Identification notes
What is known
Found clip supplied for The Shadow Zone: a 28.5-second video meme, seen here through one representative frame. A white caption bar reads "POV: You log back on to Elden Ring after failing 2 exams and have 31 missing assignments." Beneath it, a dark-haired man in a dark coat is seen from behind, looking out over a golden-skied fantasy landscape of ruins and orange-leaved trees. The footage appears to combine a film shot with game scenery; both sources are unverified. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
