The Beast

This link goes to the Wikipedia article for the game. Until a few days ago, the best place to find out about The Beast ARG was at the Cloudmakers’ website (http://cloudmakers.org). There’s a notice now saying the site was suspended and no word whether it will be back up. Before it came down, this site included links to archived copies of the game websites, a guide to the narrative and puzzles, and a lot more.
