Work as a forensic investigator, performing real-world investigation on a military-grade conspiracy. Yes, in the real world! The game redefines the way you play. It doesn't run on software. It runs on evidence, on your brain. You start with a text message from Mark. From there, you'll replicate his mission, find what he found, live the adventure he lived. You're on your own. You just have your own device. You set your methods, your pace, your tools. A piece of evidence helps you discover a part of the story, leading to more evidence, making you progress. Your challenge is to find the truth. The truth is out there, on the Internet. The Internet is millions of times bigger than a computer game sandbox. Are you up to the challenge? You might find answers in a news story on CNN or the New York Times. Something about a real company or person might help you proceed. The president might be involved. It's so intertwined with reality you'll be left wondering if it didn't really happen.
We are still working on the game's main story timeline and have many of the game items ready. However, there's still a lot of work to be done and our best estimate for release is Q3 2016. Yes, a long time has passed since the original announcement (2013).
The many parts of the game (2000+) are being connected into a coherent whole.
To whet your appetite, we can advance that, to play and complete the game, you'll have to:
Yes, we're talking about serious and hard work here!
We're working hard to blend a good forensic experience with a strong storyline to bring you a game worth playing.
Stay tuned!

How can I start playing?
Sorry for the late answer. We've been busy :)
The game has been revamped but release date has slipped. Our estimate is March. This time for real.
Can't wait until it's finished...
Very interesting concept, I don't know of any other ARGs that delve this deep (but maybe that's just my lack of ARG knowledge). Definitely tracking.
This will make a great project for my university cyber investigation class.
This looks... amazing.
