Long Description

“You have been selected to join a gathering of your peers to prove the worth of your culture to ours. This is an oral assessment and no materials will be required. Please be prepared to stand for the duration of the examination.”

This game is a philosophical horror in a science fiction setting. The game is intentionally left as a mystery to the players. The game is cerebral, and can be played in person, or online, or even around a table. The game is a mental puzzle, with a right answer- but it will be very difficult to succeed. This game is not more than it may seem. This game is not hard or soft sci-fi. This game is not something you can brute force or fight your way out of. This game is not an experience with high amounts of agency, although it does encourage you to think creatively. In short, this game will be a test presented by the examiners to the players, and the players will be expected to select from among themselves who represents their best answer. There are consequences for your answer, and a reward for success.
