Background
Since the 10/12/2019, one second videos of a growing embryo are uploaded bi-weekly to the Next Frictional Game website. The name of each video represented the date the video was posted on, in this format: mm/dd.

It wasn't until the 23/01/2020, that the first clue for the ARG finally appeared on the site.

The HTML code of the site was inspected as well, and another YouTube video ID pBW3V85Y-I4 was found inside an element named artefact.
The ID leads to a video named Box 7 Reel 2, Partial Success
