//The Deep Sleep Initiative

An Alternate Reality Game aimed at a casual audience, The Deep Sleep Initiative attempts to engage players in an engaging interactive story space without requiring active puppetmastering and handling of players.  A game contained within a print publication, with secrets hidden across the web, Deep Sleep Initiative is as charming as it is unassuming, drawing the player in deeper with mysteries and clues, with puzzles that intrigue without being an intimidating barrier to entry.  ARx, a team at Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center (ETC), designed the game for a teen audience. The art and writing style is simple but bold, and reinforces the idea that the game is open and playable by anyone.
