I was actually quite heavily involved as a player of the ARG that led into Consortium. It was a very smart, very meta way to do some world building and advertising for the game. It lasted several years and Consortium is really just a small part of a much larger and weirder story involving time travel,alternate dimensions and possible alien manipulation. If you weren't fully up to speed there was a full walkthrough of the ARG and archive of the forum posts included with every copy of the original Consortium. Sadly it seems that most of the ARG websites were taken down. But you could still at least read the walkthrough and get the plot details. And now you can't get the original version of Consortium. The remastered version does not contain the ARG walkthrough or archive. So new players will completely miss out on key context that actually unlocked a fair bit of hidden content in game if you knew what to do. So that saddens me.
This company are going in way too many directions. You expect me to believe this small indie company who released a comercial flop can juggle Consortium: Remastered, That text adventure that still hasn't been released despite being done since 2020, Consortium VR, and finally a fully fledged and expanded sequel in Consortium: The Tower?
No chance.
