Blank Space

As Earth fades away, blackness consumes my field of view. This is the first impression of my new life, my brighter life in the colony. I won the prize to leave behind all I ever knew. Shit life and shit people and they all will be gone soon, I tell myself to feel better. But there is something right outside my eyes, something in the blackness, closing in fast. The spacers say that everyone must give something. Pay the universe a price for the passage we take, a sacrifice for safe travels. I pray that the universe will accept my payment for all I have done. That I can someday open my eyes and face what I see in the mirror.

Blankspace is a symbolic horror larp about guilt, hope and running away from the past. It is set in an unspecified retrofuturistic future in which the Earth is desolate and space is hostile to life. On a spaceship, its crew and some settlers are travelling towards a colony that promises a simple, carefree life and a new beginning. But the past catches up with them – in the shape of a monster that changes everyone who sees it.

The style follows the traditions of Nordic Larp and German Modern Larp. We are aiming for a mixture of character drama, psychological horror and symbolism: Relationships take centre stage, fear is generated by what you can’t see, and many details have a metaphorical level.
