The '''TSUKI (月) Project''' was a website based on the belief that our reality is just one system among many in existence, and that when we die, we ascend to the next system.

The '''TSUKI (月) Project''' was a manifestation of the simulation theory on 4chan. Its leader, called the TSUKI Representative or Tsuki, claimed that the universe is only one system among many. Purporting to represent a consortium of companies based in LFE, another such system, he offered those who registered for it, called migrants, the opportunity to transfer there upon death from any cause by drawing a picture with a code on it.

 

It began in early 2017, quickly acquiring a large community which gathered on its imageboard and Discord server. On July 1, 2017, an attempt to create an indigenous chat system failed, and shortly thereafter Tsuki disappeared. The community survived on various Discord servers, until Tsuki returned in December. A second, more successful, chat system was created in March 2018, and on November 10 registration of new migrants stopped and the site ceased to be accessible. The site closed forever on December 22, 2019.

Several references to the anime TV series [[Serial Experiments Lain]] were present on the website and its multi-reality theories.

On January 15, 2017 a 4chan user began a thread on its /r9k/ board anguishing about his "daydream world telling him to die before August 28"<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34157760/</ref>. Other anonymous posters asked him questions about his situation, which he answered them, remarking that "they're comfy and it feels good to have others talk about your daydreams".

He made two other threads on January 20 and 26 respectively. In both threads, he was mocked by doubters<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34427161/#q34428439</ref> and asked questions by believers<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34305385/#q34306529</ref> - themes that would repeat throughout the history of the Project. It was in the latter thread that he first began to call himself Tsuki<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34427161/#q34435689</ref>.
