Apparently "ARG" stands for "Alternate Reality Game", which is a type of game that uses the real world as a platform. This is often used in YouTube videos, with codes to crack and languages to translate.

Still don't really know what that means... xd

As she says: it's an alternate reality game. It works like a mystery that participants work together to solve in order to move the story forward. With Dexter arg, the participants worked together and gathered evidence to help stop the story's serial killer. Unfiction, unlike args, is not always interactive. It's a story that makes you believe it's not just a story, but could be real. Blair Witch Project is an example of an unfiction. So, while all args could be considered unfiction, not all unfiction can be classified as args.
