Wait For Me: A Hadestown Fan LARP
A downloadable game
It's an old song... and we're gonna sing it again.
***
Wait For Me is a 90-minute parlor LARP for four players and a GM. The game explores the characters and subtext from the Anais Mitchell musical Hadestown, while still being original enough to provide a unique experience from the musical or the myth. Players will take on the role of a pre-written character to negotiate their goals and attempt to save (or destroy) their relationships. Each ending is different: players should have a group discussion after the game ends to work out the particulars of their group ending.
***
Eurydice is a hungry young girl with no memory of who she was before her contract with Hades, king of the Underworld. Orpheus is a poor boy who will do anything to get her back, even if it means following her to Hades itself. Persephone drowns her sorrows in Absinthe, although it's said her love for Hades once burned brighter than the stars. All four convene in the throne room to untangle their fates. Will they come out of it the same? What could a pair of Gods, married for millennia, possibly have to learn from two mortals? What could two mortals possibly say to convince the Gods to let them go home from the place where no mortal soul ever leaves?
