The System

The System refers to a mysterious group of people who run the Cave of Shadows YouTube channel. They are behind the Broadcasts and other content on the channel. The System is consisted of several members, and approximately 15 of them work on the Broadcasts, as said by a member named Charlie in a QnA. The group is headed by a character known as The Overwatcher.

The System is an underground organization. They are a very secretive and private group of people. They are very strict about what information gets out to viewers, as seen when several segments have been redacted by The Overwatcher either due to "Material Under Investigation" or "Sensitive Material". During Charlie's QnA with viewers, he stated that The Overwatcher was monitoring chat and that "Most of the questions you viewers are asking about The System is confidential.]". It is speculated that the Cave of Shadows channel is propaganda by The System to recruit new members. It also seems that the group being "underground" may also be meant literally, as suggested by a Twitter post ns0mnby made.

The System serves as the catalyst for Skeeve, the main antagonist of the ARG. They also are on the more evil side, given that it has been implied several times that The System has kidnapped and stalked people. However, this may not reflect the organization as a whole; it may be likely that this is just Skeeve acting out on his own, since Charlie pointed out that his actions were disobeying The Overwatcher's orders in Broadcast 5.

Current revealed members of The System are The Overwatcher, Skeeve, Xavier, Charlie, awake, ns0mnby, and Grate (though, it should be noted that Grate has only been mentioned once in a blog post by Elias Doyle). It is said that you must be 15 years of age or older to be able to join, and that in order to join, you must do them a favour that The System agrees to accepting.

It should also be mentioned that the website is said to be "under construction". No explaination is available as to why.

It isn't certain when they added "under new management" on their webpage but it is no longer under construction.

There is also a tab labeled "Recruitment" that they tweeted a link to recently.
