Corvus is an ARG that began with secrets hidden within a VR game studio's promotional images.

Subreality Studios

A gallery of secrets

The VR game studio Subreality Studios posted a reddit thread promoting their new Discord server and linking to an Imgur gallery containing screenshots of their currently released games. Small letters were hidden in these images, spelling out /a/8nLqb.

This was another Imgur gallery link, depicting the constellation of Corvus.

Users investigating the ARG in the Subreality Discord server were given a special Corvus role, allowing them into a private #corvus channel. Three messages have been posted by the Mee6 Discord bot to that channel.
