«The Passage» is a narrative dark game set in an alternate timeline inspired by late 19th century Europe. The game tells the story around the events of a frontier basecamp that was set up as a result of a desperate last resort to lead humanity out of misery.
It focuses on how the individuals cope with the situation and how they manage to keep up hope or how they react when hope dwindles.
We want to create a game about the emotions created under pressure. The pressure of being a nation’s last hope, being locked in a situation where one has to entrust one’s life to unknown or even detested people, and the pressure of balancing on the edge of sanity.
The design of this content LARP provides a dense, dramatic narrative experience for 29 players. It facilitates an interesting story arc for each character with several key choices. In order to achieve the intended dramatic narrative, the players’ choice will be limited in key story moments, but up to the player in key character moments.
Each player will receive a pre-written character including their goals, motivations, relations and other content, and players will not be able to change or add anything story-significant. There will however be a lot of interpretational liberty in how one wishes to play on the character’s goals, motivations and relations and especially how the character expresses emotion.
Important themes:
Hope: Will the characters keep up hope or how will they cope with the loss of it?
Uncertainty: Will they live another day? Will a small expedition return and what news brings the telegraph?
Sacrifice: Will someone value the survival of the group over their own wellbeing or will someone sacrifice the cause for their own gain?
Faith: Who do they turn to in dark times and who will they blame for their failure?
Despite the dark themes, drama and cosmic horror elements the game is supposed to have an overarching wholesome ending.
