In the latest adventure in the Echo Caprese series, our intrepid detective is once again on the case against a shadowy corporate entity, tangled deep in the web when they are accidentally delivered the wrong datachip. It’s Act IV of V when Echo needs to use their hacked credentials to get the prototype out of the cybervault, but before that, they must make a stop at a district office to get the correct form. You work at or are otherwise present at this district office, and you have to make sure Echo Caprese gets that form. Otherwise how will the Player ever finish the game?
Echo Caprese is a comedy larp about the constraints of video game logic and the preposterous world of FMV adventure games.
What
In Echo Caprese and the Silver Moon Directive, you play an non-player character in a cyberpunk adventure video game from the 90’s. You play your character at the office at the same time as the Player (portrayed by the facilitator) attempts to get through the frankly intuitive puzzles in the video game. As a one-off character the Player will probably never see again your responsibility is to follow the script when you encounter them, but beyond that you are free to do whatever you want. What will you get up to while the Player isn’t around?
a larp for 5-10 players

This event is a playtest. This larp isn’t finished, though it will be a complete play experience. It has been playtested before, but there might be some parts that still need more polish. If this game sounds interesting to you even though it is not in its final form, we will be very glad to have you join us! If you’d rather wait for its final form, this game will premiere at Make A Scene!, the Twin Cities’ premiere larp festival on August 22-24.
