Shift Control Goes RPG on Second-Gen Company Site

Hey, this is pretty nifty. CT-based Shift Control Media, which builds casual games for marketers, has relaunched its website with help from Vancouver’s mod7.

The site vibes like an RPG game: You’re an alien exploring human behavior and interning at a Madison Avenue agency. The reading’s a little heavy compared with the few instances of action, but then again you get to hear bullshit words like “synergy” from alien ears.

The alien also observes that “all the attractive humanoids work in marketing.” Hell yes, little green man.
