THEMES:
Abandonment
Existentialism
Societal Expectations
All characters in this game are SYMBOLIC and are in no way intended to represent these occupations.
This interactive fiction is inspired by Poor Theatre:
Poor Theatre was designed to focus on the actor's abilities and how theatre can exist without unnecessary additions. So Poor Theatre:
Strips away all excesses such as set design (maps and interface), leaving only a handful of props (inventory items).
Aims to rid the disconnect between actor and audience (NPCs and player).
has an acting area that is usually bare (map).
Significant features such as props are highly symbolic (characters & items)
