THE WORLD BEFORE YOUR EYES
THE
PLAYERS
The people participating in the Reapers' Game are known as 'Players', and they are those who have died in the Games jurisdiction of the overall London area and surrounding regions.
As a Player, their goal is to complete the Game and, over the span of seven days, take on the challenges presented to them with their strength, intellect, and sociability. Whether fighting monsters, solving puzzles, or simple interactions with their peers on a daily basis, their every action and intention is watched and judged by those who preside over this strange and psychedelic afterlife.
THE
REAPERS
Those amongst the dead who have broken their shackles to the living world. Overseers of the self-named Game, the Reapers work to manage the challenges and consequences of the Players day to day. Identified by their strange white masks, they coexist in the Underground with those who would return to life.
From the lowly field assistant to high ranking officers who run the show, the Reaper hierarchy is an important aspect of the Game.
Despite their name, the Reapers are not inherently antagonistic, and your relationships with them may prove beneficial to your time in the Game as you work to earn the Stars needed for your success.
THE
CITY
London serves as the backdrop for this game of life and death, and the Underground and its denizens coexist with the living world above it. The two worlds influence each other, and Players will be encouraged to embrace the city itself as any other tool for their survival.
It's people, culture, imagination and will can determine the very strengths and opportunities presented to Players in their quest for survival. Whether it's engaging with the thoughts of the London crowds, dressing up in hot brands like Proudheart or MIRRORMIRROR, or building bonds with the people of the city, every action will give you further chances to grow, both as a Player and as a person.
THE
GAME
The Reapers' Game is not just a test for survival, but a measure of a person's worth. To that end, you'll find yourself unable to participate in the Game unless you forge a Pact with another Player. Collaboration with others is just as important as how you perform in the challenges ahead.
If you survive the entire seven days, your personal performance will be rewarded in the form of Stars, and collecting seven across your time in the Underground will earn you the opportunity to return to life.
You'll be forced to change your Pact Partner from week to week, so making sure that trust is built with your peers will be important to ensure your continued participation.
