A Live Action Online Game (LAOG) in which you control the light in the other players' rooms. A group of friends tries to escape their town by going to university. However, they need to have an acceptable social credit score. This score, how 'sound' you are, is live updated through your friends' up- and down-votes. Your current score is visible by the colour your screen is illuminating your face with in the video call.

Outscored is a LAOG about a group of kids attempting to apply for university, while having to rate one another based on behavior to determine a social score (very relevant!) It integrates the clever use of computer lighting. When played in a dark room, the colors from the players’ screens reflect onto the players’ faces, providing an unsettling look into the universe. Play is sandwiched between video diary sessions (vlog-style). We’re very excited to play this game over video chat!
