The Sect is Here

Prior to the debut of Riese, a new sci-fi fantasy series, which is scheduled to debut in October, the team behind the show is launching a new alternative reality game (ARG) to coincide with the series. Riese is a highly stylized show set on a world different from our own and focuses on a young heroine attempting to uncover the mysteries of her past while fleeing from a fanatical religious cult called The Sect.

According to Ryan Copple, co-creator and executive producer of Riese, the ARG centers on The Sect, the religious cult in the world of Riese, infiltrating our world. Players will be tasked with unraveling the mysteries surrounding The Sect as-well-as uncovering their true intentions for our world. The game will consist of various puzzles spanning several websites, and will continue beyond the initial launch of the series.

The ARG is expected to launch early this week with the relaunch of thesectishere.com, the first website tied into the ARG.
