Frictional Games is using ARG to joke its next championship.
Frictional Games' next game hasn't been announced yet, but if the studio's alternative reality game shows any signs, news will come soon.
ARG first appeared in late December (thanks to RPS), when the Rational's "Next Game" website went live. The site is empty, but a pulsating white light appears on the page. Tell us all right? Not so fast.
As people on resetera have noticed, there are icons at the bottom of the page that contain links to various frictional social channels. One of the icons is a bit dated because it looks like a weird shot of the Eye of Horus. At least it works for us.
When you hover over the icon, the end of the YouTube link will be displayed. When you insert the YouTube URL, you will be taken to a video that describes: "Videotape 16/2/83, copied from a private collection. Marked as Shetpe, KSSR."
As you can see, the video cassette 16 of the video box 52 shows only a large pile of st ones. However, if you look closely at one, you will see symbols carved into the rocks. You can also hear sounds that sound like water in the background.
There is another video, described as follows: "Product 1/7/115, marked as" three crowns ". Unable to restore video, reconstruct audio track clips, and denoise."
This particular video was discovered while looking at the source code of the website. In this case, the video is blank-but not without sound. crawl.
ARG can be fun, and this one is fun. Hope more clues will be revealed soon.
SOMA developers announced in 2017 that it is working on two projects and we suspect this is one of them.
