Witness the Fallen

This is a game about memory and death. In it, the players will take a poem and scavenge it, picking it apart for themselves before putting their disassembled pieces back together into something new, a shadow of the original.

John McCrae, a Canadian poet and Medical Officer during WWI, is most famous for his poem “In Flanders Fields” written after the funeral of his friend Alexis Helmer. The poem has since become deeply tied to Remembrance Day in Canada and is often read at ceremonies on November 11th.

Through this game, 1-4 players will spend roughly an hour in an attempt to channel that spirit of memory and loss for their fictitious person.
