mostly charmless | perplex city readme / quickstart guide
A quickstart guide to a virtual reality game called Perplex City. This is a free-standing game similar to the campaigns waged for the opening of the AI movie and the "I love Bees" game that was used to virally market Halo2. The game uses collectible cards with puzzles of several different complexities and depths. You can play without buying cards but are encouraged to as a way to karmically encourage future things of this type. And did I forget to mention that there is a real world item to be found by whoever solves the puzzles worth $220,000.00. Sweet!
