Woah, the ending took me by surprise! Loved the game. It was amazingly good for such a low budget. Scratch that, it'd still be great even it was the same but with a bigger budget. If you do another keep the story prominent like it was here. The puzzles will always be solved but it's the story that keeps people coming back.

As for feedback, I though the red herrings were a nice touch but keep their duration to a minimum. The binary with spaces stayed up for awhile so I thought there was a solution needed to move on. Also, the effects were, understandably, cheesy at times. I think it looked better when things were more subtle, like when the cloaked guy teleported through the fence. Maybe instead of melting the hazmat guy (which was pretty cool) he could've raised his hand and the other guy would grab his head then fall over. You did good work splicing the videos though, I never suspected that it was all you.

In your next ARG put a little easter egg somewhere so we know it's you. Maybe a Tempus Umbra poster or sticker.

Ooh, seconding the idea of an Easter egg! Stick that pyramid in there somewhere, or have somebody mention lapis lazuli (is that what it was made out of, by the why? It's still driving me nuts that I'm not certain!)

Thanks! Yes - an Easter Egg is a great idea. I'll definitely do that next time, although that may be a little while - need to return to reality for a bit now.

And yes, the pyramid is lapis lazuli. Sadly only an inch wide. It would be really cool to have one as large as I made it look in the videos.

In honor of muse, make it a carrot.

The artifact's small and we though we saw a 3 on one side. Hmm... Are you sure it isn't a d4 (4 sided die) with a different skin on it? /nerdery

Anyhoo, thanks again. I had a lot of fun.
