Stage 2 Opens on Inception’s Viral Marketing Site

Posted on Saturday, April 3, 2010 at 1:10 am by AlexHaas

mindcrimestage2 300x225 Stage 2 Opens on Inceptions Viral Marketing Site We’re done with the April Fools jokes (at least until next year), so you can read the rest of this story without any worrying. Inception’s viral marketing website has officially launched its Stage 2 section.

Stage 2 seems to be an improvement to the original Stage 1 Mind Crime game. Now equipped with a leaderboard and instructions, Mind Crime will certainly prove to be more interesting.

Your player, now identified as the “Extractor” (of ideas? thoughts? dreams?), has to navigate through a city maze, avoiding attacks from “Projections.” Before finding the endpoint in the city, you must first collect two “Keys,” which look like little pieces of paper with numbers written on them. These numbers are actually the combination to the safe at the end of the game. Certainly, this version of the game is a bit more involved and there are a ton of things to take away from it.

There’s a few more Facebook integration features too. “Connect with Facebook to share your mazes, target friends, and compete with other players in the leaderboards. Create an asset, which your friends will try to extract. Target your friends and other players to extract their hidden assets.”

    This is amazing…I’m running into all my Facebook friends and they’re all attacking me hahaha. Inception is going to be AMAZING OMFG.

  • Chee

    I’m still kind of disappointed though, I was hoping for something new.
    It’s a great improvement on stage 1 though, I like how you can hide in cars, dumpsters, and on the top of the buildings…I still want that gun though so I can shoot my Facebook friend dead. Hahah.

    Has anyone discovered anything now?:-D

  • apw

    Is this actually Stage 2 or just a revamped Stage 1? It feels more like the latter.

  • Pete

    You can actually see the old trailer and posters while in the game. Maybe this will lead to the new trailer.

  • Eternalist

    Awesome! You can actually see scenes from the trailer playing on TV screens on the building walls in the game. I think that once Stage 2 is open and fully operational we’ll get a new poster.

    It’s Stage 2 alright, but the asset is the same poster from the first stage. Interesting thing, when you walk by the TV’s playing the trailer, it’s actually playing, sound and everything.

  • Jess

    I’ve been waiting for this for SOOO long. It’s so fun!!! I LOVE the marketing campaigns for the Nolan brothers’ films!!! They hook you so well!!!

  • Pete

    Why the hell are the assets old things? Can’t they even just throw us a damn still or something? Such tight wads!

  • Mr. Astronomy

    The character in the game is wearing the same jacket as JGL in the trailer :)

  • Morten

    Mr. Astronomy–>

    Leo also wears a jacket similar to the players.

  • Mr. Astronomy

    You’re right! VERY interesting.

  • OpenYourEyes

    yeah seriously, this next step is very disappointing. They better have something new soon or im done with this viral shit. they already have me hooked enough. but still i was hoping for something new!

  • Mr. Astronomy

    ^ Yeah, right. You’re not fooling anyone, you’ll be the first clicking that mouse away at the announcement of a new viral.

  • OpenYourEyes
