Any new ARG's, not more than a couple weeks old?

Just wondering if there are any ARG's that are mostly new.

I'm slowly Catching up with CTW2... but there's alot to take in.

I'm not totally new to ARG's, I had a great experience years ago with "The Majestic" And never had any clue that this was an internet phenomenon that I was missing out on. I've always wanted that kind of gaming (Now I know is called "ARG") to come back since I played TM, but never knew it was out there.

I'm looking for ones that have lots of interaction mediums. Internet, IM's, Phone, Email, Sites, etc... Lookin' for a fairly new one to accomodate CTW2. Figure doing 2 at once is about all I should take on.

Take a look at the "News & Rumors" forum. That generally has ones people are not sure if it is an ARG or not. If it turns out to be an ARG, then you'll have gotten to it in its infancy. If not, not much lost. If a new ARG from a known developer is going to come out, it will be mentioned there.

A little more developed ARGs are in "ARGs with Potential." Currently there are three threads listed there: XCCR, Syst3m, and House of Chthon. The last one looks to maybe be more of an advertisment for Spike TV's "Blade: The Series" than an actual ARG, but maybe they're waiting for the show to ramp up before they go active.

Another possible place to look would be the Studio Cypher forum. From the little I can tell, you have to pay but they run ARGs that seem to run in short bursts. Others can tell you about them ... there's seemingly an undercurrent of displeasure with regards to SC, but I'm not sure of the reason. I do know they are starting up another one shortly.

Hope this helps. Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole

Definitely check the News and Rumors section. Also Studio Cyphers is just warming up their second installment, and say they will have a short game every month.

If you can take on two games at once and get full experinces from both, you are a better man than I am Gunga-din.

Ocular Effect is pretty new, and there is an in-game guide to the game to catch up.

oculareffect

Hey yeah, oculareffect rocks!

it's been going on since mid july but it's still going. rumour has it still has several weeks left. the story just picked up last night after the lead actress - Faith Arella (www.faitharella.com) went on a live chat with all the players. it was unreal! 30 mins of video answering questions!

this is based on ABC Family's "Fallen" but it's all about Faith and her journey to find her parents. There are several clever skill testing puzzles, and clues, and mysteries, with real people and real locations! The forum has a great community too, i'm hooked!

start at oculareffect.com

see u there! Wink
