I think people's consensus is "not an ARG" -- the description above is a
fair match to "Nothing So Strange" (www.nothingsostrange.com) and its online
universe ... add in "feature film" and "reality hack". Not an ARG --
probably because of lack of clear goals that could be advanced?

It begs the question "is spec narrative" to which I think the answer is
"sometimes".

Really? What if the players were primarily interacting with each other?
