Players: 12-15

Genre: Amnesia, tale-telling

You look at the person next to you, finding only a reflection of your own confusion. Then, the memories flood in. Resonance is an experimental amnesia/storytelling LARP. Play out scenes leading up to the apocalypse, and your choices will not only reveal but determine who you were and what role you played.

Some would call it the end of the world. It was certainly the most drastic change in human history – more devastating than the atomic bomb, and more revolutionary than the information age. The highly psychoactive “Resonance Virus” has swept the globe, leaving no-one uninfected. The bio-engineered disease distorts memory, dissipates ego, and has resulted in… in… you can’t remember.

This must be one of those secure undisclosed locations – where politicos, military and scientists have all been gathered in the final days of the crisis.

What you can’t remember is who you are, what you’ve done, and how the world came to… this state.

Resonance is an experimental amnesia LARP utilising storytelling mechanics in a three-act structure. You will, through your decisions, select your character from one of the few people instrumental in the end of the world, and your choices will determine what will rise from it. You will play out scenes leading up to the apocalypse; what happens in the aftermath is up to you.
