SUMMARY:Known Mysteries | Play-through + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a unique and interactive opportunity to do a partial playthrough and Q&A of Known Mysteries. The first Solar Server solar-powered indie game. This event will be hosted by Kara Stone (creator of Solar Server and Known Mysteries visiting all the way from Calgary) and PARTYGIRL (voice of Sorrow\, lead). \n\n\n\nTrailer available here! \n\n\n\nKnown Mysteries is a lo-fi climate fable about the desire to escape Earth. A deduction game set in a near-future Canada held captive by massive oil companies. The player guides Sorrow through the mysteries she uncovers upon her return to her hometown after the death of her mothers. \n\n\n\nSolar Server is an autonomous solar powered web server run from Kara Stone’s apartment balcony in Calgary\, Alberta\, Canada. It will host a series of videogames designed to be low-carbon and have environmental themes in the games. Read articles about Solar Server in The Guardian\, Tech Radar\, and CNET. \n\n\n\nKara Stone is an artist and scholar making work about psychosocial disability\, sexuality\, and the environment. She works in different media but most often in interactive art and experimental videogames. Her artwork has been featured in The Atlantic\, Wired\, and VICE\, and exhibited at Athens Digital Art Festival in Greece\, Vector Game Art Festival in Toronto\, Canada and a solo exhibition at Babycastles in New York City\, USA. She is a member of the Different Games Collective\, a horizontal organization dedicated to expanding the culture and industry of games. \n\n\n\nEvent Agenda:\n\n\n\n6:45pm arrive \n\n\n\n7:00 pm live playthrough* \n\n\n\n8:00pm Q&A \n\n\n\n8:45pm short 15min musical performance by PARTYGIRL \n\n\n\n9pm-9:30pm mingle and wrap-up \n\n\n\n* The game is currently free to play online (climate permitting) and while we will do our best to avoid spoliers we encourage you to play it ahead of the event. There are multiple endings to the game so each combination of choices throughout the playthrough has an impact on what ending you trigger. \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\n\n\n\nThis is a PWYC event. Please select the most accessible tier for you! We will be accepting cash donations at the event as well. If you are unable to make a financial contribution we encourage you select the “cash/free” tier and simply attend as a guest\, inquire about an exchange\, or take photos/write a little review. All money will go to venue + project. \n\n\n\nStreet parking only!
