Prisoners of Memory

Written by Olivia Montoya, Azalea Weisblat and Elisa Ford for Peaky Midwest 2021

Long Description

In a world where medical science has advanced to the point of granting physical immortality with a single procedure available to all, but where understanding of the brain lags behind, memory is precious. It's been hundreds of years since immortality became available to everyone, and hundreds of years since the discovery that the human mind can't handle hundreds of years of memory. As a consequence, old memories begin to fade. Eventually, you can only remember the past ten years or so. Humanity has adapted. Society has adapted. But have you?

You are someone who lives in this society, going about your life as usual, when you receive a very old-looking letter in the mail, containing an invitation, a key, and coordinates. When the time comes you travel to that location and find an isolated cabin, and 5 strangers. Or at least they look like strangers to you' All six of you got an invitation. And based on what you discover inside the cabin, it seems that your past selves had something to hide.

Prisoners of Memory is a digital LARP for 6 players about digging up long-buried secrets. Characters are pre-written.
