There was some pretty sad news posted on Perplex City Stories and various blogs today, to let us know that Perplex City Stories, the ARG side of Perplex City, has been postponed indefinitely. Sadly, the story team behind the ARG side at Mind Candy have been “let go”, and as far as we know, there is not anything happening in the near future with Perplex City.
All that we have been able to gather is that there is a new project instead, and that we have to wait and see if the link with Perplex City will be re-enabled, and whether Violet needs us for any further mysteries. Further information can be found on Perplexorum, here. Violet, Kurt and Scarlett have said their goodbyes also, and you can read those here. They are rather long, but worth the read.
I myself would like to say thanks to the guys at Mind Candy for keeping us fabulously entertained for the last 3 years with Season 1, and recently, the Frozen Indigo Angel part of the ARG. It’s been a brilliant time, and I really hope that it is not over just yet. Mind Candy have worked incredibly hard, and I know that this must be just as hard on them as it is to the players, having been a part of it from the beginning, and putting so much into it, and I, as well as many other players, are incredibly grateful to all of the Mind Candy staff for the amount they have done as well as the huge amounts of time, love and energy they have put into this ARG over the time it has played out.
The community has been amazing, so close knit and friendly, and incredibly welcoming. There have been a huge number of “fan-sites” created, and I hope these sites stay running for a while yet, as they are as much an integral part of Perplex City as the official sites themselves. I’m sorry to see it end, but I hope the community sticks around, as many friendships have been forged, and I’d like to see the community continue on, with or without Perplex City.
I will be updating with the second part of the FIA and Big Weekend this weekend, time and information permitting. I will definitely be sticking around for a while yet, as I know there are going to be many questions that need to be answered, as well as the fact I’m not ready to move on just yet!
It’s been a great ride, and hopefully the ride will start back up again in the future.
