Owning Heartbound is ''not'' required to play the ARG, however you will be unable to progress past a certain point without a walkthrough if you do not own the game, and the storyline of the ARG will not make any sense to you if you haven't played Heartbound. | Owning Heartbound is ''not'' required to play the ARG, however you will be unable to progress past a certain point without a walkthrough if you do not own the game, and the storyline of the ARG will not make any sense to you if you haven't played Heartbound. | ||
Unlike Heartbound itself, this game is not an RPG, but rather a puzzle game, focusing on [[wikipedia:Cryptogram|cryptograms]], riddles and various other logic tricks. Also much unlike Heartbound, the game does not use the [[GameMaker]] engine, but rather is coded entirely from scratch in pure [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]]. Due to the web-based nature of the game, it cannot be reasonably played offline, as every solution to a puzzle will lead the player to a new webpage. | Unlike Heartbound itself, this game is not an RPG, but rather a puzzle game, focusing on [[wikipedia:Cryptogram|cryptograms]], riddles and various other logic tricks.
