It was an epic week of fishing featuring dramatic lead changes, frequent owl attacks, and it culminated in a bizarre production of Les Misérables playing out in the streets of Eminence as the results were announced.
But despite the fervor of the Toshihide Liberation Front, Jeomyeong has been crowned the Koi King and has taken his spot in the Eminence City Gardens!
Thanks to everyone who made this event such a blast to run!
Darkhawk Bay will be closed for maintenance for a couple of days but will return soon.

I'm wondering where all of my #transmedia people are these days. Check in if you're here? And I guess I'll be doing some outreach this month...

Fun fact: you’d think it was a robot posting these Everything Immersive listings in here but NOPE.

It’s @noahjnelson juggling desktop and phone like a boss.

Talkin’ in the third person like a comic book character.

Everyone, get ready, and start catching up! December 22nd is when Goodbye Susto, the continuation of Under The Surface, releases! Chapter one, baby!

If you haven't read Under The Surface, you should. The book is written nicely and beautifully, and the puzzles are intricately designed. I can't wait to see what @eveghost does for Goodbye Susto and I can't wait.

If you're eager to read Chapter One early, you can subscribe to @eveghost on Patreon. It's a great way to support a creator, and get benefits.

Haven't read the first book? Take a look at it here: https://www.axel-lunden.com/

So is #JohnMastodon the Fediverse’s first viral #ARG? /s

NB: Still waiting on a Fediverse ARG…

If you've been thinking of reaching out to tell an writer/artist/creator that their work has made a difference in your life, please do so.

It means more than I can possibly express. 💟

I've been gone for a bit, apologies! Let me just catch right back up with the next recommendation.

Following the A&S trail, we have Ahnayro: The Dream World. In this game, you are gifted with the ability to look beyond the veil of reality, investigating a universe that opens up to you every night, haunting you. Solve the mysteries of the evil that plagues her mind, and discover Ahnayro.

This game is another Permanent ARG, and this game includes Metas. After solving the puzzles around an item, you'll have to find out what links them all together. Additionally, there are websites around, that will guide you through your experience in the dream. The puzzles and websites in this game is immaculate, and the story is wonderfully crafted.

Hi! I know these posting schedules are very random, and I apologise. School has been kicking my ass lately and I am really sorry!

Anyways, let's talk about an interesting one. I would say this isn't really an ARG, but more of a puzzle hunt. Ceiling Wax is a youtube channel, which posts puzzles that you can solve alone, or with your friends. These puzzles are interesting, and fun to solve. Additionally, the amount of work put into this is really immense.
Check it out at https://youtube.com/@ceilingwax2070

If you're a fan of escape rooms and/or love puzzles, I recommend this one! @Vehemence has a channel for Ceiling Wax, and we're making some good progress. Come and join us aboard!

@Kio - You’re not a loser… we’re already here waiting for the Mastodon #ARG to blossom! Get creative!

Hi everyone! Sorry for posting this one so late! Today, we'll be talking about vintage things.

Yes, today we'll be talking about Hollow Medium. Hollow Medium is about an archival project of one Lenora Bowen, a speakeasy bartender in St. Augustine, Florida, who was haunted in 1926. All her personal recordings were on Wax Cylinders, and they have been digitalised. Additionally, you're given materials and ephemera included with the different wax cylinders, with puzzles and mysteries hidden. Can you figure out what happened?

This game is also a podcast, so you can always listen on the go, and figure out what happened. The game/podcast sadly is over, but everything is still up and you can solve it all yourself. Check it out here!

It really fucking sucks that if you're bipoc and you bring up concerns in a community then the blame is always placed on you to solve the problem or deal with it

The new update for the Cafe and Diner has just launched 🥳​Read up, catch up, and get to work! Haven't read the previous stuff, well what are you waiting for?

If you want, you can always try the older puzzles from the Cafe and Diner, even if it was removed from the archives by [THE ONE WE DON'T SAY]. Our Wiki has all the puzzles saved, and we're also working on adding clues to help you on your journey to solving these puzzles.

From lost media project from Argentina boasts incredible attention to detail and cultural references while appeasing the masses with creepy game footage. Despite only having a single video + supplementary information, the series was already covered by Night Mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxjDzG5tQYM) - proof of its growing popularity and content quality for those looking looking for something within the realm of "classic" unfiction qualities.

**Eternal Yard Sale / City of Eminence**

A multiverse bending story about a yard sale, kids playing Pokemon Go, lighthouses, and a transdimensional space witch, Eternal Yard Sale is a rarity in the Unfiction genre: an experience trying to find the hope in the world around us. Iris Jade Grimm's vibrant characters show what perseverance means as they plunge through extreme moments - whether that's losing their autonomy, their purpose in life, or their whole universe. And they do it with aplomb.

-----

Another one of my personal favorites; the bright, colorful landscape and relatable but not TOO relatable characters fill a void in the unfiction space with positivity, overcoming genuine tribulations, and most important, hope.

A girl is stuck in a mysterious town in Wyoming where time moves backwards and something is taking tourists. She decides to investigate which leads her down a rabbit hole involving the townspeople and the mysterious figures working at the local radio station.

A mysterious town in Wyoming? Shocker /jk. The characters are angsty and mildly shitposty, making interacting fun while still maintaining the horrific atmosphere.
