We do not tolerate harassment. Please be respectful to the team who sacrifice their time and offer their abilities to create this magazine. - Thank you, stay creative!

I would like to announce the 12th issue of ARG digest you can read for free on argdigest.com or keep physical media alive and by a print copy on amazon. this is a nonprofit mag, (you are paying the min that is allowed by amazon to print it.)

Just a heads up
The upcoming magazine will be delayed a week or so. We will also be switching things up.

Until then
Stay creative, interdimensional peeps.

Personally, whenever my project was reviewed, it showed me what people get right away, what they don't, and what stands out to them. This is valuable insight for a creator. We invite anyone to send us their perspectives on ARGs we covered. It would be awesome to get a player's on-hands review.

Feel free to send us your take on the ARG; we would also love to interview the creator and get their insight.

I think people, especially creators, can get something out of reviews of their project from an outside perspective.

May-June 2025 release

We deeply appreciate the passion and creativity this community brings, and we hope everyone can understand the limitations we face.

Thank you all for your continued support, and we will keep at it!

That being said,
We will not tolerate harassment, disrespect, or entitled behavior.
Our team is made up of passionate artists who have created and completed ARGs ourselves; we understand the work that goes into them.

These decisions are never made with malice, and we always do our best to correct any errors post-publication when possible. Respecting our team’s time helps us continue to make this work sustainable. As much as we wish we could respond to every request instantly, we’re not an on-demand service.

We try to include as many submissions as possible, but often, submissions come in without following the proper guidelines. This might create challenges and, in some cases, requires removal if additional issues arise. (Which usually will be explained if this happens)

A friendly reminder thread: our team works hard to support and promote indie creators. We're a nonprofit with a small team; just one person handles all the formatting and graphics. This month's magazine was over 60 pages!

Past covers being Dad Feels, Boisvert, Umami, The Sun Vanished, Sycopsilico, Alex Bale, Nightmind, Hi, I'm Marry Marry, Perplex City, and Poppy. Also, the interviews with Inside Mind, Tin Foil Tom, Jeffiot, Rainer, Alex Hera, Yolandi Franken, and most of the covers. very inspiring and insightful.

It was awesome to have Poppy for the cover of this magazine. We want to thank all the covers for being so kind with their time. Also the interviews that were so insightful.

It’s been months since I last had a proper snoop around in here, and I see that both ARG Digest @arg-digest.bsky.social and The ARGonauts Podcast @argonautspod.bsky.social have appeared.

Reaction: 👍

I must recommence more active monitoring of this space.
