THE FUSE

Japan is home to an array of gaming-to-live-theater adaptations of beloved video games that transform their virtual worlds into original stories (or that find ways to cram 40 hours of narrative into a single evening). Now a live theatrical adaptation of Gnosia, a 2019 sci-fi social deduction game, is doing things differently, seeking to transform its social deduction gameplay into an entirely improvised live performance, and you can watch the results of this experiment for free on YouTube for a limited time.
