Setting and Themes
Survival against all hope, community, scarcity, constant threat, trauma and relationships, politics of survival. Diegetically the game took place in the "military" outpost Thermopylae, a days journey from the main underground colony where a few thousand survivors lived. The game was intended to focus on themes such as every day working life under harsh conditions, routine, intergroup politics and social interaction, constant sense of danger and of group cohesion, a functional semi-militarized society and the mystery and "illogical" behaviour and goals of the alien enemy.
Summary
Technical difficulties
The game was somewhat plagued by technical difficulties, which rendered some parts of the larp unplayable.
