So, did you play it?
I'm afraid you're about two years late. The email part died long ago, a kind of a backup with copies of websites created for the game was still available for a couple of years, but now it's impossible even to start the game as it requires online registration and can't connect to anything.

I read about it on TV tropes, and an article that it linked to, but beyond that, I don't know anything else though. But I am intrigued by what I do know, and I wish that more things like that existed.
Though, now that you mention it, I do know a game that's somewhat like that, but it's on mobile: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.telltalegames.exfiltration

To see how real and authentic the experience is. The game was pretending to be a real person or organization communicating with you. What happens if you test that? Does it hold up or does it reveal the illusion? That's something I think a lot of players would experiment with. I would.

Majestic was an amazing game... getting phone calls and emails.... the very first alternate reality game that did it right - still to this day im not sure why they closed it down. The game is a total classic movie!

That is a damn shame but I thought it was shut down well before then - but I could easily be wrong on that. It is certainly worth a remake/reboot though, that much is for sure!

We need to petition for a reboot! Id rather vote for that than the presidential election!

There's a pretty neat ARG currently active, it's called The Black Watchmen.
Haven't even heard about Majestic, but The Game is one of my favourite movies ever.

Boy, I really liked the movie "The Game" with Michael Douglas... I liked the idea behind it and thought it would be VERY cool to go through a similar (but much less hardcore) experience. A few years later, Majestic came along and provided nearly just that. I don't even remember where I originally heard about it, but I paid for and started playing the game right around the time it was closing up. I got really engrossed in it (I got faxes!!) and loved it, but almost immediately was done due to the game's shutdown. As a result, I really didn't progress very far, and that was really disappointing.
I haven't really found a similar option to play with/in. The closest I've found are games like Ingress and father.io, but neither of those comes close to the immersion I got from Majestic, and really, they have very different goals in the first place. Does anyone know of any other similar games/experiences?
