Inside an interrogation room, a suspect is questioned after a violent event during a protest. Players take on the roles of investigators, and suspects — all trying to make sense of what happened, why it happened, and what should be done to those who crossed the line.

Over three escalating phases, the group uncovers new clues, secrets surface, and trust is tested. The game uses light mechanics to build emotional tension, create ambiguity, and guide a final, irreversible decision.

Inspired by psychological thrillers, Moths is a slow-burning, character-driven larp about failing to see the end — even when it’s right before our eyes.

Moths is a slow-burning larp set in a police interrogation room in the hours following a violent incident at an environmental protest. When news broke that local authorities had authorized Titan Oil Corporation to begin extraction in a protected nature reserve, what had been a peaceful demonstration collapsed into chaos. One dead, three injured, two suspects in custody — and two investigators determined to get a confession before the night is over.

The six characters are each designed to embody a different relationship with environmentalism and with the idea of legitimate action, from radical conviction to institutional activism, from youthful uncertainty to the cold logic of capital. As the interrogation unfolds, these perspectives are meant to collide.

Over three escalating phases, new evidence surfaces and certainties crack. Light mechanics help build emotional tension gradually, and each reveal forces the group to reassess what they thought they knew — about the incident, about each other, and about where the line between justified and criminal actually falls.

Moths is not a game about finding the right answer. It is about the cost of making an irreversible decision under pressure, with incomplete information, in a room where everyone believes they are acting in good faith.
