Four Lovers
A downloadable game
It is a time of plague.
In the Doge’s palace in Venice, four nobles have been cloistered against the pestilence, each in their own chambers, admitting no one except a servant named Moroso. A representative of holy orders attends to their spiritual needs.
But passions cannot be stifled, nor can the past remain hidden, and even in these dark times love will find a way...
Logistics:
- Participants: 4 or 5, one of whom facilitates.
- Time: Two hours maximum and probably less.
- Technology: Synchronous audio and a group chat function. Video is recommended for the initial workshop and debrief
- Tone: Lighthearted and a little romantic, but not too much.
Content warnings: Romance, flirting and entendre. References to isolation and plague.

Our game went up like a rocket: a short take off for character presentation and before we realized we were catapulted into the heat of intrigues and character exploration.
Everybody leaned hard on their goals using both the gift of the gab and blunt sincerity, trading a grain of truth for a grain of salt. The pivotal Abbess did great but she had to think on her feet.
In the end we got to say the best things to each other (see Lumberjills) and maxed out on bad weddings and good adulteries.
Will play again anytime!
Thanks for sharing your adulterous experience!
Highly recommend this game. Thoroughly enjoyed it for many reasons: multi-modal communication methods, facilitator is still involved even if not the focus of play, shortish playtime, interesting use of technology for online larps, seems relatively easy to run for others.
And? i must pay 8$ for pdf file?
Thanks for asking! Yes, we price our games fairly to compensate the designers for the work that went into them.
I mean, can you show a couple of screenshots? I buy a pig in a poke.
Ah, OK! We'll see what we can do.
I playtested this game and it is FANTASTIC. It includes everything you need to pick up and play, and it's super well-designed to play online without long gaps and waiting around (which can happen with online games). Definitely check it out!
Thank you!
