Yeah, Majestic was incredibly interesting because it was an attempt to create an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) that was more than just a marketing campaign and could support itself financially. Its failure led to ARGs being abandoned as standalone games and ARGs mostly remained marketing which - ultimately - led to a slow, but inevitable decline of the ARG as a genre when the marketing money dried up.

I’ve been trying to figure out the name of this game for a long time. My roommate played this in college and he loved it. It was fun to watch him play and interact with it.

I had never heard of this game, pretty cool concept. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv9t5zg3O_Y This is the video the article seems to use as a reference in most of its images.

I mostly heard that it was boring at the time. Which was unfortunate, the concept was cool.
