What Worlds Is: An early virtual chat from the late 90's/early 00's. Although the site and official servers are up and running, nothing has been updated in a long while. A relatively small group of regulars still log on quite often. They are all fairly old, from 30 on up. Many of the user-created rooms are creepy or generally full of WTF. Even the official rooms (the ones found on the universe map) have a strangeness about them, however unintentional that may be. Perhaps the age of the client and its graphics create a sort of uncanny valley effect? Who knows.
What Worlds Isn't: A cult, viral advertising for anything, an ARG, etc. It's simply a very early model of virtual chat that has been online for a decade or so. The various worlds created by users are just very creepy. There is nothing paranormal about Worlds nor is there any kind of conspiracy. It's just creepy and fun to explore.
>To organize us /x/philes together a bit better, let's all meet up in either the Auditorium (found in the same world as the landing point) or the ground floor of Animal House (a downloadable world that can be found on the bottom right square/map).

If you want to play on a Mac, you have to find a program that lets you run Windows programs. A quick Google returns this program trial: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/ but I'm not a Mac user, so I don't how [well] that works.
