Hi,

It's January 28, 1985. The recording of We Are the World is taking place at Quincy Jones' mountain chateau in Topanga Canyon, after the American Music Awards. Quincy Jones has invited over 40 artists to record a benefit single, but the harmonics are coded to unlock another dimension and summon a great power. Each chapter focuses on one artist's occult/horror experience while at the lodge.

It's meant to take anywhere from five minutes to half an hour (or maybe even an hour) to complete.

Each of the names in the game is an anagram. It does not unscramble until you have completed that chapter. The first chapter unlocks all other chapters, except the last chapter, which is unlocked after completing all the preceding chapters. Once the first chapter is unlocked, you are free to complete the remaining chapters in any order. Keep in mind, there is no save function. If you exit out of the browser, everything resets.

We made sure to cut as few corners as possible while working on this, as it all happened in a crazy thirty days. From sourcing each individual celebrity image (to make sure it was free to use and alter) to creating individual passages, unique to each celebrity. A lot of time, thought and effort went into this. (We even had the crazy idea of including a 45-minute Paul-stretched version of the original song, as a bonus download item. But then, we also thought about copyright issues. Though, when a song is stretched out to 45 minutes, it is so unrecognizable from the original that by this point, it may not even matter anymore(?)... In any case, maybe in a future update we will include something like this).

With all of that said, we want to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for taking the time to explore (and also, hopefully enjoy) WE R THE WORLD!!!

xoxo
Dan & Mike
