Found this on a train, leads to a creepy place.
An ARG, possibly?

Curious.

Hi! Sorry for the long delay, there's something new for you today.

Today, we'll be talking about Mossflower Pictures. Mossflower Pictures makes music videos for a living, but has made an ARG, that invites the spirit of friendship! Here's the link to the first chapter: https://mossflowerpictures.com/CHAPTER-1

If you want a nice catch up, Night Mind has released a video on this game, right here. https://youtu.be/--N-BOIB9FE

The puzzles are nicely crafted, and everything about this game is interestingly done! The story is great, and you'll have a blast with this.

One thing I really love about #libraries is doing a subject search and having #fiction appear in addition to non-fiction. I wanted to learn about #alternateRealityGames and ended up finding the novel rabbits by Terry Miles and I'm glad I'm reading that first instead of non-fiction.

The Cafe and Diner has posted out all October 1995 receipts for Open Doors. On our side, all answers, transcripts and summaries for each receipt has been placed in, just waiting for one of the patrons to place in some coffee sweeteners/clues.

Just a reminder, you can always try the older puzzles from the Cafe and Diner, even if it was removed from the archives by [THE ONE WE DON'T SAY]. Our Wiki has all the puzzles saved, and we're also still working on adding clues to help you on your journey to solving these puzzles. Summaries are included though, so enjoy!

And check out @ashblack's summaries. It's on the wiki, and it'll give you a quick catch up! Good luck, and enjoy the coffee!

Everyone, get ready, and start catching up! December 22nd is when Goodbye Susto, the continuation of Under The Surface, releases! Chapter one, baby!

If you haven't read Under The Surface, you should. The book is written nicely and beautifully, and the puzzles are intricately designed. I can't wait to see what @eveghost does for Goodbye Susto and I can't wait.

If you're eager to read Chapter One early, you can subscribe to @eveghost on Patreon. It's a great way to support a creator, and get benefits.

Haven't read the first book? Take a look at it here: https://www.axel-lunden.com/

Hi! Sorry for the delay, but here's the next one.

The last game in the Alice & Smith series is NITE Team 4. This is more of a military hacking game, where you have to hack systems, and use data analytics to solve puzzles. This is less of an ARG to me, and more of a hacking simulator.

This game is still something I would recommend to everyone. The work put in this is amazing, and I love this game. These puzzles are different and interesting. It takes some time to get used to the interface, but once you do, you'll have a great time hacking databases. Check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/544390/

I've been gone for a bit, apologies! Let me just catch right back up with the next recommendation.

Following the A&S trail, we have Ahnayro: The Dream World. In this game, you are gifted with the ability to look beyond the veil of reality, investigating a universe that opens up to you every night, haunting you. Solve the mysteries of the evil that plagues her mind, and discover Ahnayro.

This game is another Permanent ARG, and this game includes Metas. After solving the puzzles around an item, you'll have to find out what links them all together. Additionally, there are websites around, that will guide you through your experience in the dream. The puzzles and websites in this game is immaculate, and the story is wonderfully crafted.

Hello! Today, we'll be talking about rituals, demons, and secret societies.

The team called Alice & Smith has made a whole universe, with just a few games. Today, we'll be talking about The Black Watchmen. The Black Watchmen is a game about a paramilitary group dedicated to protecting the public from dangerous phenomena beyond human understanding: ritualistic murder, occult secret societies, and paranormal activity, and others. This game has 2 seasons, and each season has puzzles that will blow you out of this world.

There are a few DLCs, and each of the DLCs contain more adventures and puzzles. The live events are over for each of these DLCs and Seasons, but the story is still up to you to discover. Some of these puzzles rely on your Google skills, and some of these are definitely not easy. Check it out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/349220/The_Black_Watchmen/

Hello! Today, we'll be talking about fear...

What are you afraid of? That's what Phobos would ask. Yes, PHOBOS is an ARG about a company who wants to remove fears. We meet different characters along the way, and people on different sides of the company. Delve into Eldritch Lore, encounter eldritch horrors, and travel through time, while listening to catch musical songs. Check it out here: https://youtube.com/@phobos8053

PHOBOS has Season 1 completed, and is now on Season 2. Additionally, the Kermit's Detective Agency is working hard to solve this mystery. Join us there: https://discord.gg/yUMyRuqwCH

Hello, today we'll be talking in a different direction. How do you guys feel about Analog Horror?

If you're a big fan of Analog Horror or ARGs, I strongly suggest that you learn about the history. Alex Hera, a wonderful creator, and the lovely person behind Walker's Creek, has created a documentary called The History of Analog Horror. Check it out: https://youtu.be/-I_4ph-L19U

This video covers many different bases. From the analog age with Blair Witch, all the way to The Mandela Catalogue, a famous one right now, Analog Horror has gone through many different phases, and this video does a great job at summarising and explaining everything. It may be long, but Alex has made it so that there are chapters and places you can take a break if you ever feel like it's a little too much.

I completely missed the #TGAs last night because I had a winning streak in #Inscryption. Worth it. Beating the antagonist in that game feels so satisfying. I’m sure there’s big #gaming news I need to catch up on from last night.

Hi! Today, I'll be doing something a little different, and talking about a set of indie company games.

Simulacra is a series of found-phone games. But as you follow on, the phone behaves strangely as you dive deeper into it. Recover lost files, piece back corrupted data, and retrace their steps. The order to play the games is Sara is Missing, Simulacra, Simulacra: Pipe Dreams, Simulacra 2, Simulacra 3! These games are made by Kaigan Games, a set of indie game developers in South East Asia!

The puzzles are fun and interesting, and this game is similar to life, in which choices matter to your every step. If you like puzzles, choose your own adventures, and found-phone games, this is definitely your jam. There are so many things to explore and everything is amazing!

Hello, today we'll be talking about another game!

Raven's Eyes, also known as Jason Deth, is a cool game. Jason has veen alerted about alternate versions of himself through a freak accident, and it is his job to alert others like him throughout the multiverse. See through the Raven's Eyes, and find what is hidden. Check it out here! https://youtube.com/@TheRavensEyes

@Vehemence gas a channel for this, so head over right now! This game is amazing, and well-crafted, with loads of information and lore. The website looks cool, and so do all the videos.

Really interested (and somewhat unsurprised) to find that the tiered design I identified regarding alternate reality games mirrors the reason why nonviolent resistance is more than twice as likely to succeed.
That is: mass participation is key, and is enabled by a wide range of ways to easily be involved.

Hello everyone! Today, I'll be talking about a fun card game, which is also an ARG.

Dinn is a tabletop game and ARG. It allows you to play a fun game, and solve individual puzzles on cards. The story is that three years ago, Natalie Neil disappeared without a trace – and one of the six characters knows what happened. As the community solves the puzzles hidden in every chapter pack and starter deck, they will discover the truth and be able to change the direction of the story.

The art on this game is great, and the puzzles are really fun! Check it out here: https://dinncards.com/

Would you be interested in a #unfiction + #ARG + #AlternateRealityGames
forum?

Hi! I know these posting schedules are very random, and I apologise. School has been kicking my ass lately and I am really sorry!

Anyways, let's talk about an interesting one. I would say this isn't really an ARG, but more of a puzzle hunt. Ceiling Wax is a youtube channel, which posts puzzles that you can solve alone, or with your friends. These puzzles are interesting, and fun to solve. Additionally, the amount of work put into this is really immense.
Check it out at https://youtube.com/@ceilingwax2070

If you're a fan of escape rooms and/or love puzzles, I recommend this one! @Vehemence has a channel for Ceiling Wax, and we're making some good progress. Come and join us aboard!

Hi everyone! Sorry for posting this one so late! Today, we'll be talking about vintage things.

Yes, today we'll be talking about Hollow Medium. Hollow Medium is about an archival project of one Lenora Bowen, a speakeasy bartender in St. Augustine, Florida, who was haunted in 1926. All her personal recordings were on Wax Cylinders, and they have been digitalised. Additionally, you're given materials and ephemera included with the different wax cylinders, with puzzles and mysteries hidden. Can you figure out what happened?

This game is also a podcast, so you can always listen on the go, and figure out what happened. The game/podcast sadly is over, but everything is still up and you can solve it all yourself. Check it out here!
