I'd like to clarify some stuff real quick, since it seems a decent amount of people have come to incorrect understandings from this video. My level of involvement with the creation of Milton Math Games is nothing except for my voice role. I have not confirmed any story details or theories with the creator, and I am not in any discord server or group related to its development. I don't know the story! All of the analysis in this video is my own! I also planned on making this video a LONG time ago, before I became friends with the series' creator. Hopefully that clears some stuff up!

Just had an idea for a more lighthearted series idea. Some person makes/tries to recover a website but is impeded by a demon or other supernatural entity. Instead of just not noticing his videos and website text being changed, they take notice of this and make it their mission to find the entity and make it stop. It goes from both sides trolling the other, to a fist fight between the poster and entity. Absolutely no horror value whatsover, just a flame war between a ghost in the machine and a very irritated user.

I have a theory about where Jamie's body is. I don't know if all the details line up, but it would make sense to me for Jamie to have died in the same car crash that injured Charlotte. If his body was thrown from the car (this crash was severe enough to leave her hospitalized and "lucky to be alive") and landed in the woods, he might not have been visible to first responders. Charlotte doesn't remember him, so she wouldn't be able to tell anyone to go looking for Jamie's body. If Charlotte and Jamie were too young to drive, Jamie wouldn't have told his parents where he was, so they wouldn't know to look for him in proximity to Charlotte.

the original image appears to be a brain scan showing dawson's fingers, which are lesions (scars) in the brain of a person with multiple sclerosis (an autoimmune disease where a person's immune system attacks their nerves' sheaths, causing nerve damage and a whole host of issues) and are often a diagnostic marker for MS. the image is on a website meant to be an archive for the australian family physician, which was the peer reviewed scholarly journal of the royal australian college of general practitioners (or RACGP for short) from 1971 to 2017 before another journal named the australian journal of general practice (or AJGP for short) took over in 2018. the image is specifically in an article about MRI brain imaging and what to look out for in them to diagnose different conditions like: - stroke - aneurysm - cerebral infection - glioblastoma (cancer that starts in the brain and/or spinal cord) - schwannomas (tumors that grow in the nervous system) - frontotemporal dementia

I love the concept of a lost media aggregation being intertwined with a missing persons case by having someone trapped within the media itself and being unable to properly rest until someone's finally solved it. My theory is that not only was Jamie a part of the crash, but that Charlotte was trying to show him how to drive since she had Just gotten her license. But after the crash, because Charlotte was so grievously injured, it's likely Jamie didn't realize just how badly he was hurt too, but was the first to wake up. He didn't understand what was happening, didn't know Charlotte was hurt so bad, got lost in the woods trying to find help or get a hold of where they were, and then succumbed to his wounds in a remote part of the woods near where they crashed. This theory comes primarily from Jamie's wording implying he was involved in the accident in some way, and the site itself being based around, well, teaching kids. He was at a point where he was learning a lot of things, potentially how to drive.

As someone who grew up with a Wii, when you gave the “loud unpleasant noise warning” I knew EXACTLY what was coming. Never thought that godawful crash noise would be nostalgic to me, but here we are lol. Love your content!

I love that you’re using your platform to give visibility to small creators/people you care about. That being said, I found Milton Math Games to be a little lack luster in multiple ways. But no shade I’m glad there’s more arg art out there

I love how the loading screens are clearly inspired by Club Penguin, right down to the blue gradient background and loading spinner. Also, as a web developer, I can see that the source code of the website is… well, questionable at best. (I mean, come on, just look at that spacing!) I mean, I guess it fits the theme of “developers who don’t quite know what they’re doing”…? I dunno.

@sheebuhenu4074 I don't actively seek out new channels. I almost didn't even subscribe to minaxa. I tend to just stick with the channels I've been subscribed to for years. I also don't really engage with other fans of things I like because fandom culture was a mistake. So at minimum, I probably saw their channel in my feed one day and immediately went "don't recommend channel" without even thinking on it. At max, I have never heard of them or seen them.

As much as I want to enjoy this ARG, I can't, at least not as an ARG. It's not an ARG, it's an AR Story. There is no game, there is no mystery. You are not given crumbs to piece together, after only the second video, you already know the most important informations, and for the next infos to come, you aren't given any hint or anything until the information is given, removing the need to establish theory. In addition to that, they made a few mistakes about flash games: having 3D transition (when he walks the hallway) is pretty advanced stuff, not the kind of things you find in unassuming games. For games of this quality, you would generally get no transition between screens Same for the good quality voicelines. Flash games often had poor quality voice or no voice at all, recording voices at the time wasn't that easy. There were professional voice recorders in the scene, but they were generally focused on flash animations. Games generally either didn't use voice, use stock voices or voices from the creators using whatever mic was on their computer/headphones (generally so bad in tone and quality that it's funny). The only exception was if the game absolutely needed voices, but it isn't the case in this ARG. Whatever the teachers say could be written. Especially since it was a quizz. Either the quizzes only contained a few questions (thus barely replayable) or you needed to record voices for all questions. In opposite to Lacey's games or ChezzKidsgames, it doesn't feel like a flash game that could have existed. For example: why is there a need for server? The game seemed to have no online functionality, so the flash game should be part of the page and load just fine. The ARGs of flash games work because they tell that the sites where the games were hosted went down, not that only the games refused to load; because flash games were inserted directly into the page (making it possible to easily download the game, reason why so many flash sites stole flash games from others sites). Except for the multiplayer flash games (mostly MMO), once the game loaded, you could cut out internet and it would work just fine. I really want to enjoy it, I like the characters design and the synopsis, but it's just slightly interesting , nothing more, IMO.

Its a really cool series, the character designs are very pretty and i can really see how much fun the creators had making it! Sadly it feels like all the other ARG out there. > Kid-realted media that seems innocent, accompanied by cute characters. > Oh no! It's not innocent! > Loud noises, glitches and distorted images. > Dead kid appears. I get it, its not easy to make a story; but some things can't make me get immersed on it enough (like the constant repeated jokes, or the references to other media) when i try to ignore the repeated themes. Overall, i wish the creators the best and hope they improve in their future projects :)

Thank you for this unregistered hypercam 2 tutorial very helpful.

ok this was probably unintentional but i NEED to get this out at 13:34 when tobee tries to call the player a superstar but got cut off by that glitch, the "star" sounds like it cuts to an extremely crunchy audio of a man screaming *"STOP!"*

ARGs that are entirely done through online means I can understand, especially those that are considered to be “mainstream” or are trying to gain popularity. It’s statistically harder to make an analog series or an ARG styled series without some sort of character or mascot unless they are previously well known. Something like Cicada for example doesn’t necessarily have a mascot, while the ARGs for something like Bioshock or Gravity Falls are technically centered around a specific person. It’s about reach and affordability, really. There are a TON of ARGs that are offline-centered that don’t follow this “mascot” trend, it’s just about knowing where to look. If you’re speaking of analog series on the other hand, I entirely agree.

Man I gotta say I absolutely love the addition of The Smiler. It's SO reminiscent of The Webkinz Killer and as a very normal person that played Webkinz in my childhood and still sometimes plays even today, it made me so weirdly giddy to see it!

I love this ARG thing but I hated it in the beginning cause he kept saying how it was the most epic thing he’s seen

During science class (Which I’m not sure if you saw this cut),In the “Ravens experiments” when raven is telling Ronnie her colors. There’s a text that appears near the help button for a SPLIT second,The screen goes black that says “Someday, I’ll be found”. Which is either Jamie trying to contact Charlotte once again through the mini-game,I almost missed this in the video! Though it had that weird sound for a moment. Luckily i did catch it!

do not remind me

bro i went on the site and typed "charlotte" and the sound effect scared the living god outta me 😭😭 Also cool vid

This is pure creepy gold! 🤩⭐️. Can the next episode be about the deep dive of Kinetopet horror game.

I had never heard of Milton Math Games until I saw this video, which I saw in my recommendations. I like that one dog with the glasses, though, cute design.

..i didnt expect to hear Hawaii Part II amazing album AND amazing video as always!

It’s really cool that you voiced one of the characters! You Went from just covering digital horror to taking part in it. That’s awesome!

I've barely gotten through a fourth of the video (I do not intend to finish it bc tbh im not interested at all), and honestly? MMGA seems not very good. As some one else has pointed out in the comments, the references and memes are extremely out of place, the story and concepts are nothing really new, and it feels like everything was a bit of an after thought. The references are egregious to me, how am I supposed to take this story and arg seriously when there seems to be like 20 different and obvious easter eggs/references to media (media not relevant to or present in the 2000s-2010s) per episode? I can't say I've ever experienced an early 2000's flash game website, but I played a lot of flash games throughout the 2010s. I say that to mention how MMG is most definitely to me not a website with edutainment themed flash games. It feels more reminiscent of an edutainment /software/, like iStation. Another thing is how much it feels like a series that's more interested in giving people nostalgia than an interesting, new, and researched story. This one is just my hot take but making the fake series game site into an actual website is pretty bad to me. I thought MMGA's lore was that MMG is a lost website, with the channels in-universe creator, trying to archive pictures and videos of it so that it won't be lost forever, and presenting the story to us that way. I feel like us, the audience, should be engaging with this story through the information only the videos provide (there's definitely exceptions, I'm just saying mainly through the videos). This feels like a story made a middle schooler. What I mean by that, is that a) it is unoriginal, simply a mishmash of overdone and popular tropes, b) lacking any kind of fore thought and adding everything that comes to mind, and c) amateur. As a former middle schooler and bad writer, I understand these things and know that you have to start somewhere even if it's bad. It's how art and their artists grow and evolve over time. Improving stories and abilities through practice and putting things out there. I hope the creator(s) continue what they do, sincerely. I also hope they get lots of /constructive/ criticism that help them improve their craft.

Yeah it's so cookie cutter, all these ARGs are the fucking same. Usually I just watch them as the equivalent of comfort food but I'm getting tired, to the point where the first PLEASEHELPME message just make me sigh & laugh. and the calling out to a specific name, good lord

not to mention the fact that this video was basically only made out of nepotism and you have a bad arg on your hands (definitely not Urbanspook levels of bad but COME ON it’s so predictable)

I love Milton so much!!! The glasses , the voice and the design just..!!!☺️☺️ I love and can’t wait it to see more

Google returns the text of the website, so someone “trapped in the website” could effectively alter the search results by altering the text of the page at the time google caches it.

20:30 this vaguely reminded me of riddle school and that was a huge blast to the past. Who else here played riddle school while you were in class wishing you could escape too?

Bro I knew EXACTLY where you were going with that Hawaii joke at 23:53

I watched this video while cleaning my shower. I really enjoyed it. I understood everything that wad happening when without looking at the screen, and for that I commend you.

I feel like this story could benefit from more subtlety. The first episode came out swinging, which is fine for most genres, but it removes the slow-burn aspect of digital horror that is such a strong point in similar works. I am not saying that Milton Math Games should have been more in line with other ARGs, but there is a reason why I and many others associate that slow buildup with great horror. The art and nostalgia is on point and I would say that this series excels in those categories especially, but it just isn't enough to counteract the fact that I keep getting fed too much exposition. If the author of the series makes anything in the future, and I hope they do, I hope they will utilize their artistic skill and technological knowhow to make something a little more suspense building.

god damn, this series is so cool. i have to commend the commitment to the websites too, its such a great layer of interactivity. i'm rly excited to see more of this too! loved ur video!!

oh god nepotism

Been sharing for this vid watched the live stream and it got me hyped love the work

Petition for minaxa to cosplay the racoon janitor on his next Milton video

Milton is so 💅 Minaxa falling for the furry fox boy (I love the character designs and art)

A whole hour of good content from Minaxa, what could make this day even better?😆

just visited boulder , colorado. thanks youtube for recommending me this video, i feel so safe rn😛

now I haven't watch the arg yet but just from this video it feels like jamie need more of a character cause i feel almost no emotional attachment to them not really giving me a reason to care about their death now i think the later parts did fix that a bit but it still needs more like a flashback or smth from before jamie died just to make them feel like a real kid that isnt just a spooky sprit trapped in a website talking with someone that used to know them, but other wise it very, also good video it was very informative and interesting (sorry for like the shit grammar and spelling lol)

right? like... i'm sorry, but when op said, "this might be the coolest sequence i've ever seen in an online horror series," i couldn't help but think, "are you saying that because your friend made it, or have you just not seen a lot of unfiction?" because every facet of this project feels incredibly derivative and half-baked, at least to me. the corny, overdone premise of, "help me! i'm a dead kid stuck in a nostalgic kids' edutainment website with a ~dark twist~!" just doesn't do it for me anymore and the terrible pacing, lack of believability that this could be an actual game, and the way the videos practically beat you over the head with constant s.o.s. messages and spooooky audio and visual glitches only compounds that. i'm not trying to be mean, but none of the ideas presented here are new and they're also not executed in a particularly unique or clever way, so it just sorta feels like someone's rough draft attempt at replicating lacey's games, chezzkids, or teeny toys without fully understanding what made those series work.

God it seems so familiar but I’m not 100% sure, 2000s UK had Twinkl stuff but I feel like we might have had Dellosa certificates/awards or Well Done stickers, fascinating! Didn’t realise there was a name/company to the style! Just always referred to it as “generic school illustrations” 😂

3:11 I just find myself sighing or feeling thoroughly let down by new digital horror projects I come across, it's already really stale to have the first impression of an 'online browser game/site archive project' be 2 normal minigame segments and then suddenly an OooOOOoOO spOOOOooOoOokY aUUdiIIIooooOoO with chopped up audio that sounds like the microphone of the character gave out with some equally choppy visual that's trying extremely hard to be ominous and scary. In in reality, for me, it just feels so samey and immediately uninteresting. The moment I heard "3 math questions" it was extremely apparent that there would be some weird glitch on the 3rd because there /always/ is. Maybe it's just me being grumpy, but that formula is why I hardly remember Chezzkids Archive, and why it's going to be hard for me to stay engaged with MMG. I'm gonna keep watching and trying to get invested in this obviously, but I wish creators would experiment with the format of digital horror more, or at least branch out a bit with how sinister things are exposed to us. I'm probably just nitpicky at this point and I'm sorry if I was rude with this comment.

24:01 as a person born and raise in Hawaii, I did question about its location (we’re not real)

11:18 you can also see ” i feel fantastic ”

Why don't you try analysing more obscure digital horror projects? Try Nebula & Quasar for example!

I unironically really love Milton's design. It's very well done

43:55 those arts to me seem similar to the "wordarts" that were in the Microsoft Word in the late 90s-early 2000s. I remember there was a lot of them in the program and i was "playing" with them by ungrouping them and messing around with different details.
