Corvus is an ARG that began with secrets hidden within a VR game studio's promotional images.
Subreality Studios
A gallery of secrets
The VR game studio Subreality Studios posted a reddit thread promoting their new Discord server and linking to an Imgur gallery containing screenshots of their currently released games. Small letters were hidden in these images, spelling out /a/8nLqb.
This was another Imgur gallery link, depicting the constellation of Corvus.
Users investigating the ARG in the Subreality Discord server were given a special Corvus role, allowing them into a private #corvus channel. Three messages have been posted by the Mee6 Discord bot to that channel.

=Unch5mb1R3c1NGI1RWdwBXYsxWZgUnbhRXQ, when reversed, decodes from Base64 to Atanu ellappudu custunnaru, which is Telugu and translates roughly to "he always watches".
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e is the MD5 hash of an empty string.
c50267b906a652f2142cfab006e215c9f6fdc8a01c27680133b781cadd037e8a6dcc001b is concatenation of a 40 character string c50267b906a652f2142cfab006e215c9f6fdc8a0 and the 32-character string 1c27680133b781cadd037e8a6dcc001b. The first one is the SHA-1 hash of www and the second – the MD5 hash of sniper, leading to http://subrealitystudios.com/sniper/ on the Subreality Studios website.
Sniped
The /sniper page contained an embedded Imgur image that has yet to be solved.
