Alice is Missing GenCon Livestream



I backed this game on Kickstarter, not fully understanding what it was. But DAMN. This isn't your average RPG, for so many reasons. It's the real world, it's raw, it's emotional, and it is all done via texting.

I cannot wait to play this with friends. It's going to be a wild ride, there will probably be tears but what a game. I love how Starke uses games to explore different themes and emotions and make people feel. This isn't about fighting dragons or demons, but confronting emotions and feelings and life. I find the debrief after the game to be a fascinating idea and maybe I am just new to games so it feels new to me, but I love the idea of working through what you just experienced afterwards and not just shrugging it off as a game.

Anyway, this stream just blew me away. I watched it on my phone and the text was so tiny but I couldn't bring myself to look away because watching the conversations and the story unfolding was riveting.
