Hatoful Boyfriend: Crestridge

A surreal, earnest larp set in the world of the pigeon dating simulator game Hatoful Boyfriend.

Long Description

It has been generations since birds developed intelligence, claimed the cities, and became the dominant species on earth, relegating humans back to the caves and forests from whence they'd emerged.

The small town of Crestridge has suffered tense relations, even violent altercations between bird and human longer than anyone can remember. Recently, Crestridge has been taken over by a faction of Accordance Extremists. They believe in the radical solution of mandatory emotional pair bonding between individual birds and humans to forge them into a cohesive society. You and your friends and neighbors have been “volunteered” for an intensive three day program to foster inter-species bonding.

This is a larp set in the world of the pigeon dating simulator computer game Hatoful Boyfriend. Experience with the computer game is not necessary to play this larp. The computer game and the larp are both dark and scary if you take them seriously, whimsical and cute if you don’t, and very weird either way. Expect some dark angsty feelings, some cute strangeness, and some pigeons.

Physical contact - ars amandi mechanic - of hands and arms and any feathers thereon, representing only petting and grooming of wings and arms.
