An innovative fusion of live-audience RPG (role playing game) and retro video game music, Extra Lives will be staged next Tuesday, October 22, 7.30pm, at New Athenaeum Theatre, Octagon.
Extra Lives is billed as a "world-first audience RPG" — a narrated, choose-your-own adventure game, where you are the main character.
A press statement said the story would feature large screen visuals, music, sound effects and footage drawn from the legendary console games of the 1980s to 2000s, and a live score by the Extra Lives team.
At key junctures, the audience gets to vote on how the character proceeds.
With multiple endings and 60+ possible variations, depending on audience choices, Extra Lives is an immersive feat for the imagination.
