I just pulled this out of my stuff to show a friend.
Nope. What is it?
Hello Games did an ARG for the Waking Titan update in 2017. They sent out a number of them to people that participated and registered.
I assume that was a US only thing (maybe US/CAN?). I’ve been playing NMS since it was first around but don’t ever remember this - looks like it would have been fun.
Hello Games is based in the UK, so I’d expect it took place at least there.
I was one of the lucky people who also got food for Mr. Noodles (later re-identified as Ms. Noodles), as well as a classic scifi book, Nine Tomorrows by Asimov
Prized possessions. Having old rabbit foot as a prized possession feels kinda weird, but sometimes your destiny is handed to you, you are not always given a choice.
Great swag.
I remember reading about them on the wiki, but that is all I know about them.
I still have mine, still wish it would have had some in-game use.
The Waking Titan ARG was THE MOST bonkers game launch thing I have ever seen and when I try to explain parts of it (“We had to collaboratively solve puzzles to unlock a fuzzy image on a web page that revealed another inscrutable clue”, “We sent an actual human to a random physical location to collect the next clue by hand”), I get gobsmacked stares.
Yup, got mine in a photo frame on display as well
