I started watching lg15 for the first time using a playlist that includes every relevant video. There are a bunch of spooky videos by channels like OpAphid and Tachyon. Some of them mention Cassie, who Bree referenced as a girl that disappeared or something. And some of them eventually reveal that Gemma was working for the Orders, and imply that she was killed. I browsed the wiki and there's a lot of story stuff that isn't talked about in the video, and mentions someone called Brother. (Where did all this information come from?)

Anyway, I was disappointed that OpAphid kind of faded away without become part of the main videos. What was up with that?

Soooo yeah, I'll take a crack at this.

Because the show had the mystery element and a huge following several attempts were made by various individuals to capitalize on this and start their own channels to siphon off viewers or to launch games (ARGs = Alternate Reality Games).

The first such one with any traction was Cassie related called CassieisWatching which involved some videos and activity on Second Life.

The OpAphid game started as fan run ARG with Cassie based videos. The first set of videos provided a puzzle that gave us a phone number and so goes the rabbit hole. There were various puzzles that we solved off screen, physical drop locations to be determined and clues collected, as well as interactions by phone and in person. This later became officially part of the show.

Brother is sort of like M is in this game. A character without a face who provides us with information and is an ally against the order.

My apologies for the dead links to solution videos. I had to take them all down for the music in the background.
