What is protein monster?

No one knows. some claim for it to be an ARG (alternate reality game), but then there would have to be a story. Some claim for it to be a fun side project, but what side project has over 200 subdirectories, with complex unity games, Three.js, and more?

For what it's worth, it's a deeply interconnected webpage with subdirectories connecting to other subdirectories, and even has it's own subdirectories in subdirectories. I wanted to see how connected these nodes are, and even see how deep the protein monster rabbithole goes!

I tried, asking, this is what they said:

twitter reasoning

However, they did send me some stickers!

Next Steps

  • Link Unity applications to the graph
  • Add extra findings (number of unity pages, ThreeJS applications, videos)
  • Create Markov chain depicting probabilities and randomness of entering a page
  • Clean up some empty nodes
  • Manually add Christmas node
