So after finally finishing up our ARG project, Team Name is ready for a break, or at least I am. The project as a whole was amusing but not something I would really want to do again. It was extremely frustrating and the fact that we could only communicate over break through the Wiki was a really bad way to conduct a game that requires so much communication and teamwork.
If it had been due before break, we could have finished the assignment much faster because we would be able to meet much more often and get more accomplished instead of having 4 posts in a day that don't do much.
The game is about a mysterious medicine that causes common cold side-effects. With a fake website and an e-mail, the players is brought into a world of murder, suicide and deadly viruses. In the end the player decided the fate of the main character as they help him escape the depths of a secret organization after they try and crack a very hard puzzle.
Unfortunately, no matter what the player chooses, the main character "Matthew Emmick" dies anyway, sacrificing himself for the good of the people.
