With the found-footage genre you have a lot of freedom to create with limited resources.

You get a lot of wiggle room with exposure, framing, shakiness, and (mostly) sound. You don't have to follow rules/standards of cinematic film, considering it's made to look and sound like someone just picked up a camera and hit record. You just need to know you should write things you know you can make, so that no wild post-production or high-budget set design will be needed.

But for the most part, all you need is a camera. A camera-mounted shotgun mic could do your sound nicely, but even that isn't essential for found-footage.

Your house/neighborhood setting shows you're not being overambitious, which is great.

Also, side note, I have had this extremely similar idea that seems to align exactly with what you're going for, both thematically and stylistically. I'm a film student in South Florida and I'm most likely going to write a draft in the coming weeks for this "found-footage web series figuring out an ARG with your life on the line" idea for my screenwriting class.

I'm interested in hearing more about what you're trying to do, would you like to PM?

My library had The Codebreakers: The Comprehensive History of Secret Communication from Ancient Times to the Internet when I was a kid and I may have forgotten to bring it back in the past twenty years.

It's partly a historical book (and was originally written in the 60's), but it's insightful on what you're looking for. Extremely interesting if you're into this kind of thing.

Bear in mind that book doesn't really go into base64 or anything like that that can only be done with computers, because these things simply weren't around in the 60's. But in terms of ciphers and human encryption it's a great historical resource and can give a lot of insight into how this stuff works.

On the book side of things: Dave Szulborski's This Is Not A Game and Andrea Phillips' Creator's Guide to Transmedia Storytelling. Mike Selinker and Thomas Snyder's Puzzlecraft is one of the most in-depth guides to puzzle creation out there.

On the video side of things: Night Mind's How To Make a Webseries is particularly helpful in framing what type of project you want to make.

While most of the Game Detectives resources are focused on players, their Game Detectives Academy is a helpful grounding on some of the tools in the creator's arsenal. Some of the folks playing the Game Theorists puzzle trail have created an #arg-workshop channel in the Official Game Theorists Discord with similar resources (there's a Google Doc specifically for puzzle creation in the channels pins, although I'm going to assume linking to that directly here is a breach of decorum).

Aside from the document directly linked here, the same user has uploaded a separate document. It includes images posted by -Omega-and-Alpha in other topics here and on other subreddits, but at the end includes a multi-page excerpt from a contemporary Russian novel called Sense: https://www.amazon.com/Sense-Russian-Writing-Arslan-Khasavov/dp/5717200935 . I'll let others discern meaning from it through their own intuition, but I thought it was pretty interesting in the context of what we know so far.

I don't think a woman wrote this, or at least not one old enough to be a mother did. Journaling, like bujos and things of those nature, are really big right now. A woman who took the time to buy nice/custom notepads wouldn't use old/dried out felt sharpie pens on it. Plus it say's "Mother Loves You" and not "Your Mother" or anything else that would imply that this is actually your mom. Also, here is the earring.

Ok, there is WAY more to discover. So first off, could someone link me to this "login" page? I'm not finding it anywhere. Reason why is because I have a possible username and password.

Those are all of the ones I could find. There may that I haven't found and I'm just derping. I'm just saying there's ALOT more to this story. Second off, I'm having a weird issue where I can't access the site on Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. Only Firefox so far.

Just thought I'd share, time to get back hard at work!

EDIT: About to post to /r/icic , no need!

Seems like the website for a musical artist called 185668232. Here's the bandcamp and an Amazon.com album link.

Seems like just a weirdo tbh.

In the first video, she laid "Alan" on top of a book by T.C. Boyle, The Tortilla Curtain, which I think is relevant, too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023SDQDK/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o00_?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Aside from a few instances with web ARGs [EMH, Ackerly Green] most games that involve physical items I've come across are paid for experiences.

The Mysterious Package Company has some experiences that vary in story type as well as number of mailings you get. They're on the pricier end of things, but the artifacts they send reflect the price. They also have a quarterly subscription called Curios and Conundrums that involve a newspaper with stories, riddles, and puzzles as well as some ephemera and objects that all wrap up in a yearly story. The Weeping Book is a good starter point for people who don't want to spend a whole lot on an unknown company. Also, they've got a holiday sale going on right now to knock off a bit of the price tag: https://www.mysteriouspackage.com/

The Mysterious Experience Company is a monthly crate box experience where you get some items and notes on a murder usually. It's up to you to read through it all, investigate online, and determine who from a list of suspects committed the crime. I've only had one box from them so far, but I am impressed so far by it: https://mysteryexperiences.cratejoy.com/

Forgotten Folios is another monthly subscription through Patreon. The letters and artifacts you receive, depending on which level you support at, are more story driven than puzzle oriented but I think they're well worth checking out for their attention to detail: https://www.patreon.com/forgottenfolios

The Haunted Dollhouse is an experience offered by Lady Delaney. You receive a series of boxes through the mail that allows you to put together a small dollhouse and piece together a story of betrayal and murder from the early 1900's. This experience happens a few times a year. Right now the next time it'll start going out is January. The creator also has a monthly subscription called Letters From the Dead where you get letters and other ephemera mailed to you, but I don't know a whole lot about that: https://www.lettersfromdeadpeople.com/about

On the less pricier side of things there are a few books you may be interested in checking out. The Ship of Theseus tells several stories. Some overt and some only apparent when you read into the puzzle. There are artifacts inside the book that add to the stories and help with the puzzles. It may be hard to find at times but I recommend buying the book new so that you know you have all the pieces: https://www.amazon.com/Ship-Theseus-J-Abrams/dp/0316201642
