- Playing Minecraft with your friends is a lot of fun and is very memorable, but one day a player who thought he was playing Minecraft with his friends wasn't actually playing with them, in fact the friend they believed to be playing with wasn't real and slowly throughout the series AlexSpeaks finds out that this might be the case for him.

"what if something you thought was your best friend was never real"
literally just schizophrenia 💀
Oh yeah💀
FR💀
Maybe he was real, basing on the first episode of doom and gloom, maybe he is his old friend gone to a better life.
'I'm Omar and I'm schizophrenic'
Its not if it is explain why we saw the friend.
I sure do love being really immersed in the story and then out of nowhere, a Despicable Me 4 ad pops out of nowhere and genuinely scares me.
lol
I got an ad about p-07n😭

This guy is a genius for thinking of such an intricate and detailed story. I personally think that Matthew is Alex himself and he is just talking with himself in the form of schizophrenia to feel less lonely. In Alex's video, Matthew types, "And I just can't wake up." but in Donny's video it is Alex who says that which further proves my theory. Truly a mastermind.
Good theory but that guys theory has alot of evidence so it has to be the main one.
that makes sense too, nice theory.
and also when in the black box he types “have you ever wished you could turn back time” where Donny can still see it in the chat
bro its called child imaginatio not schizophrenia
@@joystick520 no?
Just a few things I noticed:
7:25 you mentioned that Matthew was responding for Alex, but that's not how I interpreted it. Seconds earlier, you showed that Alex said he was making the farm FOR Matthew, so I think Matthew was just thanking him for it. That would explain why Alex didn't see it as weird.
18:03 I think Matthew is intended to be portrayed as a friend from school, considering that he said earlier "this school sucks", implying that he goes to the same school as Alex.
28:36 oh. OH. this callback to the beginning, where Alex says "they might as well be dead or something" is what really solidifies my own theory.
Matthew is dead.
I think that Matthew was one of Alex's old friends, from before he moved. It would explain why Matthew seems to know everything about Alex, as well as his relationships with his old friends. Matthew passed away, and that's why Alex began to distance himself from everyone else. Matthew and Alex were best friends, but Alex can't move on. I'm not sure if Matthew is completely imagined, or if it's meant to be interpreted that Matthew is a ghost trying to guide Alex through his grief, but either way, Matthew was never truly there.
It isn't until Alex starts playing with Donny that we see a change in Matthew's character. He becomes transparent. He starts to disappear.
At 22:43, I think it's incredibly significant to note that in game, Alex _died._ And in the black space that came after, Matthew is there, further pointing to the possibility that Matthew has been dead all along.
And finally, starting at 24:15, Alex claims that he woke up. I think this means that he finally sees and accepts the fact that Matthew is gone, especially because, right after that, we have the video where he says goodbye to Matthew, who disappears altogether. I think this truly symbolizes that Alex is finally accepting the truth, and moving on.
I think the whole channel in general may be an allusion to grief, and how one kid in particular deals with it. Maybe the concept of "moving" that we saw in the beginning isn't even in the literal sense, but more in a sense of "moving on", which means that every time Alex remarks on how difficult moving is, or how much it sucks, he may very well be talking about how hard it is to move on from the death of a friend.
But that's just a theory. ;]
There's more I'd love to unpack, like the conversation at 15:53, or any of the other conversations after that between Matthew and Alex, but for now I'll leave it here. Hope someone could gain some enjoyment from hearing my theory. Overall, I find the channel incredibly intriguing :D
amazing toughts, enjoyed every second reading it… i totally agree with your theory, it has so much sense
buts thats just a theory
a game theory..
@@unidenti860 That... That gives me memories... Good memories
I was thinking about this exact thing too. there'd be no reason to talk about and have a big emphasis on friends dying in the first episode or 2 without it meaning something as a whole.
That was my theory too, I was gonna comment it but then I saw your detailed one and decided not to cause it's better than mine

I was thinking that too
this comment reminded me of that one photo of Blackbeard writing. (one piece)
Peacekepper 2 is the schizophrenia arc music 🔥🔥
matthew was blockwinz old dead friend
the last convo they had felt like A grief or some sort that symbolizes a goodbye and to let go of his old past self and to let go of a guilt he has for him....
the last convo actually got me. it felt like saying a goodbye to a dead friend and feeling thanks for his good intentions and good friendship they had.
I just clicked this video thinking that i was gonna become scared and have nightmares but this was actually wholesome asf i wish matthew was real and also when you revealed that the items alex dropped for matthew but it was there the whole entire time since he was not a real person made me tear up 😢
Whoever’s reading this remember God loves you very much!!!! Jesus is King and was crucified, buried, and rose so we can be saved and you can accept Him today🙏❤️💯
the entity feels bad for him. so he tries to keep him company.
Never seen an entity like that
Makes sense
no, hes just schizophrenic
You can't hurt a person, if that person is already hurt
Herobrine the good ending
Matthew is a friend that passed away, and blokwinz feels remorse because the last thing they did was argue over that house. That's their last memory, and they beat themselves up over it. That's how I see it. After all, the tribute to his friend that he wrote at the end really carries the feeling of saying goodbye to somebody you lost rather than some imaginary friend or somebody he just moved away from on bad terms. Matthew also telling him to "be nicer" and such, he's likely blaming himself for the last interaction of his friend alive going that way.
that could explain all the death talk at the beginning!
ok, but how can the viewer see him?
@@yaboifarid5134 Because the story requires it, the narrative doesn't work as well otherwise
@@yaboifarid5134bro doesn’t understand representation 💀
@@Evander_Infected yeah, and maybe the reason we have a POV of nulla is its like him move on and find new people after moving
this storyline is so good, the way they focused on the details and such. Matthew symbolise as a "imaginary friend" towards Alex. when Donny joined the server, Matthew slowly disappear due to Donny's excisting in the server. Matthew slowly disappear in Alex sight, because Alex find a new friend, perhaps a companion. Matthew is just Alex's imagination, Matthew was "created" to accompany Alex, and when Donny joined, Donny are the one who continues to accompany Alex, so Matthew doesn't have a reason to stay, because someone's already accompanying Alex. such a good scripting, I love this.
Or what of Matthew is one of his dead friends? Comforting him until someone joined.
🥲🥲🥲
to me, this just feels like a representation of social anxiety. donny makes "blokwinz" comfortable so it slowly fades away. that would explain the "be more friendly" messages that matthew whispered to them. also, matthew mentionned how scared the guy was about confronting their old friends.
hes skizo
For sure! The fact that his response to strange things in the game is assuming someone is trying to hurt him and building a bunker are more examples.
why matthew dont grant achievment??????
honestly I like that. mostly because as far as I see, every time Nlokwinz talks about something positive Mathew disappears. and when Mathew disappears it could mean that Blokwinz is finding comfort or more happiness. Mathew acts like a subcountious for The player, he acts like a lil oice in his head, not a mean on, but a comforting one, it's like the thoughts of him that he refuses are himself, Find_Nulla acts like the memories and thoughts people hide away and block out in the mind. is like if that makes sense If it doesn't sorry. it's honestly cool, this video is cool.
Agreed
Honestly its heart warming becouse i conect with it
finally, a story with a good ending, honestly one of the best minecraft horror, a story about moving on from the past and being a better person, really loved it
Yeah this one is good. Usually they aren’t believable but this one is kinda cool. Good arg
reminds me of Fight Club
Look closer
"Don't look at the moon" got a good one too, sure depressing but it's a sweet kind of ending
@@v0x712 fr I saw that one
“It’s like he’s slowly fading away” it’s like losing a friend. They fade away from you, very slowly. Matthew sounded like a good friend (if he was real). And when you fade away from someone, it’s just, you might never see them again. This kid made up his own character to make him feel better. But he got real friends, Matthew, he faded away into… nothing. He lost a friend that gave him good feelings. And the thought of drifting away from a friend that you had for a long time is just sad. I can’t fully explain it in words, but it’s sad.
Matthew is such a mistery. It could be interpreted as his old friend, imaginary friend, "notebook", an embodiment of his social fear, or himself. Matthew leaving when player talked about the new project friend who he likes is already a big hint who matthew is. It's already point out matthew dissapear when the player brings up the fact he's starting to like the new environment. It's great to see the player overcome his fears and finally bid farewell to matthew. This video analytic is amazing, kudos!!

Tbh, this isn't a scary story at all, I find it rather sad. The fact that the player introduced himself to a friend to make him feel better and have more motivation to make friends and then he made a friend and matthew then leaves.
Edit: Im so happy? Im not gonna reply to any comment btw.
hes just a schizophrenic guy
Greif stages?
My theory is that matthew was lagging really badly and kept on getting rubber banded 😂
@@Voidflyssa so matthew is liveing in north Korea?
@@supermagician874 Matthew is roshambo
Why was matthew so comforting and nice like he seemed so innocent when his house got deleted😭
matthew is an imaginary friend that is the player practicing how to keep friends, while when the player is with a real person Matthew just becomes their conscience guiding the player to do better and when matthew has finally shown the player a new friend, he is no longer needed then the player tells themself that they have a real friend to talk to now😢
Another thing I noticed at 22:49, in the players POV, Nulla says the quote. In his friends POV, the player says the quote instead. I think that Matthew could also be himself. It could also explain why Matthew is seemingly trying to help, the player is trying to help himself get over the moving. Another thing it explains, is Matthew answering for the Player and comforting him. He’s just talking to himself like you said. Trying to make himself feel better. Like Matthew is himself, trying to make him look at the brighter side.
exactly. Matthew is a the internal monologue / intrusive thoughts of alex in a sense
I suspected it throughout the video and noticed it too…
That Will mess with your mind
Maybe also explains why he has the footage of Matthews pov
I was actually thinking this this but he also doesn't respond to the messages I think he's half dreaming which they were talking about earlier he's talking to his subconscious
The Donny Darko name is a reference and hint to the fact Matthew does not exist, because in the movie Donnie Darko the guy is friends with someone in his head who does not exist
Clever!
Woahh genius
only real ones new the reference
I was about to comment that, but you took advantage
But frank was real he was the manipulate d dead who went back in time to help donnie
Another thing I've noticed is that over time mathew slowly dissappears, shown by him become more and more transparenr.
I LOVE your content, just how you tell a story. Its more like a movie rather than a documentary how you explain, and how you basically tell plot twists
Mathew was fading away as Donny is the players new friend. Just like in real life. Kids can have imaginary friends, but the older the kids get, the imaginary friends start to fade
I used to have imaginary friends but as I got older I started to forget about them and eventually forget imaginary friends are even a thing, until now as you just told me
@@graceluo5531 Yeah, I don't know what it is but the idea of forgeting someone you thought was real, puts a shiver down my spine.
That ending was genuinely great. It's not about a friend leaving. It's about having finally coped with something that happened to you a long time ago and moving forward rather than staying in the past. Donny is his new friend, Matthew was just a figment of his imagination, but Donny is a very real friend.
actually one of the more impactful stories out there, moving around a lot and constantly losing friends is a lot to go through as a kid, I can confirm
@@marsymass moving isnt that bad. whats bad is being told from birth that no amount of work you do will ever amount to your deserving to have necessities, and then every person in eurocentric society living up to that threat until you die before your middle ages because well off eurocentric people get rewarded for causing mass harm to life on earth...
I think alex picking up nulla's gear could symbolize accepting that matthew was a part of alex all along.
It's something that I'm dealing with right now for the past almost 1 year, I moved bc of my parents decision, I miss my friends. The beginning of the video scared me but after the end it almost make me cry, bc of how relate I'm to blokwinz_
@@Unknown-zn3ws stay strong man, you’ll get through it
At first i was getting some spooky vibes because of this ghostly moments and matthew showing up from nowhere, but by the end i got those fellings of wholesome moments, if this is some type of ARG, it is really well made bro, the fact that is not even aiming to the "scary creature on the distance" vibes is just perfect, i wish there where more "ARG's" like this
Tbh i would watch an animated version of this story fr like its sad and wholesome and the ending is bittersweet i would pay for an animated version fr :]
something i noticed about the village part where Matthew disappeared: When the player mentioned in chat that he found a nice person for their group project, that's when matthew went missing, like how in the ending of the video, where the player moves on. You can kinda see it on the village part, but he hasn't fully moved on yet, which is why matthew reappeared later
OMG trueee
like the matrix, you see reality for a split second but then the illusion of the matrix comes back.
Yeah true
This story was so sad fr I can relate so much to this. It brings back memories of my survival worlds where I would just talk to myself for hours and do nothing.
Uhhh bro… u good?
i hope you find someone to play with
i do the same thing
I do that when I need somethin to trade at the villagers
hahahaha lolll
nulla and Matthew are different. Nulla is the person he’s been playing with but Matthew is his friend from before moving that he never really treated right. Blok seems to imagine them as the same person, almost like nulla is the hallucination of his past friend personified as his internal monologue and feelings. Which is why he’s always talking about the past and trying to recreate it and why nulla always tries to ignore it. When Donny joins blok no longer needs nulla because he’s atoning for his past sins with Matthew by being nice to Donny. Hence why nulla tells him to be more friendly and stuff. Blok doesn’t need to comfort him self with the recreation of Matthew through nulla so Matthew fades away as Blok promises to be better..
matthew's leave made me cry because i just hate having to lose someone youre close to even if it seems like he isnt even real 💔 matthew seemed like the perfect friend, the type of person who just understands you without having to say anything, but seeing him dissappear just like that
dang bro.
I def feel like Matthew was what the player imagined as his old friends. he was lonely and he missed his old friends along with, obviously, not having any after moving. So, he manifested his friends back. Now, the reason I feel like it was his "old friends" was because Matthew knew that he stopped talking to them, at the end, when he meets Donny, the player is starting to forget Matthew since there's no use for him anymore and he started finding happiness. You can also see that he regrets his past because he types "do you ever wish you could've seen the future?" it shows that he regrets not speaking to his friends and wishes he could go back because he never knew he was going to move. at the end, the sign read: "dear friend, I can be better this time, goodbye." was a sign of grief and regret for ignoring and not talking to his old friends. It's basically a "it's hard to treasure what you have until you don't have it anymore." type situation. At the end, he moved on from his past and his old friends, accepting that they are gone and forgiving himself from his mistake and not doing it again. very sad and wholesome story, i did cry 😿😿
Bro is a poetrist
Yeah and its like a imaginary old friend trying there best to give his friend a new friend to help them move on...
i didnt even notice how big this was and everytime i read somthing this big or like a book my vision starts high lighting the parts in between and meshing the words

@@YuR1I_is_A_THERian oml I didn’t notice the read more and I was like “what do you mean"
the thumbnail of this vid is just so..melancholic. matthew glows amidst the darkness of a forest, his head innocently tilted to what seems to be the perspective of our hurting player. w/ the context of the arg, it's incredibly sad but comforting, like how our player found comfort in the manifestation of his loneliness - matthew.
(also, is it just me, or does this arg really remind me of when marnie was there..)
I was watching this video on my TV, and then I paused it for a while. After a short amount of time, the thumbnail flashed up and I got super scared for a second. That's how you know it's a good thumbnail.
You are like the Gametheory for minecraft RNGs
I cannot say anything other than I said in my comment on your last video
I hope to see more of these videos
Especially with stories that interesting, with real life aspect to them
Thank you for this amazing video:)
Its not a horror story its a piece of art. An piece of art about an imaginary friend helping him trough his tough times, an friend that is just in or his head himself. and i love it cause i used to have something simillar the moment Matthew answers himself is Alex thinking to himself its like talking out loud permanently but everytime matthew talks its only in his head and when matthew writes "thanks" its just Alex complimenting himself and thinks to himself thanks that it has gotten so good
It's one of those genres where it's hidden as x. but is actually a psychological horror.
Like for example, you play a story game and it turns into a literal psychological horror with a really terrible ending and a deep message.
Although this one has metaphors and symbolism, and also a deep message.
Ooh, that's so true about the "thanks" reply. Also, I am your 100th like.
@@jaypolas4136agreed
It’s an rpg or whatever they are called, it’s like Daisy Brown
That first video literally almost made me cry. I'm a military child so moving is far from alien for me; I've moved 8 times in 14 years. Although, this last move (A little less than a year ago) was pretty rough. We gave away all three of our pets, and I lost the whole group of friends I had, even the online ones. All of that was in just less than 2 short weeks.
I'm so sorry. I hope everything gets better soon bc I promise you some day things will ❤
This series does a good job of showing the remorse of pushing friends away and ending on a bad note. I hope anybody who needs to will find their Donny.
I’m so sorry :c do you ever want to play Minecraft together
I’m a military child too, expect my parents are divorced so I didn’t have to move as often.
I'm from a military family as well. Lots of moving. I've learned to keep in touch throughout the years, but it's important to value life in the current. Assuming you are around 14, that means you'll be in high school soon enough. My advice to you is, especially as a military child, to take big risks and live life to the fullest. I just finished my sophomore year, and there was still a lot I wanted to do. Live without regrets. Take those risks, get embarrassed, and be happy. I believe in you.
Videos like these about mysterious people and discovering things about them and such is soo entertaining
Holy shit, this is very interesting, and well made.
Its cool that this story can be changed to a wholesome one by just changing the tone/music. ;)
As a writer I can try to explain what I think is going on here.
Essentially the player is upset that he lost his friends and is stuck with his thoughts. Nulla represents those thoughts, a part of the player's mind that is trying to comfort him. Then Donnie comes along and is very friendly towards the player. The player is sceptical at first so Nulla tells him to be nicer and the player starts to adjust to having a friend again. I'm assuming the player has some trust issues due to whatever happened with his friends in the past but in the end he realizes that he's pushing away an opportunity and changes his mind, making friends with Donnie.
Genuinely great story writing if you ask me.
Realll
Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a mental health condition. If you're living with DID, it means you have two or more separate identities. These personalities control your behavior at different times. Each identity has its own personal history, traits, likes and dislikes. DID can lead to gaps in memory and hallucinations (believing something is real when it isn’t). so if you start to connect the dots, the player was a person sad that they moved out and lost all of their friends, thats why mathew was there, they're just a seperate personality our player has from the trauma of whatever happened to their friend, and thats why mathew said thanks to their own compliment, our player was saying that, but its just a mistake in their personality, its just having did, thinking of a friend, and thats why mathew starts to disappear as our player finds a new friend, our player begins to finally cope, and let their old past go, these video footages are the perfect explanations to how systems(people with did) really are like, and i found it geniuenely a beatiful way to raise awareness of it.
this is literally exactly how i saw it lol thank you
Yeah, I thought it was a manifestation of the player's inner thoughts, the ones he tries to suppress, and it may have been a coping mechanism for the player to create a character to talk to.
13:15 mathew is there on the corner when the thunder striked but he's inside
Small little detail: at 22:49, Matthew says "and I just cant wake up" but at 23:42, its actually AlexSpeaks, blokwinz, or most commonly referred to in this video as the player, who says "and i just cant wake up." I'm assuming this continues on as Matthew keeps speaking to Alex, but the messages instead are shown to be typed by Alex. This is very confusing as only Alex can see and talk with Matthew. I believe that during this time, Alex is in a state of somniloquy, or sleep talking. When Donny mentions using a dairy to write down his thoughts, we obviously see that from Alex's perspective, he looks at Matthew and Matthew looks at Alex. Matthew is definitely some kind of imaginary diary that Alex uses since for all of the videos before he meets Donny, he speaks in a morbid way, talking about how his friends may already be "dead" or comparing moving as "the world ending to some nuclear apocalypse." As explained in the video, when Alex meets Donny, Matthew starts to fade as Alex starts to get to know and learn more about Donny. This represents that Alex is starting to feel comfortable around Donny and is starting to talk less to Matthew, as if he's starting to talk less to his imaginary diary. After a bit of time, on the final episode, Matthew looks at Alex as if urging him to let go of him. Alex hesitates for a moment but then gives into reality as he's now friends with Donny and finally lets go of Matthew. Honestly, its a common story as moving is a difficult time for you as you lose contact with old friends and are hesitant to make new friends since you're not familiar with the new place, but the way it was executed was amazing. It was simple but effective.
ts was just me yapping and possibly overanalyzing but still tho it was an amazing story
I didn't even notice, lol
I haven’t read this yet and only is this far but 13:16 you can see Matthew in the background on the corner
The way the video represents it is kinda off tbh, like more towards horror.
When the way I see it, it is more of a sad story, about acceptance/moving on.
(But still the process has horror aspects in it but that's not the main part of the story)
@@padwee3e i think its some sort of arg
Enough yapping
it's like the trauma of making yourself believe that you have someone because of your scar from being left alone by the others and you made matthew your friend that will accept everything you throw at him as your friend and that when he finally disappears means that he got over of that trauma
I love that you’re giving attention to such an underrated story!! Whoever made this must be so grateful
Surprised nobody has mentioned this, but the username “Donnie Darko” isn’t just a random name. It’s actually the title of a film where the main character of the same name is constantly haunted by apparitions of a man in a white rabbit costume who had been recently killed (technically. There’s some time stuff that makes it so the apparition exists before the man actually dies but that doesn’t seem to be the part that’s important to the reference, though maybe there’s some significance in that given they mention time a lot with stuff like the first video asking if you wish things were how they used to be)
I feel like this obviously relates to the situation, where our main character is haunted by these sometimes ghostly looking visions of a friend of theirs with a white Minecraft skin. The main difference is the kid in the video named Darko isn’t the one haunted, he’s on the sidelines watching his friend being haunted, which I feel adds onto the theory that Matthew is actually dead due to him best fitting the rabbit apparition I mentioned
Imagine seeing someone haunted like that. Even people with high level of schizophrenia will be concerned to that

@@jeanremi8384 It was from 2001 it felt like the kind of movie that’d be fine with spoiling, plus how would I mention how it likely ties into this without spoilers?
also, in the episode where Alex dies and respawns in a void with Matthew, Matthew says "and I just cant wake up". but in Donny's perspective, ALEX is the one who says that, that also explains why in one of the the first episodes matthew answered himself.

Love the guys who come up with this
Love these types of videos, and this was a great one! It's almost like the entire happened in a dream and was captured and then translated into a Minecraft world as a way to visualize it.
Matthew is the ghost of his friends and who he was. Not the literal ghost, but the ghost of their friendship. He's the ghost of what our player perspective wanted from his friends at home speaking of both how the player feels as well as how his old friends felt. It's the amalgamation of abandonment and lost hope that brought him to where he is. It's not just a story of separation, but the story of betrayal and abandonment. He could be what he wanted, when they initially met, but turned into something just way more saddening. I can't even explain the feeling, but I can feel it, and that's what hurts the most about this story.
...
I love these allegories and symbolism they're hinting towards here:
There's a very clear "Plato's Cave" allegory shown throughout, where the main player would be constantly inside of a tunnel beneath the surface, hinting towards their fear of going out and making friends / new experiences in a new environment. Matthew could symbolize player's inner thoughts slowly drowning them out, especially when the player is stuck within the dark cube or when Matthew starts personally attacking them through in-game chat. I'd say Matthew disappearing could symbolize the player's overcoming of the mentioned fear. Player leaves his tunnel out into the surface afterwards almost like stepping out of a dark cave into the light.
This one might be a reach, but staring at growing crops and constantly trying to make a farm hints towards the player wanting to fit in and adapt. In the first attempt of him making a farm, they plant down 2 seeds, as opposed to 6 seeds in his last episode, symbolizing that the player is getting used to the newer environment or / and growing as a person.
Building a fence around their home might hint towards the player feeling isolated due to them pushing back their friends and moving to a new place. When you think about it, the main player hasn't really left the fenced home, rather travelling trough tunnels from that place, spying on his friend almost like peaking into the new surroundings. In the last episode he is visibly out of the fence, almost like leaving his isolation and experiencing new things, symbolized by making a treehouse for instance.
Also, pretty sure the Minecraft world symbolizes the new environment itself. It would fit in perfectly, as Michael appears in the world cause it is the only thing the player is left with - his inner thoughts. Every other symbolism I've listed would also match perfectly. The weather to emotion correlation, as listed in the video, would make a lot of sense as well, as the raining weather in this new environment could hint towards the player feeling depressed.
These small details add so much when you take into consideration that this ARG is based on a lot of symbolism right off the bat, spicing things up, almost like it's like a puzzle piece, I love it.
That's a cave allegory, sure, but definitely not a Plato's Cave one. Plato's Cave is about building a distorted ontology by only having access to secondary sources of knowledge about the world, not about hiding from social interaction.
I'm not reading all that
To summarize, It's basically "man scared make friends so schizophrenia help make not scared make friend". @@Dawid5g
Wow,that's alot of words,to bad I ai t reading em
I aint readin all that
The only terrifying thing here is the guys video quality. He found the First Camera.
Although its pretty obvious that you've created these stories, they're still quite entertaining, keep going I'd say!
i think an interesting detail that didn't get mentioned was the fact that blokwins mentions a disagreement over the dark oak roof of the house which is suggested to be the reason that he doesn't talk to his old friends anymore. in the final video donny asks for dark oak, which might have triggered blokwins to finally part with matthew. blokwins realized that donny isn't the same as the people he knew before, and he doesnt have to be afraid anymore. matthew disappearing is probably blokwins finally leaving that 'half-way between state; he mentioned before, and properly coping with moving
In episode 2 Matthew says that he couldn’t get dark oak, so that makes since
Maybe Matthew is actually blockwinz real name, and he gets bullied for it, that's why he said "do you get bullied for your name?"
@@Astrom_Edits well he is talking to himself, just like how donny said that he write his dream and thoughts in a journal.
"Nulla"... that's a great name for the unnatural player as "Null" is a common term in coding and whatnot to refer to when there's not information about something. A way to give a value when you don't have a value for something.
Wow. I commented this and a few seconds later in the video after I unpaused it coincidentally came to the bit about when blokwinz_ asked Nulla/Mathew if anyone makes fun of their name.
Nulla genuinely sounds like a banger name
I do nil. Lua.
Pretty sure that "null" literally means "zero"/"none"
Alright he said it in the video, my bad
The entire thing just hits me at the end instead of when I found out that "Matthew" is a coping mechanism to help out our player. Weird timing but it hits deep, making me want to go back and experience of what was peak happiness playing with old friends.
That was so creepy. I want more Minecraft stories like this!
Matthew was there as an imaginary friend and wanted to comfort the player we watch and help him make friends so when the player actually makes a friend sith Donny, Matthew isn't needed anymore and he fades away.
This is such a wholesome arg❤
But it's minecraft not a realife or its just a play
@@raxebeebut did you learn something?
@@PurpleHead0 there was nothing to learn because everything happened to him happen to me at the past years
@@PurpleHead0 I do relate that but I don't find anything to learn from it as it always happens to me
Yeah
Could be a good sad movie reference haha. You have a friend who has gone, he returns in the form of a spirit. You feel lonely but your spirit friend cheers you up and accompanies you. You make new friends and you are happy. Your spirit friend is happy for you and he just walks away. Like your spirit friend finally got something done from that bond of friendship.
God loves u all
I'm nearly certain I've read or watched something with the exact same premise
The movie “Fall” is literally this
There was a movie about a German kid and his imaginary friend is hitler
from someone else in this comment section that really sums up what it truly might be:
"Matthew is a friend that passed away, and blokwinz feels remorse because the last thing they did was argue over that house. That's their last memory, and they beat themselves up over it. That's how I see it. After all, the tribute to his friend that he wrote at the end really carries the feeling of saying goodbye to somebody you lost rather than some imaginary friend or somebody he just moved away from on bad terms. Matthew also telling him to "be nicer" and such, he's likely blaming himself for the last interaction of his friend alive going that way."
as well as this
"Just a few things I noticed:
7:25 you mentioned that Matthew was responding for Alex, but that's not how I interpreted it. Seconds earlier, you showed that Alex said he was making the farm FOR Matthew, so I think Matthew was just thanking him for it. That would explain why Alex didn't see it as weird.
18:03 I think Matthew is intended to be portrayed as a friend from school, considering that he said earlier "this school sucks", implying that he goes to the same school as Alex.
28:36 oh. OH. this callback to the beginning, where Alex says "they might as well be dead or something" is what really solidifies my own theory.
Matthew is dead.
I think that Matthew was one of Alex's old friends, from before he moved. It would explain why Matthew seems to know everything about Alex, as well as his relationships with his old friends. Matthew passed away, and that's why Alex began to distance himself from everyone else. Matthew and Alex were best friends, but Alex can't move on. I'm not sure if Matthew is completely imagined, or if it's meant to be interpreted that Matthew is a ghost trying to guide Alex through his grief, but either way, Matthew was never truly there.
It isn't until Alex starts playing with Donny that we see a change in Matthew's character. He becomes transparent. He starts to disappear.
At 22:43, I think it's incredibly significant to note that in game, Alex died. And in the black space that came after, Matthew is there, further pointing to the possibility that Matthew has been dead all along.
And finally, starting at 24:15, Alex claims that he woke up. I think this means that he finally sees and accepts the fact that Matthew is gone, especially because, right after that, we have the video where he says goodbye to Matthew, who disappears altogether. I think this truly symbolizes that Alex is finally accepting the truth, and moving on.
I think the whole channel in general may be an allusion to grief, and how one kid in particular deals with it. Maybe the concept of "moving" that we saw in the beginning isn't even in the literal sense, but more in a sense of "moving on", which means that every time Alex remarks on how difficult moving is, or how much it sucks, he may very well be talking about how hard it is to move on from the death of a friend.
But that's just a theory. ;]
There's more I'd love to unpack, like the conversation at 15:53, or any of the other conversations after that between Matthew and Alex, but for now I'll leave it here. Hope someone could gain some enjoyment from hearing my theory. Overall, I find the channel incredibly intriguing :D"
This is all very good evidence to support this isn't just some entity but its actually the grief of Alex instead and the whole story is just his own journey of dealing and coping with it while adjusting to the new environment of moving, as stated here in another message
"I love these allegories and symbolism they're hinting towards here:
There's a very clear "Plato's Cave" allegory shown throughout, where the main player would be constantly inside of a tunnel beneath the surface, hinting towards their fear of going out and making friends / new experiences in a new environment. Matthew could symbolize player's inner thoughts slowly drowning them out, especially when the player is stuck within the dark cube or when Matthew starts personally attacking them through in-game chat. I'd say Matthew disappearing could symbolize the player's overcoming of the mentioned fear. Player leaves his tunnel out into the surface afterwards almost like stepping out of a dark cave into the light.
This one might be a reach, but staring at growing crops and constantly trying to make a farm hints towards the player wanting to fit in and adapt. In the first attempt of him making a farm, they plant down 2 seeds, as opposed to 6 seeds in his last episode, symbolizing that the player is getting used to the newer environment or / and growing as a person.
Building a fence around their home might hint towards the player feeling isolated due to them pushing back their friends and moving to a new place. When you think about it, the main player hasn't really left the fenced home, rather travelling trough tunnels from that place, spying on his friend almost like peaking into the new surroundings. In the last episode he is visibly out of the fence, almost like leaving his isolation and experiencing new things, symbolized by making a treehouse for instance.
Also, pretty sure the Minecraft world symbolizes the new environment itself. It would fit in perfectly, as Michael appears in the world cause it is the only thing the player is left with - his inner thoughts. Every other symbolism I've listed would also match perfectly. The weather to emotion correlation, as listed in the video, would make a lot of sense as well, as the raining weather in this new environment could hint towards the player feeling depressed."
I mean this is genius - the script behind this is brilliant and completely underrated. I love how nulla was whispering to Alex "be friendly" to donny as like a guide or thought. so smart.
from a storytelling perspective, this story is actually so well put together and thought out, its insane how well they pulled this off.
17:13 i think nulla was responding to the message "they stand there and do nothing like a statue", since his friends weren't doing "nothing", they were just confused by him pushing them away and were genuinely concerned.
the village burning scene reminded me of the phrase "a child who is not embraced by the village will burn it to feel its warmth"
maybe this is intentional. alex felt scorned by their friends, and burned those friends (metaphorically) and/or abandoned them. it would explain the random burning. idk.
Considering Alex's dark thoughts through the series, his complaints about school, his bad interactions with past friends, him destroying a public area (the burnt village) I thought alex was on the verge of becoming a school shooter or some shit like that and I am pretty sure he's mentally ill since he not only sees things that don't exist but he shows paranoia by theorizing that their something in his world and with him spying on donny for no good reason.
Alexspeaks videos are modern arts. Unique and different, hard to explain but contains a lot of meaning and messages.
this video was absolutely crazy. I'm usually terrified of these types of videos but this one PULLED ME to keep watching. hope others enjoyed it and I wanna see many more like this
At 23:07 you can see a crit recharge bar appear when the crosshair is pointed towards where Matthew is. This bar only appears when pointed towards entities. Matthew is actually present there but is actually fully invisible when compared to Alex speaks's POV.
That's more of technicality. The way those videos were done was putting matthew and alex in the same team, giving matthew invisibility potion effect and enabling "see invisible allies" for their team. That way matthew was there but only alex could see him.
i would like to mention the farm was made for mathew. so he probably wasn't thanking his own comment, he was thanking him for the farm. like complimenting someone on the work they made to make you a nice hat then thanking them for it.
Was about to comment that
was abt to say the same thing bro like "the farm is nice! Thanks" as in "thanks for building it for me"
Guys I think he’s just schizophrenic
23:43 from donny's perspective, it was the player (blokwinz_) who says "and i just cant wake up. However at 22:48, its mathew who says "and i just cant wake up. This brings up a theory that mathew is the player. Or a part of the player. Idk im not much a theorist.
"Because Matthew is just someone our player created to comfort him during this times" This made me cry ngl
Nice to know it wasn't some disturbing, evil entity terrorising kids, just the player's way of coping with his sadness of losing his friends.
UNTIL THE POV THEORY AT THE END DAMMIT, ALONG WITH THE WEIRD NOISES ON THE SOUNDTRACK
REAL DUDE THIS DISTORDED CHILRENS LAUGHTER WTF
What a complex and fascinating Minecraft video! Whoever set this up would have had to spend hours planning it with faith that it would eventually be seen that’s crazy! Also, nice use of the Severance song that was a nice touch! 👍
First🎉
Make me more popular than the reply above.
Ayee Wunba, glad to see you here :o
here before it blows up
whoever set this up 100% knew that this video would be made, either this channel made the videos theselfes or simply the guy that wrote the email was the one that made it
i can't explain it but the ending give me a sense of fulfillment knowing that the player had move on and found someone who he can finally talk with.. I like how the Story was portrayed giving off the vibes of nostalgic, sad, and uneasement..
Wow, this was actually so creative! the detail this guy went into with the names and everything is really cool
I love how big youtubers create new channels and do mysteries like this.
What?
@@fishingnxj he's saying that that render just made the alexspeaks channel for content
@@CtRAlTtAb did he though?(just wandering)
@@fishingnxj Obviously, this video was uploaded on the same day as the last video of the mystery. It would be impossible to make a video of this size in less than a day (since the series ended exactly when this video was uploaded).
@@kevinboros7427 I guess your right,but it still fun tbh
11:10 “And the he sets the village on fire!”
“No wait every player does that.”

God loves u all
Can't burn a village down anymore, a villagers night has changed me
@@zb1349 AYO WTF
that guy made a bizarrely and deeply sentimental series in minecraft. congrats
I loved it but bad timing im in the dining table eating at 12:30 with the only light coming thru my phone 😂
This entire video is showing the player recovering from his depression. The sign he set down was him saying he's gonna start himself again. That's amazing. And makes my heart swell.
You missed a few parts
.Matthew whispers to our mc, meaning donny cant see his chat
.when nulla says "and i cant wake up", in donnys pov our mc says it, not matthew
I thinks that's representative of the the fact that matthew is Blokwins. It could represent a split personality made as a coping mechanism slowly fusing with Blokwins due to his dying need to cope. With that message his friendship with donnie has become something more than what "matthew" was to him. In doing this it wholeheartedly represents the moving on of Blokwins and a new beginning for him where he can now live without that very coping mechanism.
yup I noticed that last one
no way. your right!
also, at 13:13, you can see Matthew at the edge of the mc's screen, the he re-appears in his house, in a matter of a few seconds.
@@elot6761 true
2:42 I would’ve said any other person would probably do that. But he intentionally picked those flowers just for them to be thrown in lava.
3:00 Interestingggg
3:53 Why’d that lowkey make me flinch.
4:57 Spookyyyy. I love these kinds of Easter eggs and lowkey creepy pasta kind of vibes.
The sense of comfort he got after the stuff was there, you can see it in his reaction where the gear appeared
"Someone you thought was your best friend was... never real"
As a schizophrenic I know how that feels through experience
do you feel comfortable sharing your experiences with schizophrenia?
we are not real sanny
Sanny the communist spies are watching you, they are outside the windows.
@@Chloroauric thats messed up
The communist spies are watching you always through the windows!
Seems like Alexspeaks is a seriously good director. What a crazy story. I love the stuff that creators leave for internet sleuths to figure out. They dont explain anything, theres just a bunch of weird shit that you have to piece together yourself
Broooo the ending feels like the ending of a movie and with the music made it better. I almost shed a tear of joy
Minecraft hasn't creeped me out like this since the early herobrine days
8:52 for some reason I died laughing at this part, from the unsettling appearance and stare of Matthew, and then “THERE’S BOOKS HERE” and the sudden cut to him sprinting to get books is so random
Lmao same
only sound effects can explain this...
Matthew is probably a hallucination and the reason things that he built disappear or because that’s the main character, realizing or slowly waking up back to reality that his friend is dead
Then how we see him
from someone else in this comment section that really sums up what it truly might be:
"Matthew is a friend that passed away, and blokwinz feels remorse because the last thing they did was argue over that house. That's their last memory, and they beat themselves up over it.

This series is better than most series ive seen
We need more videos like thisss!!!!!! Love your content 💗💗
I love this. It's a great representation of the anxiety of moving away and making new friends, feeling like you have no one so you make up someone, or maybe reimagining a friend you lost, either from just not being friends anymore or from death
the flowers going into the lava pit could be a tribute to his friend or a shrine
Icl this is probably the most interesting vid i've seen on yt since like 2019 lol. Just the fact that you know it's not possible but it feels real yk
He just needed a friend to play with, so he wouldn't feel alone anymore...
This was a disturbing watch for me since I can't stand the loneliness and emptiness even in games, yet this was brought tears to my eyes because I relate so much to the player. I'm so glad Player finally got to make a real friend, and it makes me sad that Matthew isn't an actual friend and just disappears in the end. :(
One thing i noticed was that blokwinz was building a house from the sever with his friends which could mean that he was trying to recreate and anchor to the past, but at the end he is helping to build donny's new house, which shows that he is building new memories.
I remember something weird happened to me in my minecraft world that still haunts me to this day.
I loaded in one of those small worlds… um I don’t know how to explain it but it’s like really small. And then I thought it was stupid so I changed the world type in the settings and it somehow worked. (This is on Xbox btw)… and it was all weird. It loaded in different. That one chunk was a dessert and everything else around it was a small lake and random sand islands. I decided to adventure to not be reminded of my very poor decisions and swam till I found land. When I was walking around suddenly I noticed right away that there were no mobs in sight. I ran and I searched for sheep but after a few minutes I only found some pig. I was surprised and I was just about to exit when I heard running, from another player. I turned and saw nothing. I quickly had forgotten I was about to exit when I saw dandelions! I don’t think I even noticed but it was a bit long till nighttime… now looking back a lot happened in one day. I did find a village and got my bed from there because I love stealing. I then slept and set off once more (especially when I saw there was no black smith)… once I was halfway through a dark oak biome I heard the running again. The sound was over lapping the walking sound I was making by playing around. I turned and saw nothing. So far all I saw for mobs were villagers and an iron golem, I did then see a chicken which surprised me a lot because I didn’t see any mob other than the villagers! Once I heard the running again I quickly logged out and never went back. I still tell this story and literally no one believes me. I still think it was weird looking back but I don’t really mind it. I did eventually get a Ps5 and glitches like that have never happened since so I’m fine.
Ain't no way I'm crying over minecraft arg, hands-down to this arg!! One of the best fr
