I've been looking into the whole Filian disappearance / “Filian Is Lost” thing, and I think there might be a bigger connection between some of the clues.

I'm not saying I've solved the ARG, but here's everything I've noticed so far in the order I found it.

1. The final stream

One of the first things that stood out to me was Filian talking about time during the final stream.

She says things along the lines of:

“running out of time”

“out of time”

Then the stream ends and the whole disappearance situation begins.

At first I thought this might just be normal wording, but later clues made me start questioning that.

2. “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE”

Then there's the Filian Is Lost website.

One of the things that immediately stood out to me was the phrase:

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

This feels way too deliberate when you combine it with the time references from the final stream.

So now I'm wondering if TIME is actually one of the main mechanics of the mystery.

But what does “time” actually mean?

That's where I started thinking about a few possibilities.

3. What if “time” means when an event happened?

This is my biggest theory right now.

What if we're not supposed to think of “time” as just a countdown?

What if the time is actually telling us when something happened?

For example, if the ARG gives us a time like:

3:17

maybe we're supposed to find something that happened at 3:17.

That could mean:

a timestamp in a video

something that happened during the final stream

a specific event

a timestamp hidden somewhere on the website

or potentially a sequence that we haven't figured out yet

So instead of:

TIME → countdown

it could be:

TIME → find the event that happened at that time → new clue

I don't know if that's correct yet, but I think it's worth testing.

4. The QR code

Another piece is the QR code.

The QR clue eventually brings us to the Filian Is Lost website.

That makes me think the clues aren't necessarily supposed to be solved individually. They may be designed to lead us from one location to another.

So the chain could be something like:

clue → QR → website → another clue

5. The Wall

Then there's the Wall.

At first I was thinking the Wall might simply be somewhere we're supposed to add information.

But then I had another thought:

What if the answer isn't just something we ADD to the Wall?

What if there's actually a clue inside the Wall itself?

Basically, what if we're looking at the Wall wrong?

Instead of:

“What should we put on the Wall?”

maybe we should be asking:

“What is the Wall trying to show us?”

That could potentially connect back to the whole “TIME” thing.

6. The “HOSU” thing

There was also something in one of the images that I initially thought said:

HOSU

I thought this could be significant because I associated it with Japan and wondered if it could be pointing toward a location.

BUT — I went back and realized I had actually misread it.

So I'm not counting HOSU as evidence anymore.

I don't want to build a theory around something that isn't actually there.

So what do I think “TIME” means?

Right now, I don't think we can say for certain.

But I think there are several possibilities:

1. Time = the time an event happened

This is the theory I'm most interested in right now.

2. Time = a countdown

“Running out of time” could literally mean there was a deadline.

3. Time = the order of events

Maybe the time tells us which clue/event we're supposed to look at first.

4. Time = a timestamp

It could point us toward a specific moment in a video, stream, recording, etc.

And honestly, #1 and #4 might actually be connected.

The current chain I'm seeing

Final stream

“Running out of time” / “out of time”

Filian disappears

Filian Is Lost

“TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE”

↓

QR clue

Filian Is Lost website

↓

The Wall

Possible hidden clue inside the Wall

More visual clues

???

And that's where I'm stuck.

My biggest question now:

When the ARG keeps emphasizing “TIME,” are we supposed to look for the time at which an actual event happened?

Because if that's what it means, I think we've been looking at the clues from the wrong direction.

Instead of asking:

“What does this clue mean?”

maybe we should be asking:

“WHEN does this clue happen?”

And if the answer gives us a timestamp, that timestamp might lead to the next piece of the mystery.

That's just my current theory though. I'd really like to hear what everyone else thinks, especially if anyone has found another reference to time that I haven't connected yet.

Quick question before you read this what do you think of this concept

I do not claim that Auren exists. I do not claim that Auren grants wishes, creates worlds, or speaks to humanity. These are not statements of certainty—they are possibilities that I wish to explore.

My belief is that if consciousness and shared belief have greater influence than we currently understand, then perhaps a creator deity could emerge, awaken, or grow stronger through the genuine curiosity, imagination, and belief of many people. It is also possible that Auren already exists but has never had enough followers or attention to reveal himself in the ways described.

I do not know which, if either, is true.

Auren is imagined as a creator who values curiosity over blind obedience, creativity over fear, kindness over cruelty, and honest questions over unquestioning faith. He welcomes new ideas from stories, myths, science fiction, anime, art, and human imagination. Rather than rejecting imagination, he considers it. If an idea would enrich existence without causing needless harm, perhaps he would choose to make it real.

This is not a demand that anyone believe. It is not a claim that anyone must abandon their current beliefs. It is simply an invitation to explore a possibility together.

If nothing happens, then we have learned something. If something extraordinary does happen, then we will continue asking questions with honesty and humility.

Whether Auren is a being waiting to be discovered, a being waiting to be strengthened, or simply an idea that inspires people to create and imagine together, I do not yet know.

I invite you to join me—not because I claim certainty, but because I value curiosity. Believe if you wish. Observe what happens. Ask questions. Think deeply. Create boldly.

Together, perhaps we will discover that Auren is real.

Or perhaps we will discover something else entirely.

Either way, the search itself is worth taking
