Thanks for releasing this awesome and compact game! If apes together strong, are Replicants interlinked proficient?

I think it is clever to give advice on different group sizes. Are you planning on releasing random tables to support solo play?

(1 edit)

I already made a first selection of possible tables, but I'm not sure about the format yet.

I'd say random tables are coming soon!

Know what - scratch that last reply: I'm thinking about a proper Solo Play Guide now, so keep your eyes open!

The Baseline Test scene from the film Blade Runner 2049 was a huge inspiration for this game. The interesting thing about this scene is, that the Baseline test is based on a technique actors use to create emotional connections with words and phrases called Dropping-In - but the technique is turned on its head. Replicants are not allowed emotions, so they are not supposed to create connections with these words. Absolutely glorious!

I found this excellent article that goes a bit more into the details of the Baseline Test ins Blade Runner 2049 and how it is the opposite of Dropping-In.

Here's the Tears in Rain monologue from the ending of the original Blade Runner film. The reason I didn't use this as primary inspiration is, that the premise in the 2nd movie has changed and we see the world through the eyes of a Replicant, which changes the focus.

But either way, this scene and the monologue is one of the great moments of cinema and deserves praise!
