Premiere!

The Party is a philosophical drama about a group of friends having a great party. The game has five acts. At the end of every act the world ends. Everybody dies.

Before the game starts, the players will develop characters and scenes for these characters to play out. As the game progresses, the restrictions on the scenes and on the characters are removed one by one. At the end the characters are free to act as they choose.

The game aims to explore questions about the meaningfulness of life, and the choices one makes in the face of death. It does not provide any answers to these questions.
