RESURGENCE ARG

Junior Narrative Designer at Maze Theory and Emergent Entertainment

Game Description

In 2032, the world faces a crisis like no other: with no way to slow climate change, a deadly new disease called Drift spreading across the globe, and crop blights causing mass starvation, things look grim. And now, it looks like the largest tech giant in the world, Vander Corp, know something about the imminent end to human civilisation...

Navigate your way through websites and uncover the truth of The End with the help of a criminal hacker, eco-activist, conspiracy theorist and more.

The ARG shows how the End of human civilisation came to be, tying into the wider world of Resurgence: a future post-apocalyptic world. Players spend 1000 years frozen in cryostasis, awaiting a new world they know very little about and, despite this, must fend for themselves.
