    I just realized something. When the developer said "the player is gone" he was referring to his son. It's like at heart he was making this game for his son, and when he died he lost all the motivation to finish it, and the grief combined with the pressure to release the game drove him insane. I honestly find this story more sad than anything. It's very well done though.

Manfreds daugther has been brought to the hospital, but sadly the doctors couldn't save her then manfreds got stressed and depressed, so he stole a computer from the office and bring his boat to the sea and drowned himself with the computer he stole.

    The end where the crow [Sorry,I don't know a lot about this] Gets dragged away by that monster-type thing?- That terrified me. Maybe he saw something happen to his daughter? [I think a video I watched mentioned he had a daughter,too lazy to see if it was this video.] And/or maybe he hallucinated? Sorry,I don't know much about this-
    Edit: I found a channel that says that "Nils" is a founder [ Or something,I lost the video. ] And matpat said nils was his son?
    Matpat also mentioned that there was a code that said something along the lines of "This game is for you now [either his son's name or "son]."

    I come back to this video every now and then, even though the ARG has been "solved". I still think this is a masterclass example on how to do an ARG. Everything is SO neatly done, the setup, Adam's video, making other unknown lets play channels with Crow gameplay; everything feels natural and is set up so beautifully. Wish we can get more ARGs of this caliber and quality instead of generic trying too hard to be creepy ones.

    You know what seals the deal for me? The modernized video editing. For example, when he is about to curse, he censors it to avoid being demonitized. Another thing, is the music. The music used parodies game channels, such as: SpaceHamster, PeanutButterGamer, and more. But one gripe I have, is that the voice audio in the gameplay portion is just a bit too quiet. I didn't wanna turn it up in fear for a jumpscare, but I had to turn it up after I saw the video just to hear his voice in the beginning. Other than that, I am completely immersed.

    I never realized this fictional game you made feels 99% real! You made a fake video where people playing Catastrophe Crow, you even made a fake video where the Opus Interactions showcasing the development of Catastrophe Crew, you made a fake Wikipedia page about Manfred Lorenz, you made multiple youtube channels about Catastrophe Crow that was made a few months ago before this video uploaded, and you even made the WHOLE GAME and put it on a Nintendo 64 cartridge (maybe the game was uploaded into a PC software and not into a N64 cartridge). I highly respect to Adam Butcher and other people who created this masterpiece! Thank you for upload this video, Adam! You deserve a like and a sub :D

      So you're telling me... you listened to the ringing phone, the sobbing by the grave, the screams, and that duscusting noise in the last few seconds of the video AS "BACKGROUND NOISE FOR WORK"!?!?!? And you "didn't think much of this at the time"?!?
