Project Romeo & Juliet
Two players
Alternate reality
Three Houses of Mana-hatta
by me and eight other puppet masters.
The development of this game began with discussions of magic, and how we wanted to create an environment where people could experience magic in their everyday lives. Many long hours of deliberation led us to the following decisions:
"In a world where buildings go missing, ...
A 2 player ARG that takes place over 3 days in which players move through parallel narratives, independently, in opposition, and eventually collaboratively, to uncover the narrative.
A game that about mystery, intrigue, and deception.
A game where players deliver boxes.
A game that is NOT cyberpunk, does not have DRAGONS or ALIENS or VAMPIRES...
- independent - oppositional - cooperative
Frank thought that this structure sounded like a love story. Romeo & Juliet, the ARG? Having not considered this possibility, we began off in this new direction of thinking (one of many) and eventually settled on the game as it was played, here:
