by Ana Vasile, published on 17.02.2011
Sortane is a web series produced by NNProd and an alternate reality game (ARG) whose launching is planned for March 2011.
Synopsis: Remi takes part in an alternate reality game with his friends Melanie and Romain. But when game and reality get confused, their survival will depend on who is leading the game…
The starting point of the web series is Remi’s arrival in an abandoned park to finish his ARG, his goal: to find a girl who has disappeared. The narrative thread unravels over the course of nine episodes, written and directed to be watched chronologically.
It’s also where the ARG begins for Internet users who wish to participate in this adventure. The particularity of this game is the ambiguity between fiction and reality, since the internet user participates in the same ARG as the characters in the web series.

The editorial coherence of Sortane is insured through a collaboration between Charly Lemega and Vincent Sawicki, who shared the creation and production of the whole system.
While you wait for the first shows to come out, you can see the series’ trailer here.
