Community is like a vessel for the collective emotion and its resulting imaginations that narrate the complexity of residents’ desires, preoccupations and fears.
A community’s hidden stories can give birth to byproducts of regional history, such as urban legends, providing alternative readings of the regions.
As a community-oriented storytelling game, TERP aims to tackle the issue of improving community members’ mental wellness, inspire players to overcome fears towards precariousness of their habitats, and encourage people to reflect on their hometown nostalgia.
This game can be played by residents of a real community when they physically gather and together relate their shared emotions and memories to the fictional town Red Point. It can also be played among strangers online as a way to connect one to others who share mutual interests.
