Had a great time playing this game. I love the concept of online-specific role playing games and LARPs, and really like what this has done in that arena. The mechanics are almost non-existing, but there are story hooks and threads and some very minimal goals for the player characters, and the fascilitator. The fascilitator themself gets to play a character and have goals, even though that's slightly different from the rest, and helps both keep things moving along, and lets them participate in character. It's a very well thought out game, and I highly recommend it.

Here's my writeup playing it online with The Gauntlet: http://www.supernovembergames.com/tomes-of-tomes/2018/6/17/viewscream-black-widow-brown-recluse

Mindblowing fun. This game is played entirely in character, from the initial impact to death of the crew. It's challenging, and at times a little exhausting, but you will get plenty of opportunities to switch your camera off and take some time to collect yourself (and listen in to what other people are doing.)

Also, there's plenty of advice in Rafael's "10 Commandments of ViewScream" to help anyone make the game memorable and awesome. He's a very good conversational writer.

(The following is true for all of the scenarios in the book) Each of the characters has things that they need from the other people, but they also have attitudes and secrets on their sheet. That's the most clever part. You may be betrayed, or someone might give their life to help you, and you won't know until it's happening.

Each time I've played, even the same scenario, I've been surprised by the places people will take the characters they are given.

Do yourself a favor: watch some videos, or grab a group and try this one out. Only some of you will survive. What will you do to be one of them?

You can watch a full game of the first scenario here: (there may be some minor spoilers, but I won't say which details are predetermined and which are not)

I usually am not a big fan of diceless systems and larps, but I will say I love the idea behind this game.

Personally I love the utilization of the technology to provide the atmosphere of isolation.

I have not played a game yet, but I may definitely adapt the system to one of my regular games.
