I've looked a bit into it. Seems to be a bunch of "scary videos" with some analog horror elements, but without any story or anything more to it. You can follow through pretty easily and you don't need to decrypt much stuff tbh (the most I've seen was some morse code in the description of some videos). I started to make an analysis, but I quickly gave up due to how, uhm... nonsensical it was... And, sometimes, they're trying so hard to be scary it actually becomes quite funny. Like, all of the loud noises on the minecraft alpha channel, and the png of steve randomly appearing, that was funny as hell.
TL;DR : I don't think there's any story behind it at all. Or, if there is, it's not really meaningful. I think it's just a kid trying to make scary videos on the internet.

Also, I don't wanna seem mean, so, if the person who made this ARG is reading this, I just wanna say that you have some potential. Don't give up. There's some very good editing techniques in there (though maybe you wanna calm down with the loud noises, and Herobrine references).
What you'd need to improve is your storytelling. People make ARGs to tell stories, more than anything else, it's not just about making spooky things. THE DECAYED (one of my fav minecraft ARGs) is a very good example of that. It's a story about the acceptance of death and the torments of eternity. THE DECAYED tells us that, while death can be painful, it is also necessary, and kind of beautiful sometimes, as it is the only way for someone to achieve forever-lasting peace, a well-deserved eternal rest. It's a story in which someone, in trying to build a paradise, managed to design the darkest of hells. Because living is suffering, and living for eternity is suffering for eternity. What I mean by all of this is that THE DECAYED is good not because it is scary, or because there's hidden things and theories you can craft around it, but because it tells a beautiful story, with a beautiful message, in an interesting and innovative way. That is what makes an ARG good, in my opinion at least.

(and I'm not pulling that out of nowhere, most ARGs or horror series I've seen, whether it was Minecraft related or not, had some really deep messages behind them. Like, the backrooms series from Kane Pixels is a critique of society, and the greediness of civilization; what humanity could do for comfort. Another one, AlphaVer, is about nostalgia, and putting some light on old, long forgotten projects made by passionate people. And I could go on and on on most ARGs/Horror Series RGN (or other content creators) have covered. Making an ARG is writing a story.)
