Argus is a name meaning many things in popular culture. In Greek Mythology, it’s the giant with the hundred eyes; the servant of the Goddess Hera. In DC comics, it’s the name of the organisation connected to the Suicide Squad. But, in interactive messenger terms, it is the name of the new game by Reality Games.
Now, for those who don’t know Reality Games allow me to give you some background. They’re the developers of other interactive messenger games such as Orphans, The Healing and The Sign – Ghost Dimension. They specialise in horror stories that give you the chance to be the main character in a heightened world.
And a few months after their recent game, Orphans, it’s time to meet a new cast of characters… and a new deadly threat.
The official synopsis for Argus is as follows:
A young woman contacts you with a desperate cry for help! As a result, you will be drawn deeper and deeper into a nerve-wracking story involving murders, mysteries, urban legends and monsters.
It’s ONLY up to you to find out whether a human is causing death or whether a supernatural presence has its cold fingers in the game!
There are increasing reports on the Internet about a horrible creature called “Argus”… Follow the clues and help a group of friends solve all the puzzles! Be careful though, because ARGUS SEE EVERYTHING!
I’ve already sunk an hour into the game and it has a different feel to the previous games already. There are also new features and updated styles but I’ll explore this more in the episode review. The first episdoe is available now in English on ios and Android. Meanwhile, German fans have the first four episodes at their fingertips.
