Description:

Long ago, you had a twin, and you used to do magic together. You stopped because life got in the way; your twin did not. The two of you lost touch.

Now you have chosen to follow a dream about your youth, coming to a meeting place to find them.

Your twin is not here.

Twain is an emotionally immersive game about reconnecting and texting with a crucial part of your past that doesn’t text you back. It’s about magic in real life, and the difference between how we related to it long ago and how we relate now as adults.

The game is a mythical layer on top of your real life. You play yourself, with a few changes. Answer prompts by writing directly on the game materials. Then, play out a live scene in a public space to explore your relationship with a fictional twin who grew up to do all the magic that you never got around to.

(Note that this game involves freely emotionally bleeding between your real world past and present and a fictionalization of yourself.)

Details
This is actually a one-player game. In a convention setting, we will come together to play it separately at the same time, then rejoin to reflect and share our experiences (if we wish to). Each player will have a physical copy of the game materials to write on, personalize, and take home.

Bring a pen you love.

You’ll also need outdoor-friendly clothing and a charged cell phone with texting.
