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.
