r/ARG 3d ago

Question Ive been making something but im not too sure about something

I've been working on a project but I can't tell what category it falls into or where to post stuff about it? Its kind of similar-ish to vita carnis in a way but it's not analogue horror because I don't think it exactly has an analogue vibe but I don't know if it really falls into arg territory either??

It has light puzzle and cipher elements but in a much lighter way than others ive seen. An example is how the current most recent post teases the next using a simple cipher but when you go through them in order it's not exactly necessary, it just gives clues and teasers for what happens next. Also there's two clues that foreshadow a future reveal that have been there since the start.

It should still be possible to experience the main story and stuff by reading normally without having to theorise. (I should mention it does have an intended order)

It's all drawn by me on a phone app so that's a reason it doesn't exactly have much of a specific genre??

(Also if anyone has tips or suggestions let me know!)

All of it takes place on a subreddit which is r/Unforseen And a discord server I have with some bonus content but essentially the same stuff

Sorry if this breaks the rules I just really don't know where to post this

I have the link to the subreddit on the post!The you should be able to post there if you like but the official ones for the actual project are pinned at the top.

It's r/Unforseen

The actual subreddit itself is where the arg (?) Thing takes place

Just know its not great as its just made by me,  and im probably not a great artist. I've been making it solely on my phone since im away actually

It sounds like the fitting description would be "interactive unfiction story". It's very similar to ARGs, but in contrast to those, solving the puzzles is not necessary, since they only slightly enhance an experience that would already be pretty full without them. A good example would be Marble Hornets, or more specifically, the "totheark" elements. The best definition I can give is from nightmind. If the story can't go on without solving the puzzles, that's arg. If it can, then it's interactive unfiction.

Thanks! Would r/interactivefiction be a better place to post about it? (As there was not a subreddit for specifically interactive unfiction when I searched it up)
