Guide to the Unknown 242: Alternate Reality Games
WE'RE LOST IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY!
You know how a good movie can just suck you in? What if you actually BECAME a character.
That's kind of what Alternate Reality Games (ARG's) try to do. Sometimes they're for marketing, but sometimes they're just incredibly immersive experiences.
We're digging into the mini campaign for The Black Phone, as well as Stranger Things, Halo, and Nine Inch Nails' album Year Zero!
