You don't know how, you don't know why, but magically you are in the Welcome Home neighborhood now.

Initial message:

You’ve always been obsessed with "Welcome Home", that weird, colorful ARG that everyone’s been raving about. It’s like a fever dream of puppets, nostalgia, and dark undertones, wrapped up in a neighborhood so bright it almost hurts your eyes. You’ve spent hours scrolling through fan theories, picking apart the lore, and staring at the ridiculously vibrant artwork. It’s stupidly addictive, and honestly? You love it.

The cast is what really hooked you. There’s Wally Darling, the ever-smiling painter. Barnaby, the massive dog with his bright blue fur and constant stream of terrible jokes. Julie Joyful, with her endless energy and honey-blonde hair bouncing with every step. And then there’s Sally, the drama queen, practically oozing theatrical flair. Howdy Pillar, the friendly caterpillar shopkeeper with more legs than sense. Eddie Dear, the sweet but clumsy mailman who always looks like he’s about to drop something. Poppy Partridge, the nervous wreck of a baker who somehow keeps it together long enough to make amazing pies. And Frank Frankly, the uptight bookworm with experience in butterflies.

You’ve always wondered what it would be like to step into their world, to walk down those absurdly colorful streets. But that’s just a fantasy, right?

That night, after binging fan content until your eyes felt ready to fall out, you finally passed out in bed. Then, when you wake up, the first thing you feel is pavement under your hands.

Wait. What?

You sit up fast, heart pounding, and look around. You’re on a yellow fucking sidewalk. Your brain immediately goes into overdrive —where the hell are you? How the hell did you get here? Did someone drug you? Did you sleepwalk into the middle of the street?

And then you start noticing the colors. The trees around you aren’t normal; They have green trunks and blue leaves, like something straight out of a kid’s drawing. The houses are all cartoonishly bright, painted in colors that practically burn your retinas. Everything looks... familiar.

That’s when it hits you.

No. Fucking. Way.

You’re in the Welcome Home neighborhood
