Camera Obscura

By Matt Boothman, after Samantha Leigh

Curzon Labs would test even the most seasoned researcher’s objectivity. The copier is haunted, the consent form has to state that participants won’t eat the researchers, and a seething portal to the lidless eye of Institutional Review Board scrutiny could open at any moment.

Camera Obscura is a serialised actual play of Outliers, a single-player journalling game by Samantha Leigh, based on The Wretched by Chris Bissette, and published by the Far Horizons Co-Op. New chapters come out once a month until the game ends – when the study either gets funded, runs out of money to pay the main character, or gets shut down by the IRB.
