“I’ve been looking forward to this event for quite some time, and had some really high hopes for it; all I can say is that all my expectations were not only met but instead exceeded. I was simply blown away by the efforts that everyone put in.”
Colin
“What a stunning setting. The venue, the costumes, the food, the people…never have I seen a collection of individuals that were so prim and proper on the outside, but with so many secrets and drama hidden beneath the surface; myself included.”
Björg
“It was excellent. Really intense, but very safe. Great players, amazing organisers. Highly recommended.”
Elina
“Thanks for writing such good backgrounds/story and inviting such a good crew around you, taking care of people physically and mentally.”
Siebrand
“It is incredible how much effort you have put in all the storylines. Amazing!”
Larissa
“This event not only got the big idea, but also the small details right. For me it is illustrated by the character description. It contains a wealth of information and hooks to play on, giving the player a lot of input and also freedom at the same time. All the nifty little details are in support of the bigger picture. Not only is that helpful in memorising everything, it also adds to the feeling that your character is central in their own story.”
Sanne
“One moustache less and a few days on this event keeps on playing in my head. The end was so incredibly sad. It deeple affected me, being fully immersed in my character. Take that, so called “family”.
I don’t participate in any other events than Obscurus right now and I don’t feel like any others for now. Everything I can come up with and any other characters I encounter feel shallow in comparison to this weekend.”
Mark
“It was such an amazing event and I cannot thank Obscurus enough for organising it. In my mind you have lifted this hobby to a higher level. So many plotlines, connections, intriguing characters with both flaws and redeeming qualities, subtle social hierarchies. I cannot fathom how you managed it all.”
Joyce
“Getting into character was incredibly easy thanks to the location, everyone’s lovely costumes, the perfect servitude of the Downstairs players, and of course the wonderful writing of the Obscurus team: it truly felt like my character ended up in one those Gothic novels she loves to read so much (when she can get her hands on them).”
Astrid
“Cult was one of the best events I’ve been so far – great organisation, great players, great and intense stories, characters, scenes and play.”
Christine
“Cult was a hurricane of emotions from unfathomable horror to all-pervasive delight and I enjoyed each and every second of it.”
Olivia
“A big thanks to Obscurus for writing and organising this beautiful event. Everything was done so professionally, and I feel you’ve really raised the bar (again!).”
Melanie
“Anne-Marieke et Wouter merci pour ces jeux, pour votre univers et votre attention sans faille à la joueuse étrangère. J’espère pouvoir vous rendre la pareille.”
Josephine
“Whoaaaa! Great! Yes that was very nice. High end roleplay, genius plot twists and a very realistic setting. Everyone had loads of secrets and everyone shared them in the right way to make gameplay. Thanks everyone for making such a great game and special thanks to the organisation!”
Erik
“I normally only participate in fantasy larps. This was my first one in modern times. It was so cool. Never before have I found so many like minded people in a game. I could play fully physical, have great emotional moments and very deep talks with other characters. I love fine theatrical play and found a lot of that in this game. Thanks very much to Anne-Marieke and Wouter for the many layered storylines and wonderful setting. Bravo!
Finally: Thank you to all players for the best event in my life. Special thanks to Anne-Marieke and Wouter for the beautiful character descriptions, excellent scenography/setting and personally helping me how to portray my character the best. You are really good writers and game designers, as far as I can tell the finest I know.”
Danny
“Clearly this is one of these events you take with you forever.”
Joyce
“One for the top 10 events of the past 10 years.”
Engelbert
“What an adventure. I find it difficult to find the right words, because this was one continuous flow of incredible play and very intense scenes.”
Melanie
“Thanks to Wouter and Anne-Marieke who know exactly how to grab people by the short and curlies.”
