La Pièce: L’Odyssée de la Pièce

Paris, Oct 2018

At time of writing, La Pièce’s second game is only listed on the French version of their website; if you go through the booking pages in English you’ll see it listed only as an anonymous ‚La pièce 2‘. Don’t be put off though: not only is it fully Eng… (more)

mostly harmless…: Phobos 17

Central London, Oct 2018

Previously seen at the Vault festival at the start of the year with their team vs. team pop up Lifeboat, mostly harmless… returns with a new full-length game. I say ‘new’, but the commonality with their previous production is easy to spot – a simil… (more)

mostly harmless…: Lifeboat

London, Feb 2018

Each winter the tunnels under Waterloo station host the VAULT festival with a huge array of fringe and alternative events, sometimes including shows that edge from immersive theatre to game experiences. This year one of the events is a 30 minute esca… (more)

Fluchtweg: Voyager 2076

Hamburg, Nov 2017

Sci-fi games often have particularly sophisticated sets. After all, if you’re going to build the interior of a spaceship or something equally futuristic, that’s an excuse to go all out, right? Not this game – here the decor is closer to a 60s low-bud… (more)

iLocked: Alien

Nottingham, Oct 2017

iLocked’s first game was highly automated, and Alien takes the level of technology a step further. The setting and story here is of course a nod to the movie, with the players as the crew of a small spacecraft woken from stasis after an attack from a… (more)
