The Blackout Club provides a unique and ever-evolving “Live Storytelling” experience thanks to the innovative Enhanced Horror System (EHS). We use the term “Live Storytelling” to describe our strategy of allowing players to interact with fictional characters of our game world (Daimons) in a completely improvisational way using live performers, and having those performers reply with detail and nuance. The world of The Blackout Club keeps changing and any encounters with these Daimons are ephemeral and one-of-a-kind. The game's narrative centers on a mercurial relationship between these Daimons – that live in the heroes' heads and may influence their decisions – and the terrifying ramifications of a world where such entities exist. We wanted to build an experience that generates the feeling that this game's gods are actually watching – and occasionally, truly speak to mortals by name – creating a completely distinctive and personalized gaming experience. To our knowledge, The Blackout Club is one of the first games to attempt anything like this, and we'd be so humbled if you considered The Blackout Club for Most Innovative Gameplay for The Steam Awards.
