Looks to be something ARGish coming up this fall. Until that point it seems they have regular 3 week puzzle trails with puzzles released every friday.

Interestingly, on the legal page the company is "Unfiction Limited" and apparently based in England. I'm guessing they aren't familiar with ARGs as they describe their upcoming game as:

Interesting...

http://www.unfiction.co.uk/ actually points to the VNDRDI CODE website... upon registering the domain, you'd think they at least checked the same domainname on .com and .net to see what's going on there...

For what it's worth, a company called Unfiction Limited was set up in the UK on the 6/6/06 (this gets weirder and weirder!). I've spoilered their details below, which I got from the Companies House website.

Hmm still in two minds about this, the blatant name ripping put me off, but I can't resist a challenge.

Having said that I've looked at the last game and some of the puzzles seemed a bit of a stretch, I wonder if anyone got the answer?
