Description

In the pleasure machine you can live any life you choose, but right now the machines are broken.

The Pleasure Machine is a game about a group of people being stranded in the waiting room of a pleasure machine center. For one reason or another they have all chosen to leave their normal life behind to spend five years in the pleasure machine. For some it’s their first trip, for others this is just a stop on the way to the next one. As they wait for the machines to be fixed, perhaps they will find something in each other that will make them reevaluate their decision to leave their lives behind?

The Pleasure Machine is a philosophical drama exploring the meaning of life, and the necessity of human connection.

The game is played mainly in pairs, where you will get to explore why your characters have sought out the Pleasure Machines, and if they will be able to form a connection strong enough to keep them from entering back into it. The players will get to create their own characters in a pre-game workshop.

Meaning – Life – Connection
