“perhaps there is a reason why you are here. some believe that all things have their place in the world, their reason, their task. some believe that the cosmos does not owe us a purpose.
we don’t owe anything to anyone.”

AYRTH was a three days non-stop role play installation for FLINTA* only. the game was set in a world between worlds and times. the players would bring pre-written characters to life and collaboratively tell their stories about chaos, healing and kinship. a sequel to the game EXOVTO from 2021.
