the darkness & the rot
You are dying. There is only one way to liberate yourself from the darkness & the rot. The Darkness & the Rot is a live action roleplay designed for a solitary player. By staring into a mirror & confessing their sins, your character must bargain their spirit entry to the afterlife. Build a narrative about the life you character has lived and witness the Troxler Effect bring their fears to life around them.  Remember! Nothing you see during this game will be real - simply tricks of the mind. If you are too uncomfortable to continue, take a break. Look after your physical and emotion health at all times during and after play.  Cover image: The Penitent Magdalen, Georges de La Tour The Darkness & the Rot can be purchased here.
