It was a massive multiplayer GPS RPG
With an augmented reality paradigm distribution model STEAM
Sci-fi crowd sourced open narrative backstory and we
Ran about, hung out, played the game and smoked some weed

…

Abed got the game was the first one to play
And showed us all how one late spring day
Soon every afternoon the five of us met
To play Transcend until sunset

When summertime came we played every day
Running round town with our phones in our face
Latices linked, game events unleashed
Beacons sparked, hunts embarked, racking up Prestige

James was the first to crash and burn
Dream from game he could not discern
First tics then shakes then wild eyed rage
He was pulled from school and then put away

We carried on though unbeknownst
We were playing without the app or our phones
Our brains rewried to see the game
Til something saw us and came one day
Redneck Greek Chorus:
Let your world just slip away
Tune inside and play the game

Timothy:
Transcenda… transcenda… trascendation Yeah

Infodump’s Youtube Video:
Hey, this is Infodump with 5 interesting things about the game Trancsendation:

Number 5: The hit game Transcendation, which has groups of players running all over towns across the world is said to be based on a combination of Enochian magick, chaos magick and Heka, an ancient Egyptian religion

Number 4: The spooky mystical bits were brought in by the game's main architect Jordan Lane who has been quoted as saying ritual magick is the hacking code of reality

Number 3: Even spookier, both she and the game's other founder, Sean Foucault, who was also her lover, both disappeared under mysterious circumstances right around the release, some say testing game configurations


Irina was the next of the five to get
The tic then sick then one day left
But right before dropping out of sight
She called me in the deep of night

She said something about the game
Something bout cracks and something came
Something thin and faceless dark
And of the five twas i he marked
Redneck Greek Chorus:
Let your world just slip away
Tune inside and play the game

Timothy:
Transcenda… transcenda… trascendation Yeah

Abed: We played all day, right?
Michelle: Yeah
Abed: But our phones re right here
Alison: Does anyone actually remember having their phone or pad at any point lately?
Michelle: You can't play the game without your phone. You can't play the game without the app. You guys are just being idiots and you're fucking with my head
Alison: we need to stop
Person 2: Aw come on, stop freaking out you're all overeacting
Alison: it's too late
Michelle: it's not too late
Abed : It is. I've seen the man. The one James saw
Michelle: James had a latent condition triggered by overstimulation of his...
Alison: Bullshit. There was nothing wrong with him
Michelle: He's in the nuthouse!
Timothy: Guys. ‘Ben's not kidding. I saw the thin man too
Abed: Where'd you see him?
Timothy: (pause) He's right there
…

It gutted and sliced and sucked an ate
Flesh from bone and blood from brain
Like a spider on a mad and meth fueled drug
It took from me those that i love

I survived, i turned and ran
I never stopped, i never can
I left my home and all i know
The hunted down the moonlit road

Redneck Greek Chorus:
Let your world just slip away
Tune inside and play the game

Timothy:
Transcenda… transcenda… trascendation Yeah
