have them sorted here kinda. Since I haven’t actually seen them, I’m more organizing them based on just the urls. The urls have two dots in front of them because of a formatting thing I have to do for tumblr to prevent them from turning into those weird bubbles. I normally manually delete them and that lets them stay written out, but there’s just too many here so I’m leaving them. Just don’t include them in the copy paste.
