By delving into other legends of haunted video games along the way, Playthrough provides campfire ghost stories for the digital age with humour that belies its darker commentaries.Īt present, Borderline operates under funding on a project-to-project basis. Biggs and Wedge will play through the last remaining copy of the game in front of you, our live audience. The only person to allegedly play through the game as the demon has never been seen again, nor has the game. Finishing the game as the girl, the easier route, immediately erased that copy forever. You played as either a young girl or an invisible demon. In 1989, Killswitch was released in Soviet Russia and became the most legendarily haunted video game of all time. If you are interested in programming the show, please email Rishaad: met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?’ Following this successful development period, we are now exploring a tour of a full production of this new play across Scotland in 2020. We presented two work-in-progress sharings at Summerhall in Edinburgh in October 2017 to invited guests from the theatre and video game industries.
We are grateful to have received support from Creative Scotland to host a development week for Playthrough, written by Kenny Boyle and directed by Ben Harrison.
