While The Callisto Protocol is still a couple of months away, we might be getting some new details soon. A recent teaser for the game hid a phone number within the promo, and one brave soul decided to text that number. They received a strange response hinting at an upcoming… something for the game.

After texting the number, they received a response in the form of a 20-second video clip. The video is a series of images flashing through and interspersed with bold words like “ARCAS”, “SECRETS”, “LIES”, and “ANSWERS”.
