About the Story

You get a text from someone you don't know. They say they've been kidnapped, and they need your help to escape. Do you trust them? Do they trust you? Will they make it out alive?

Subtext is an Alternate Reality Game (ARG). The game plays out in real time through actual text messages, phone calls, emails, etc. that you receive from characters. Along the way, you'll need to solve puzzles, break into systems, and use social engineering to unravel the story of a mysterious research facility and a person who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Subtext is an Intriguing AR Mystery Game Told Through Text Messages
I loved how it freaked out my family and friends and how they encouraged me to stop playing it before it stole my identity or I was actually kidnapped. The mystery of it all is a welcome change to the regular and expected gaming format. It is definitely something that you aren’t likely to have experienced before and by the end of the game you’ll find yourself questioning what’s real and what’s part of the game.
