The Bathhouse

This is a game about gods, queerness, the power of shared myths, and the intimacy of bathing together.

A group of old friends take a trip to a bathhouse together, to reminisce and share stories. In the intimate sanctuary of the bathhouse, as protective layers and long held feelings are stripped and encrusted dirt is washed away, who will they become? Will the gods awaken?

This is a 3 hr LARP for 4 or 6 players designed to be played online in the comfort and safety of your own home. Players take a bath together in the middle; this section is played as an audio only experience, which can be surprisingly intimate and immersive and allows you to lean back and wallow in your bath. It is also possible to simulate the bathing experience with a warm blanket if you don't have a bathtub.
