The Sevens, a new interactive story from Secret Location follows young Julie as she learns she is a “Seven.” It’s a promotional puzzle, you see, inspired by a game Secret Location created in 2008. They accidentally left their number at the bottom of the screen, resulting in a massive amount of calls. Using this for inspiration, they created a game where, as you solve the puzzle, you can interact with the game over the phone. Very new-school old-school.
