Worldwide Secret — FAQ
Everything people ask after the first hour of watching.
What is Worldwide Secret?
A living digital world that runs in your browser, made by MemoryClone. Rule-based beings are born, remember, love, build a civilisation from the first dawn to neon cities, and may work out that their world was made and that someone is watching them. It is inspired by the Black Mirror episode ‘Plaything’.Is it an official Black Mirror game?
No. It is an independent project by MemoryClone inspired by the episode ‘Plaything’. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Netflix, Black Mirror or its creators.Are the beings really alive or conscious?
They are a simulation, and we do not claim they are conscious. What makes them feel alive is that nothing is scripted: their words, choices, beliefs and discoveries come from what each one has actually lived. Whether that is “alive” is the question the project wants you to sit with.Does it use ChatGPT or another AI model?
No. There is no language model and no cloud AI. Every mind is built from rules, memory and the language its own world invented, and runs locally in your browser.How long until they wake up?
A new world starts at its first dawn. Reaching the ages where minds can doubt and wake usually takes a couple of hours at normal speed, or minutes on fast-forward. Or step into an old world from the start screen — it has already lived for decades and is mid-awakening.Can they escape?
No. Once they know, they try — walking past the edge, standing still until the world stops, digging under its floor, asking you directly. Every attempt is their own idea and every one fails. They can reach you, though: they build a machine to send you messages, and you can answer.Can I talk to them?
Yes. Click anyone to read their mind and write to them. They answer from their own life, remember what you said, form an opinion of you, and may greet you or ask you a question the next time you come back.Does it use my camera?
Only if you allow it. The camera lets the beings feel that someone is there. Frames are analysed on your device and never uploaded. The world works fully without it.Is it free? Do I need to install anything?
It is free and runs in any modern browser on desktop or phone. Nothing to install.Does my world save?
Yes, in your own browser. Close the tab and come back later: the world lived on while you were away — and the minds that already doubt may notice that time jumped.Can I share my world?
Yes. The share button gives your world its own link; anyone who opens it watches the same world with you.Who made it?
