This is My Milwaukee was an alternate reality game created by Synydyne. Set in a fictionalized Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the game ran online in 2008 and 2009.[1] On September 24th, 2013, the related video was made private, coincident with the conclusion of Horse_ebooks and Pronunciation Book as well as the beginning of the related Bear Stearns Bravo alternate reality game.

Plot

The game involved the sinister Blackstar company creating a bioengineered creature known as Go.D.S.E.E.D., which was forced underground into dormancy and led to the city of Milwaukee being quarantined. A clock in the upper right of the website counted down to 17:00:00 UTC January 16, 2009. The numbers on the clock were replaced with the word “BO NU S?” after it reached 00:00:00.

Gameplay involved dead drops in New York Public Library and a cafe in San Francisco.[2]
