Still ROFLing about the reply I received. I asked Dr. Miller for help regarding my poor, confused brother, who's giving away his inheritance to charity organizations instead of helping his family to secure our wealth and expand the family empire.

Got a reply about their methods and facilities:

"We'd rather keep our methods to ourselves... you can think of them as "trade secrets", if you know what I mean. That said, I can assure you that everything we do here at the Hanwell Mental Institute is legal. Note that you will be required to sign a document that relieves us of any responsibility should you suffer any permanent damage (that is, any more damage than what you have already) but do not worry, this is all standard procedure.

I can talk a bit about our facilities though: inmates can freely roam an entire floor of the asylum and many are chosen to help in everyday tasks such as laundry and cooking. Leisure activities include reading in a vast library, spend some time in our game room, backyard or gallery. Additionally, therapeutical activities include attending lectures, participating in workshops, creating art and more. Of course, we also provide a chapel that all our inmates can visit anytime they want.

I trust this will dissipate any doubts you may have about the Hanwell Mental Institute and we look forward to receiving you very soon.

-Dr. Miller"


Sign a document against them being responsible for any permanent damage?! lol.

Well I'm happy (I guess?) to say the Institute doesn't accept children.

Sent two messages to them; one inquiring about my "friend" Bertrand LaRoche, another asking how I figure our whether I should be admitted; response below

Seems another group of gamers have gotten wind of this ... ARG?

3 more days. This will be lots of fun!

[AncientMariner]

I still haven't been able to tell if this is just a really good marketing guy trying to keep us interested or if there's actually an ARG here to promote the game. Either way, I'll be sure to check up when they release the new.whateveritis

[shrtyscott3]

Regardless, the personal emails were a nice touch. Even if this turns out to be a Cloverfield-esque advertisement, it was a nice distraction. Opening a thread with [Trailhead?] should never warrant a definitive ARG but a small developement on either a dead ARG, a pre-game, or good marketing.

[AzureWolf]

Seems the main page at http://www.facethehorror.com has been updated, very well done trailer, and it looks like the game isn't coming out until 2011.

Personally, after looking around the gallery and everything else I could find that was new, I see nothing ARGish at all in the new stuff. But the game doesn't really look like my cup of tea anyway so I think I'll be setting this one aside.

[eunria]

So, did anyone get an e-mail besides the one that brings you to the fth site with the trailer?

[odiec]

On July 9th, I e-mailed Andrew Miller about admitting myself (I e-mailed the admissions address a few days earlier and didn't get a reply) and got this response from him on July 11th:

[another_pilot_dwn]

anything happening with this?

[odiec]

I haven't noticed anything different on the websites and they haven't e-mailed me since July 11th. I hope they're just preparing because I'd really like to get admitted.

[comadarkvale]
