'''Lotka-Volterra: Acheron''' was a science fiction larp about a small listening post remotely guiding a team of soldiers on an important mission years into an alien invasion.
==Setting and Themes==
The setting was a near future where humanity has been all but eradicated by an alien invasion, and where the planet is slowly being xenoformed into something that is unable to sustain human life. One small colony of survivors now hide underground and attempt to either fight back or find ways to survive undetected.
Lotka-Volterra: Acheron was a small blackbox larp (in Atropos "270 degrees of immersion" tradition, meaning some parts of the venue were fully realized in 360 degrees of fidelity while the rest was blackboxed, taped or simply "imagined") focusing solely on the almost computer game mechanic loop of "Mission Control". Players portrayed various experts that handled signals interception, target recognition, decryption, triangulation, communications et cetera as they tried to lead a team of soldiers on the surface through their mission (soldiers simulated and played by game-masters in an adjacent room).
The larp was designed in part to revisit the parts of the original [[Lotka-Volterra]] that failed due to technical issues and make them work as they were once intended.
