ZabBlab

*ZabBlab* is an ARG by ZippityZab Studios. Starting with the titular series, it is a web-series where Zab, an angry video game nerd, reviews a video game. With several clues littered throughout, however, one can find more mysterious clues that show there's a story behind the seemingly nonsensical plots.

## STORYLINE (SPOILERS AHEAD):

* **Morbius - ZabBlab:** The pilot ZabBlab has a different style, showing Zab himself, having animated segments, and being more free-form with how he reviews it. There is notably more dislikes than usual on this upload.
* **ZippityZab Direct - 4.28.23:** In the direct, Zab announces that the previous style will be changed to be more in-tune with typical game reviews. As he says this, a hidden link was shown that leads to image of an email showing Zab getting his studio's funding rejected due to the Morbius review. A hidden link in the email then leads to "Soon They'll Discover" by The Shins, on which Zab commented his frustrations.
* **My Own Art Exhibit - ZabBlab Short:** The exhibit features a QR Code that leads to morse code, which reads the opening lyric to Smash Mouth's "All Star". Going to the comments of the All Star music video shows a comment by Zab, which references bitly and "Walking On The Sun". Putting "walkinonthesun" as the bitly link then takes you to an NDA agreement with "The Badly Named Organization", which appears to stop anomalies ala the SCP Foundation.
* **ZippityZab's Zabulous Zone:** In the description of the album, one of the songs is instead listed as a link to an Employee Introductory Video by the B.N.O..
* **Super Mario Run - ZabBlab:** The tags in the description lead to another video posted called "BNO-53-SightingB", which appears to show footage of one of the anomalies named "BNO-53".
* **The *Monday Turnabout* Event:** The event centers on Zab being sued by an unknown entity over Ohio not being real. He hires Phoenix Wright as a lawyer (because Phoenix's car got a flat and the trio need money to fix it). However, a VHS tape of *Garfield and Friends* results in Phoenix calling Garfield to the stand. Garfielf apparently shows up thanks to Zab, who is now mysteriously absent, but things go awry as he starts destroying everything until Phoenix and co. stop him.
	+ The description of each video has parts of a hidden link that leads to a video on a channel called "15rabbitsattcking". The video in question shows Zab worrying about the lawsuit before grabbing a pen and asking how to draw Garfield, implying Gorefielf was drawn by Zab.
	+ Likewise, the *Bad Monday Simulator* links to another video by the same account showing a logo for a company called "Dickey's Softworks". Notably, this account has commented on Zab's channel before, being one of the complaints on the Morbius episode.
	+ Finally, the B.N.O. posted a new video about Gorefielf, labelling him as BNO 78 and saying that Dickey's is likely the culprit, implying the company has a bigger role.
* **Five Nights at Freddy's AR - ZabBlab:** In the description, a video reveals the Gorefielf survived the events of the event and was captured by the B.N.O..
* **The *Determination Week* Event:** The event surrounds Chara possessing Zab from his computer. One of Zab's friends, Noah the Exploah, goes to try and find Zab, but ends up finding him possessing a stone. Noah eventually finds Chara and gets the Soul out of Zab, letting Zab return to normal. The finale video ends with Zab playing UNDERTALE again to defeat Chara.
	+ The description of each video has parts of a hidden link that leads to a video by 15rabbitsattacking, which is a video at a Dickey's facility. Chara is seen being drawn to life by someone before Chara slaughters them and escapes by teleporting into the computer, leaving them trapped in there.
	+ Again, the description of the *Finale* leads to a hidden video by the same account describing the "PEN-15", meant to take any 2-Dimensional drawing and give it a three-dimensional form. A cipher in the description, when decoded, says the PEN-15 doesn't bring lifelike creations unless it was made with soul. Metaphorically, of course.
* **I.M. Meen - ZabBlab:** A hidden video in the description shows a video of Chara, trapped in a computer, being captured by the B.N.O.
* **Sonic the Hedgehog - ZabBlab:** The video centers around Zab being attacked by Sanic.EXE. A hidden video reveals that Zab had been testing the PEN-15 by drawing Sonic.

## TRIVIA:

* Zab wants to make it clear that there is a massive difference between his fictionalized version and his actual personality.
* In-Universe, the *Ace Attorney* games are based on real events, hence why the characters exist here.
