Description:

The Desperate – an Immersive Club Experience about Craving and Comfort
is a freeform role-playing (party) game in two acts for 6–20 players and at least one game master. The game time is about 3–4 hours.

Despite the gloomy setting the game is intended as an energetic and positive party game. In a way, it is quite a lot like a club simulation with some twists. This does not mean, however, that the game is superficial. The characters can be played as traumatized individuals externalising their pain that reflects the alienation and loneliness in modern society. Alternatively, you can just hop on the party wagon and enjoy the ride of flirting, dancing and drama. Most games are somewhere in between. It is up to the players and the game master how deep they want to dive in to the world of desperation and yearning… but also comfort and solace.The Desperate – an Immersive Club Experience about Craving and Comfort
