Launched today on Kickstarter, the RPG Alice is Missing is designed to be played entirely by text message. It describes itself as "a silent role-playing game about the disappearance of Alice Briarwood, a high school junior in the small town of Silent Falls."
The game is by Hunters Entertainment (Werewolf 5E, Altered Carbon, Kids on Bikes) and Renegade Game Studios. $10 for the PDF, $20 plus shipping for the print, $40 gets you the Roll20 version too.
The game is played live and without verbal communication. Players inhabit their character for the entirety of the 90-minute play session, and instead of speaking, send text messages back and forth to the other characters in a group chat, as well as individually, as though they aren’t in the same place together.
