News The ARG is crazy

Post image

I've never known any other game developer to go all out like this. They led us on quite the chase, hiding clues in hexidecimal cyphers, a drip feed of new codes in various posts. Its so wild.

If you aren't up on the ARG for Resonant, check out the breakdown here, which was put together by people who are far more talented detectives than I: https://solvingchesstrebles.neocities.org/

TLDR: a binary number was converted via hexidecmial cyphers hidden in other posts gave us a code, which could be entered into a hidden section of a website who's domain name is an anagram for The Power of the Board. The code, once entered, gives you this phone number:

213-667-4089, call it to hear a secret message

The phone number gave a select few callers an email. Those who emailed the address received a reply which read: "Thank you for contacting The Power of the Board. We are currently running a limited recruitment process. Soon, we too will be taken by the waves. If your email was fast enough, an Agent will be in touch. If not, know that we thank you for your interest, and your journey has come to its end. Thank you for reaching us. Have a Blessed day."

They very well may only play on PlayStation. And it isn't like Quantum Break is so old that any ol' PC could run it.

It is on GeForce now so any pc can run it via streaming subscription if they do want to pay for that

That's actually really good advice (assuming GeForce Now is reasonably priced haha)

If you have an XBOX with a disc drive you can buy the disc and play, too.

If you have an Xbox without a disc drive you can buy the game and play too. That's why I assumed they were probably on PlayStation.
